Tokenised gold ≠ Bitcoin. A gold token is just an IOU for metal in someone else’s vault, with counterparty risk, seizure risk, and no self-custody. Bitcoin is bearer, borderless, and final. You can’t “eat its lunch” when you still need permission to touch your food.

You can copy Bitcoin’s code, but not its launch, trustless decentralisation, or 15 years of unbroken security. Money is a network, not just a protocol. The market has already chosen its Schelling point, and you can’t fork history.

The kind of press release brands are “forced” to do nowadays.

The UK’s Online Safety Act isn’t about porn. It’s about power. Under the guise of “protecting children,” the law pushes platforms to verify users’ ages wiyh a governement ID, and in doing so, kills anonymous political speech. Can’t prove you’re over 18? You’ll be locked out of “sensitive” content, which increasingly means protest footage, war coverage, anti-state dissent, and anything inconvenient to power. This isn’t censorship with jackboots. It’s algorithmic invisibility. You’re not silenced, you’re shadowed. No Governement ID, no full access. No face scan, no political truth. This isn’t about safety. It’s about building a compliant digital citizen. One who sees what they’re told. And nothing else. #Nostr #FreeSpeech #OnlineSafetyAct #UKcensorship #DigitalID #PrivacyMatters

$STRC is doing something unprecedented in financial history. Not everyone understands it yet. I call it Bitqualisation (Sound Money-Backed Capital Formation). Why? Because for the first time ever, a public company is building a multi-layered capital structure backed directly by Bitcoin—not through traditional debt, not through fiat financing, but through a new class of instruments. $STRD, $STRK, and now $STRC are all steps in that direction. But $STRC goes further—allowing investors to subscribe using Bitcoin itself. Let me make it clear: → No fiat loans → No credit liabilities → No equity sold up front → No monetary expansion Just Bitcoin on the balance sheet, structured into capital. Not by selling it. Not by rehypothecating it. But by unlocking its value—natively. Strategy was the first to pivot its reserves into Bitcoin. $STRC is the first to use Bitcoin as a foundation to raise capital—without touching the credit system. No precedent in gold. No precedent in sovereign finance. No precedent in fiat history. This isn’t banking. This isn’t debt. This is bitqualisation—Bitcoin-backed capital structuring with no new money created. Most won’t get it. But they will.

You don’t sell Bitcoin in the age of AI. You accumulate it. As AI accelerates productivity and automates away inefficiencies, the only thing governments can inflate is the money supply. Fiat will lose purchasing power. Fast. Bitcoin is the digital anchor in a world of exponential change.
AI is speed. Bitcoin is stability. If the UK is serious about competing in the AI century, it shouldn’t be selling Bitcoin. It should be securing it, alongside compute, energy, and talent, as part of a sovereign tech stack. Don't sell the asset that makes sense when everything else stops making sense.

2045. No banks. No borders. No permission needed. Your wallet holds energy. Your home runs itself. Your kids build freely on open networks. Bitcoin anchors it all. We didn’t fix the old world, we replaced it.

This paper going vital on social media. Here’s my take based on Austrian economics theories. The paper by Thomas Lys argues that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value because it generates no future cash flows. It applies a traditional discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation model and concludes that Bitcoin’s value is zero, or at best highly speculative. He’s not alone. Many out there argue the same. Hell my wife did so as well until a few months ago. “Bitcoin has no intrinsic value.” This claim misunderstands what Bitcoin is. Bitcoin isn’t a stock. It doesn’t produce cash flows. But neither does gold. Neither does fiat. Neither does land you don’t rent out. You don’t apply a DCF model to money. That’s a category error. Bitcoin isn’t an investment security. It’s a monetary asset, a store of value, a medium of exchange, and (increasingly) a unit of account. It’s valuable because it serves these roles better than fiat: • Scarce (21M) • Portable (instant, global) • Divisible (sats) • Verifiable (trustless) • Durable (on-chain forever) • Resistant to seizure and censorship He wouldn’t say gold is worthless because it doesn’t pay dividends. Same with Bitcoin. Its value comes from its monetary utility, not yield. This is the monetisation of a monetary good, not a “bubble”. If you think value = cash flow, you’ve already missed the point.

The madness

Elon Musk launching the America Party isn’t just US theatre, it’s a signal. When tech billionaires start shaping fiscal narratives while Washington prints $37T “emergency” packages, Europeans should ask: who’s safeguarding monetary sanity on this side of the Atlantic? This isn’t just about politics. It’s about where capital trust migrates next.
