Lots of talk today about #Bitcoin and #Crypto being regulated, and even Bitcoiners calling for regulations on other cryptocurrencies

I do not like and even reject the framing:
"Regulations Will Help Adoption"

4 basic reasons why, a short 🧵👇
1/ #Bitcoin is already one of the heaviest regulated assets there are, every agency chimes in

IRS, CFTC, FinCen, SEC, have all weighed in with their regulations, and today US Senate bill working to give regulation power back to CFTC

More regulation is NEVER the answer
2/ #Bitcoin is already perfectly legal to buy it right now, both personally and for institutions and corporations.

There is nothing holding it back, look at:
@Saylor and $MSTR + Fidelity + Coinbase + Blackrock, etc, I could go on...
3/ In USA, we don’t ask for permission because we are FREE

Laws tell us what we "Can't" do, they take away freedom. They DO NOT tell us what we can do, they don’t us give permission

I REJECT:
"If only govs regulate us / give us permission, permission, more people will use it"
4/ We DO NOT need to push for mainstream adoption, no one had to push for mainstream adoption of the Internet, the masses will come.

Read This 👇corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/know…

Understand the “Diffusion Of Innovation” theory, read up on it to understand the diagram for why...
5/ 3 good books to read, simple, 1hr max reads that would really help this...

1. Murray Rothbard: Anatomy Of the State
2. Frederick Bastiat: The Law
3. The Uncommunist Manifesto (my plug 😉)

These books can be read in less than 1 hour each, HIGHLY RECCOMEND you check them out

What's Really Behind The Jobs Market Data that NO ONE is talking about, and... the "Real" recession that they won't report on

You don't have to be a Ph.D. to understand this, how the data lies, what this really COSTS YOU, and how to protect yourself

explained in a short 🧵👇
1/ Ph.D. Economists use technical jargon to make economics seem complicated so we just defer to them, thinking they must know how to control this complex economy

But... economics is simple, it's basic logic, so let's look at the job data using basic logic and a historical lens Image
2/ History gives us a frame to understand what's happening and where things will go.

If you touched a hot stove and burned your hand (history) then you would understand if you did it again, you would most likely have the same outcome

🔴Warning:
ESG / Climate measures used today, are nothing new...

There is an exact parallel in recent history, that we should all learn from

Time for a short 🧵on it 👇
1/ If you haven't heard of ESG, where have you been?

I am going to skip over this, but know its a way to increase Central Planning (CP) and control based on arbitrary rules

The main attack vectors today: Food, Energy, and Money
have been known for decades, were forewarned...
2/ Before we look at history, let's see what's happening today.

Sri Lanka is a great place to start. Central Planning (CP) with ESG goals as promoted by the WEF started there in 2018 with a plan to be Net Zero emissions by 2050

They proclaimed Sri Lanka would be RICH by 2025

Are witnessing the blow-off top of centralization and globalization?

Time for a 🧵THREAD🧵 discussing👇

-What is a blow off top?
-Are we about to see a shift toward decentralization?
-What happens next and what will this change look like?

1/
We can all notice a blow-off top when we see a chart of it.

Its a graphical representation of what a true mania looks like.

The famous Tulip Mania of 1636 was the first real mania in financial markets that started it all.

2/
Since then, there have been many manias and blow-off tops in financial markets.

We had the Dot Com bubble in 2000, and then the Bitcoin blow off top in December 2017.

All manias follow a similar pattern.

They suck in more and more people who blindly FOMO into the trend.

A war is brewing in the US over who controls the money supply!

Time for a thread breaking down 👇

-The attack that's currently being waged on the Federal Reserve
-The Treasuries attempts to introduce a ‘’digital greenback’’
-Biden’s executive order on CBDC's

1/
To understand why a war has been waged on the Federal reserve, we need to understand why someone would want to attack them in the first place

Ever since the Fed began meddling in the markets in 1913, they've created enormous distortions in the boom and bust cycle

2/
We’ve seen central banks all around the world, using their inflationary policies to create some enormous asset bubbles all around the world over the past century

These asset bubbles benefit the rich who're able to store their wealth in assets, easier than the everyday person

@RayDalio has done some fantastic analysis on empires in his book ‘’The Changing World Order’’

I agree with most of it but is China really the next rising empire?

Here’s a thread🧵analyzing many of their weaknesses that are often missed👇

-Demographics
-Energy Crisis
-Debt

1/ Image
@RayDalio Lets start with China's energy and water crisis!

80% of China’s power capacity comes from coal, hydro, and nuclear power.

These three energy sources are all very dependent on large amounts of water to function, making their power grid very one-dimensional and fragile

2/ Image
@RayDalio China is HEAVILY reliant on water for their energy grid, so wouldn’t it be an issue if they were experiencing a water crisis?

Well, China has 20% of the world’s population but only 7% of the world’s fresh water resources.

The real reason for high gas prices isn’t what you’ve been told!🔴

If you watch the ''news'', you have heard that it’s all Putin's Fault right?

Time for a thread🧵investigating if this is in fact true, and show you what the mainstream media won’t👇

1/
Press secretary Jen Psaki certainly didn’t mince her words in this recent interview, where she's discussing what's causing the high gas prices in the US

She solely places the blame Russia on for the rising gas prices

But it's not just her blaming Putin for everything

2/
Biden said this in an interview in March when asked about his spending bills and inflation

‘’The current spike in gas prices is largely the fault of Vladimir Putin. It has nothing to do with the [$1.9T] American Rescue Plan that only contributed 0.3% to the inflation figure'
