Bitcoin just breached the simulation. History will remember bitcoin as the money that ascended beyond control.
Ever notice how each social network leaves you with a different emotional residue? that’s not random. it’s design. not just by the companies but by the shadow players upstream. russia’s touch feels like apathy. scroll long enough and your will dissolves. you stop caring, stop believing. the goal isn’t persuasion = it’s paralysis. “nothing’s true, so why try?” china leaves you with obedience. or maybe shame. you sense that you’re being watched. so you stay quiet. smooth edges. no chaos. just algorithms nudging you into submission, one clean feed at a time. the U.S.? you walk away feeling addicted, hyped, angry, tribal. it’s all dopamine and division. they don’t censor = they stimulate. keep you buzzing, scrolling, fighting. you think you’re choosing sides. really, you’re just feeding the machine. UK? that cold, cynical irony. memes on memes. clever, disarming, empty. nothing matters, but it’s funny. the crown found a way to turn skepticism into sedation. israel? precision. eerily targeted. you feel like the ad knows your past. it probably does. their psyops run like startups. lean, personal, surgical. france? it’s the vibe of elite contempt. curated feeds, soft power. you’re allowed in = but never quite belong. the gate is velvet, but it’s still a gate. not saying every post is an op. just saying… you can often feel who wrote the script.
X is down, Nostr is up. Bitcoin is up.
In the American experiment, taxes were originally a rallying cry against tyranny “no taxation without representation” wasn’t merely a slogan, it was a declaration that the fruits of one’s labor should not be seized by a distant authority without consent. The Boston Tea Party wasn’t about the price of tea, it was about the principle that a free people should never be reduced to the role of involuntary funders of imperial agendas. The Constitution encrusted this distrust direct federal taxation was heavily limited, with the income tax seen as anathema to liberty. But that changed in 1913 with the ratification of the 16th Amendment, under the guise of fairness and necessity, the federal government claimed permanent, unlimited access to private earnings. World wars expanded that reach. Today, the tax code has become a labyrinth designed not to raise revenue efficiently, but to manipulate behavior, reward allies, and punish dissent. The IRS, once unthinkable in a free republic, now holds more power than the average citizen can challenge. We have gone from rebellion over a tea tax to quiet compliance with the annual seizure of more than half our productivity. Taxes are no longer a means to fund liberty, they are the price of forfeiting it. What began as a tool of self-government has inverted into a tool of surveillance, coercion, and economic servitude. The means became the end, and the citizen became the collateral.
Civilizations scale directly by how much energy we capture and coordinate. We are not stuck because we lack physics, We are stuck because our systems can’t agree on how to build. Type I = Full control of a planet’s energy Type II = Full control of a star Type III = Full control of a galaxy That’s the game. Most people are playing the wrong one. Fiat can’t scale us. Civilization-level infrastructure needs money that settles faster than courts and resists collapse. Bitcoin fixes the Kardashev bottleneck. + Proof-of-work = energy native + Final settlement = planetary speed + Borderless capital = long-range coordination + Mining = the first real buyer of surplus energy, anywhere You want more dams, more solar, more nuclear? Bitcoin gives them instant cashflow before they even find a buyer. It creates the only incentive to overbuild capacity. That’s how you climb. Every watt mined is a vote for civilization-scale throughput. The fiat world tells you to use less. Bitcoin tells you to build more. That's the difference between decline and ascension. image
Who is exclusively here in primal? That i need to follow and keep up with thank you in advance!
China’s 2021 Bitcoin mining ban may have been the single greatest self-inflicted wound in a geopolitical era by exiling an industry it once dominated, China didn’t just reduce energy consumption = it severed its grip on the emergent nexus of decentralized infrastructure, allowing the U.S. to absorb not just hashpower but the architecture for AI-aligned data centers, sovereign energy grids, and post-dollar monetary rails; while China focused on top-down control and CBDCs, the U.S. inadvertently gained a bottom-up, globally-adopted monetary protocol that can now be tied to energy policy, national defense, and digital trade routes; in this light, Bitcoin mining was never just about coins = it was a digital Manhattan Project, and by vacating the field they may have lost the digital softwar.
We got spot Bitcoin ETFs. That was a major milestone. But there’s still a flaw: cash redemptions. Institutions can redeem ETF shares for dollars instead of actual bitcoin. That means bitcoin can flow in and out of the ETF without touching the network, without buying or selling real BTC. It opens the door to paper bitcoin: financial claims that dilute the real thing. In-kind redemption closes that door. It requires that ETF shares be exchanged for real bitcoin. No shortcuts. No proxies. Every redemption means actual BTC moves on-chain. That ties ETF activity directly to the real market, aligns supply and demand, and reinforces price discovery based on truth, not IOUs. The ETF is a bridge, but only in-kind redemptions ensure it connects to bitcoin’s real foundation. Until then, we’re still letting legacy finance create illusions in a system built to end them. How can we force this:
When the dust settles from trade wars, AI revolutions, and dollar decay, one asset remains untouched by manipulation, corruption, or control 21 million units of incorruptible energy, secured by time and math. It starts by swallowing the $1T store-of-value niche… (we are here) Then moves into $20T of gold, $100T of global bonds and real estate, Until it becomes the base layer of all serious capital from sovereign treasuries to self-custodied AI agents. As the world scrambles for trust, America has a chance to lead not with coercion, but with credibility. A republic rebuilt on true pillars And if we get it right, America doesn’t just stay on top It becomes the gravitational center of a new monetary era. This is how empires don’t fall. This is how they evolve.
The thing is, The majority of the world sees Bitcoin  as an extremely risky asset, which is literally the complete opposite. It is the safest and most conservative asset/property to allocate your purchasing power to. That is the asset I want to be in, the one that older generations think is extremely risky and the younger generations think is a boring and conservative way to increase purchasing power. It is impressive how humans cannot decipher the simple thesis behind this asset, whereas Bitcoiners could literally point out +10 extremely compelling theses on why it is important to own Bitcoin. image
