A #Bitcoin masterpiece has been written by @johnkvallis, and Sunday is the perfect day to immerse yourself in this beautiful work of art...

"Money Messiah" uncovers the consequences of corrupt money better than anything I've ever read.

Quick thread⬇️:

johnkvallis.substack.com/p/money-messia…
One of the most profound lessons the study of #Bitcoin, money, and economics will teach you is that the materialist perspective is incomplete. For humans, motivational significance matters more than any substantive reality...
A civilizational paradox: as we strive to push back the uncertainties of entropy through capital accumulation and the establishment of socioeconomic protocols, we run the risk of creating a tyrannies of excessive order. To succeed, we must surf a knife-edge of order and chaos...
Through our contentions with one another and the constraints of physical reality, we discover the contours of nature (human and nonhuman) and encode this knowledge into our "mythic structures" including the property rights and legal systems comprising nation-states.
When these "mythic structures" evolve in a way that is divergent from their purpose, "heroes" are called to courageously face the unknown and discover new, useful information necessary to reengineer our hierarchies in congruence with the contours of human and nonhuman nature.
This makes the hero (and its modern embodiment, the entrepreneur) a necessarily revolutionary figure. To contend with the unknown successfully, "articles of faith" are essential mechanisms for the entrepreneur to guide himself. Of these, none is more paramount than honest money.
When the "article of faith" of money is corrupt, it distorts the feedback loops between entrepreneurial efforts and outcomes, leading to rickety construction jobs on our many "mythic structures." To be honest, money must be as limited in supply as the time/energy it emblematizes.
Closely related to the concept of limitation is value, which humans use to prioritize their actions and assemble social hierarchies. Money is the social technology which communicates value with the highest fidelity—that's why it is our oldest and most important tool.
As the language of common economic numeracy, money is the primary link among human minds worldwide and humanity's many social hierarchies. When this language is congruent with the truth of time/energy scarcity, it harmonizes human action. When it is not, societies self-destruct.
I could go on and on about this work of art by @johnkvallis, but to truly appreciate the magnitude of his accomplishment, you'll have to read it all yourself.

A timeless piece of literature, this work answers the question "What is Money?" with elegance and force.
#Bitcoin is incorruptible money, and therefore it holds great promise to purify humanity's many hierarchies.

Thank you for your work @johnkvallis 🙏

This man spent 20 years training intelligence agencies, wrote 3 bestselling books & can hypnotize anyone into committing murder in under 40 minutes.

Here are the top 7 wildest things I learned while interviewing Chase Hughes (THREAD):

1. How to spot a psychopath
About 1% of the population are psychopaths and we've all already met at least 10 of them without knowing it.

Watch the video above because there is a specific reaction that happens at the end of every conversation with a psychopath (comment below if you ever notice it).
2. The confession framework.

Intelligence agencies use a specific 4-step process to get confessions out of almost anyone.

In the next 60 seconds we will explain how it works & how to protect yourself from it:

People keep asking how I stay in this shape at 40.

So here's the diet protocol I use to keep my body in an elite, healthy, and functional state (while everyone my age gets sicker):

1. I skip breakfast completely. Image
I wake up with electrolytes and a hydrogen tablet dissolved in water – this stimulates glutathione production in the liver and acts as an antioxidant drink.

Then black coffee, peptides and I head to the gym. Image
I train in the morning (weights, yoga, pilates, swimming or a walk) depending on the day.

After training I come home and eat lunch as my first meal.

> Two meals a day, lunch and dinner.

PS. Sometimes I'll have breakfast when I'm extra hungry or extra fatigued from training. Image

Everyone keeps asking me what I’m on to look like this at 40.

So here are all the peptides, anabolics, and hormones I used to reach 8.5% body fat at 227 pounds, 6’4” (a 100% transparent thread):

1. Retatrutide Image

I just turned 40.

Here are 40 lessons I would tell my 20 year old self to unf*ck my money, body, and entire life (THREAD):
1. The definition of a loser is one who does not learn.

Every failure is a lesson that has not yet been accepted.
2. Human action defines each human (not your words)

I spent 7+ years studying money full time to understand how the financial system was designed to keep you poor forever.

Here are the top 10 brutal truths no one will ever teach you (THREAD):

1. Every dollar is your life compressed into a token.
When inflation destroys it, those are real hours of your life you can never recover.

It is a legally enforced transfer of wealth from those who earned it to those who printed it.
2. Food, healthcare, pharma and politics look like separate problems (they're not)

They all operate inside the same broken incentive structure built on top of dishonest money.

For every thousand hacks at the leaves, there is but one strike at the root. Corrupt money is the root problem, but its symptoms are countless.

The state doesn’t tax because it needs money.
It can print that.
Taxes exist to steal the value of your labor.
Taxes are a system of legal coercion designed to extort value from producers and redirect it toward political ends.
Once you see this, the tax code stops being confusing.
It becomes revealing.
🧵👇Image
The tax code is not neutral.
It punishes prudence. It punishes productivity.
It punishes saving in depreciating currency.
And it selectively spares those who deploy capital into productive systems.

Two systems of taxation exist:
• One for those who understand the incentives
• One for everyone else
“Rules for thee, but not for me.”Image
The current administration is taking this idea and sprinting with it.

The national debt is approaching $40 Trillion and you can’t tax your way out of that.

The only options are to:
Print your way out of it
Grow your out of it
The so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill” exists to do both:
Spend (via money printing)
Tax deductions for business owners through bonus depreciation
Bonus depreciation isn’t generosity. It’s a desperate attempt to “stimulate” growth.
An economic hail-mary that business owners can stimulate enough long-term real economic growth to offset monetary debasement.Image
