In celebration of November 21st, The @WhatisMoneyShow is releasing the Pysh Series (6 episodes total) all at once, today. In The Pysh Series, @PrestonPysh and I explore two books:
1. The Brain by David Eagleman
2. The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav
Episode thread⬇️
Ep. 1: Money as an Extension of Mind
Ep. 2: Money and Memory
Ep. 3: The Schizophrenia of Fiat
Ep. 4: Meta-Intelligence
Ep. 5: How Intention Shapes Reality
Ep. 6: Money, Power, and Soul
Preston and I took some real thematic risks producing this series, as it deviates significantly from "traditional #Bitcoin content."
We welcome your feedback, and I encourage people to remix snippets of this series into clips, memes, or other media assets which I will amplify!!
If this style of series release resonates with everyone, I will strive to do something similar on the 21st of each month going forward, in celebration of 21M #Bitcoin as the motif for a 21st century digital renaissance.
Now, let's go orange-pill humanity!!!

In 1900, Nikola Tesla envisaged "a principled machine" as the end of war. Today, that machine is #Bitcoin
“...a machine embodying a higher principle, which will enable it to perform its duties as though it had intelligence, experience, judgement, a mind!”
The difficulty adjustment of #Bitcoin makes it the world’s first “intelligent” money: it forever shifts the game of property into digital space, and makes the battle of establishing consensus on ownership “a mere spectacle, a play, a contest without loss of blood.”
Above quotes from "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy" by Nikola Tesla, available here:
CLAIM: “Namely, that our inevitable flaws, including our lack of perfect foresight, require guardrails to reduce the risk of unintended consequences, like, for example, speculation in “low-risk” mortgages that drove a global financial crisis.”
Contrary to the popular misconception, the 2008 great financial crisis was driven by the eurodollar system (cc: @JeffSnider_AIP), a consequence of central banking.
Private property rights can equally be called private property responsibilities. A proprietor is incentivized to take responsibility for the assets he owns to maximize the usefulness and longevity of the rights they bestow upon him.
"Give a man the secure possession of a bleak rock and watch him turn it into a garden.
Give a man a 9-year lease on a garden and watch him convert it into a desert.
The magic of property turns sand into gold."
Fiat currency inflation is a violation of private property—the arbitrary movement of wealth from one set of hands to another.
Inflation is a legally enforced injustice; it disincentivizes prudence and triggers a widespread abdication of responsibility among market actors.
International waters have historically been the greatest geographic safe haven from nation-states. Gamblers, pirates, smugglers, and other sinners seeking to engage in state-condemned activities willingly make use of this ungovernable territory.
This oceanic realm is rife with high degrees of risk, reward, and self-responsibility. But exactly why is maritime law so different from the legal systems operating within terrestrial nation-states?
A thread summarizing "Sovereignism Part 1: Digital Creative Destruction"
My 12-part essay series explores the digital disruption of the nation-state and the subsequent amplification of individual sovereignty during the digital age.
Statism is a system of socioeconomic organization which originated in the Industrial Age. Statism includes all state implementations of capitalism, communism, fascism, and all other state ‑isms; it does not refer to these ideologies in any pure sense.
Statist implementations arose in the 20th century, when the only known mode of sustainable human organization was a top-down, centrally controlled nation-state.
