Empires rise and fall — and money follows. 🌍 Over the past 500 years, the world’s greatest empires and their reserve currencies have followed the same pattern: the Dutch and the guilder, the British and the pound, the Americans and the dollar. 🇳🇱🇬🇧🇺🇸 These cycles typically last ~250 years, marked by innovation and rising power, followed by debt, inequality, internal conflict, and eventually war. 💥 This framework, presented by Ray Dalio, highlights 8 key metrics: education, innovation, competitiveness, economic strength, trade share, military power, financial center influence, and reserve currency status. 📊 Each empire rose with knowledge and unity — and fell with overconfidence, inequality, and the loss of real money. And now we ask: Will Bitcoin become the next reserve currency — not of a nation, but of the world? 🌐 With great respect, I’ve translated this video into Hungarian so others can learn from it too. You can listen to the original in English — highly recommended. #Bitcoin #RayDalio #ReserveCurrency #Empires #GlobalFinance #DigitalGold #SoundMoney

Crisis isn’t loss – it’s a question of direction. 🚦 It’s not about being paralyzed by what’s hard, but about finding where we can still move forward. Our attention, our energy, our focus always flows in the direction we’re looking – so it matters whether we’re fixated on fear or focused on possibility. 🧭 Tonight I attended a dinner in Avalon, where Krisztián Orbán shared his thoughts on geopolitics, the EU, Hungary’s place in Europe, and the looming sense of global instability. 🌍 But what I missed from his talk was direction. 🧩 It’s not enough to say things are bad. People need guidance. They need to hear not just what’s wrong, but what can be done – especially in a country like Hungary, where I live and work, and where the construction sector and the economy as a whole are facing real pressure. We employ over 250 people, and in recent weeks we’ve been working hard to find new ways forward. We started looking into new directions – like the precast concrete market – and as soon as we committed to moving ahead, new opportunities began to find us. ✨ That’s how the world works. Where we focus, we move. You can’t freeze in the headlights like a deer – you have to take a step. 🦌 #Resilience #Focus #Mindset #Hungary #Economy #Construction #Leadership #Clarity
GM ☀️ On the move again this early morning—just like most days. I’ve always loved the morning hours. 🙏🏻

What truly matters is what you do consistently, not what you skip once in a while. Don’t get discouraged if you feel that this week or month didn’t go as planned. The key is to keep going with what you’ve started. Pay attention to what you think about and focus on because that’s where your energy flows, and it defines how you feel. Be a good storyteller in your own life – tell yourself the story you want to see, and keep moving toward your goals. Morning run done: over four kilometers in half an hour. This was my second run this week – less than I planned, but that’s okay. Just keep going! #6AMRun #Running #Motivation #Discipline #Goals #MoveEveryDay
Soon, there will be no need to #rollbackETH because easy money has been replaced by the hardest money humanity has ever had. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I think they’ll just print some ETH. Just a bit. #FiatelloMoment underway. View quoted note → image
🚨 Bybit hack: Ethereum’s weakness exposed & why it can’t happen to #Bitcoin 🛡️ Bybit recently suffered one of the biggest hacks in crypto history: 💀 $1.5 billion worth of #Ethereum (~400k ETH) was stolen. The aftermath? Over 350k withdrawal requests flooded the platform 📈. Bybit CEO Ben Zhou 🧑‍💼 admitted the breach bypassed the entire multisig process 🔑 — no one knew what they were signing. Hardware wallets showed the correct addresses ✅ but failed to display hidden smart contract code 🧩 that gave hackers complete control. 🕵️‍♂️ The Lazarus Group from North Korea 🌍 is suspected. Shockingly, this hack is 50x larger 💥 than Binance’s notorious 7,000 BTC hack at $4k each. Even more striking: North Korea now holds twice as much ETH as Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s creator 😱. ⚖️ The moral dilemma: Should #Ethereum roll back the chain to block the regime’s access? • ⏳ Rollback = Centralization risk. • 💣 No rollback = Supporting a regime using stolen funds for weapons. Tough choice — but this cannot happen with #Bitcoin. Why? • 🏗️ Simple, transparent transactions mean fewer vulnerabilities. • 🚫 No hidden smart contract code to exploit. • 🛡️ Base layer security first — innovation happens on top (⚡ Lightning). 🔒 Less code = fewer bugs. With #Bitcoin, there’s no issuer, no controller 🌍. Even if North Korea stole BTC, it would remain theirs — no rollbacks, no debates. Bitcoin is pure money, neutral and untouchable 💛. 💡 Lesson? Only use Bitcoin-only platforms like @Strike ⚡. Bybit’s huge loss came from complexity. Ethereum’s smart contracts created extra attack surfaces 🎯. Binance lost 7k BTC; Bybit? 50x more because of ETH & other assets. ❗ Not your keys, not your coins. 🔑 🛠️ Want to learn how to self-custody your #Bitcoin safely? Join the next Bitcoin Miskolc event: 📅 March 21–23, 2025 📍 Hotel Atlantis, Hajdúszoboszló 🏨 🌐 bitcoinmiskolc.hu 🐦 @bitcoinmiskolc ✨ Bitcoin. Simple. Secure. The money of the future. 💛 image
Many people correctly observe that buying real estate creates jobs and provides work for individuals and companies. A part of the #construction industry essentially produces “gold” – an asset that serves as a #storeofvalue, replacing the function of #money. But what’s the problem with this? #RealEstate is fundamentally a product created for practical use. It’s not a cheap store of value, as its maintenance is costly and requires continuous expenses. It’s like earning interest in a bank but having a management fee of 1% per year – or even more. So why is real estate still a good #investment? Because its value doesn’t diminish with #moneyprinting. When more money is printed, the price of everything rises – including that of completed properties. But what’s the biggest issue here? The fact that people choose real estate as a store of value simply because there’s no better alternative. If we had a real, #inflation-proof form of money, reduced demand would lead to more affordable #housing prices. The construction industry could then focus on projects that create real #socialvalue. Do we have a better store of value? Yes. We do. #Bitcoin 😊 image
Tuesday morning run in Dubai. Took a break the last few days to spend mornings with family—maybe I was a bit tired too. But today, I felt the need to get back into my training routine, accumulating days of effort again. Dubai is a massive, safe, and beautifully lit city. It reminds me of why I chose Budapest over Debrecen for university—there’s something captivating about city lights by the water. Great to be back at it! #6amRUN #Dubai #JBR
