No, you did not miss the bitcoin train. We are just getting started. Just because bitcoin went up a lot does not mean it cannot go up a lot more. On the contrary, the more it goes up, the more it demonstrates product-market fit, the more likely it is to go up. Bitcoin is diffe…
The Fed started raising rates in March 2022 with bitcoin at $42k. 40 months later, bitcoin is up 167% to $112k & all the poor fiatbros who said bitcoin is a "low interest rate phenomenon" still have to listen to Fed announcements every month like serfs listening to their lor…
Dr. Hisham Ammous: Life as Clinical Surgery Sept 1, 1944 - June 6, 2025 Hisham Saifedean Rashid Ammous was born in the village of Atteel in Palestine on September 1, 1944. After finishing high school in nearby Fadiliya school in Tulkarem, he moved to Saudi Arabia to work as a s…
The only reason you could possibly have for not thinking bitcoin is the most important invention in the world is that you're brainwashed by fiat inflation propaganda to not understand the devastating impact of inflation, the world's biggest problem.
5 years ago at the height of coronahysteria everyone worried about their savings. If you put $10,000 in "risk-free" long-term US government bonds, you'd have $6,000 today. If you put the $10,000 in "risky speculative tulip" bitcoin, you'd have $106,000. HFSP, bondcucks!
Astonishing shitcoinery by Milei, shocking even to shitcoiners. He marketed a shitcoin to support the growth of Argentina, received millions of dollars from fans worldwide, dumped his coins, tanking the coin 95%, deleted the tweet, and now expects everyone to just move on.
Javier Milei One Year Assessment Everyone excited about an Argentina economic miracle is basing it on all sorts of government statistics except the most important statistics: money supply measures and public debt growth. Under its new supposedly free-market Rothbardian presiden…
Bitcoin has now been working and trading for 15 full calendar years. It's time to see how it's doing and run some numbers. On Jan 1, 2010, there were 1,624,000 bitcoin in circulation trading at around $0.001 each. The total market capitalization of bitcoin was ~$1,624. On Dec 3…
Every bitcoiner has experienced years of ridicule and insults for believing in bitcoin. When bitcoin hits new all time highs, it is tempting to remember everyone who said something stupid to you and go back and rub it in their face. But you remember that gloating is not nice, and…
All fiat arguments against bitcoin summarized: "Bitcoin doesn't work as money because it makes you rich if you hold it, and money is supposed to make you poor. I learned that in my fiat-financed indoctrination center." #TweetLikeANocoiner
Do you hear that deafening silence? It's the unmistakable sound of thousands of economics PhD's, central bankers, and fiat thibkois ignoring bitcoin.
Yesterday, the USD price of bitcoin reached 10x the price when The Bitcoin Standard went to print 7 years ago I dedicate this 10x to everyone who asked me if bitcoin's too expensive. Bitcoin's never expensive but as long as a fiat price of bitcoin exists, fiat is too expensive
Ten years ago, if you bought $10,000 of long-term US Treasury bonds & reinvested dividends, you'd have $9,793 today. If you bought bitcoin instead, it would be worth $2,125,344. And the average bondcuck is still psyopped into calling bitcoin a scam.
It's nice that politicians are pandering to bitcoiners, but promises are cheap. There is a major insurmountable obstacle to the US govt buying bitcoin: The US govt does NOT own or control the US Federal Reserve, which is a cartel of private banks. The US President can't just tell…
Under Bukele, the homicide rate in El Salvador declined 93% from 36 to 2.4. Under Trump, the homicide rate in the USA increased 23% from 5.24 to 6.42. Trump is lucky his base cares more about trolling Democrats & funding Israel's genocide than their safety.
Going off the gold standard in 1914 stopped a centuries-long increase in affordability of homes by degrading the value of money, forcing people to use their homes as saving accounts, raising house prices beyond the rise in income
Reminder that this account told you that Keynesian economics, central banks, covid, the climate crisis, renewable energy, altcoins, democracy, nutrition science, Zionism, and psychiatry are all stupid fiat scams before it was safe or cool to do so.
Happy bitcoin halving day!! For the first time in history, humans have a form of money whose supply increases by less than 1% per year. This is a big deal because the hardness of our money is a control knob for our time preference: the degree to which we discount the future. Th…
A cousin of mine met with a financial advisor, who explained to him his sophisticated investment products & showing him their track record. Cousin: That's nice. But buying bitcoin outperforms all of this and doesn't require fees or active management. Financial advisor: Good poi…
10 years ago, if you invested $10,000 in long-term treasuries & reinvested yields you'd have $11,172 today If instead you invested $10,000 in bitcoin, you'd have $761,290 Lending money to gov'ts to kill foreigners, bail out banks & buy elections is exactly as dumb as it…
Bitcoin, as it is, saved my family from hyperinflation in Lebanon. It is entirely essential to my life. It works perfectly fine for me as it is. It is not some "cool" piece of software whose next iterations I'm "excited" about. It is my lifeline. If it never ads a single capabili…
I travel a lot, and almost everywhere I go these days, people are pessimistic & complaining, mainly about economics. El Salvador is an amazing exception. Everyone is truly excited about a future where the streets are safe & gangs aren't extorting & terrorizing everyon…
Do you realize how stupid we are going to look to future generations when they find out most of us believed the only way for money to work is to have a banking cartel that can create it out of thin air?
Normies: "I'd like a bank to just hold my money & make payments on my behalf. I'll pay for this service." Fiat cartel: "That's illegal. Your only choice is to become an unsecured creditor to a hedge fund calling itself a bank so they can use you as an excuse for a bailout"
This is the first paper Egyptian pound, issued in 1899. It was redeemable for 7.4 grams of gold. Today, 7.4 grams of gold are worth 12,000 Egyptian pounds. Fiat money is a plague that has ruined our planet.
Ethereum may be a centralized shitcoin pretending to be decentralized to commit securities fraud, but one can't but marvel at their success in implementing completely technically unjustified, programmable & indefinite ponzi scheme lock ups. Congratulations on this, seriously
Why take your bitcoin off exchanges: Bitcoin exchanges are run by people who learned fiat finance. Gambling with depositors' money is normal & healthy for them, because in the fiat system the central bank destroys the currency to bail them out every time it goes wrong.
Everyone shocked & rekt by FTX, Luna, Celsius, and 3AC blowing up thinks Ethereum is a legitimate and sound project. Everyone who expected FTX, Luna, Celsius, & 3AC to blow up & is unaffected by it thinks Ethereum is a doomed vaporware ponzi. Lesson in there.
Global bonds are collapsing in their fiat currencies, which are collapsing against the dollar, which is fast losing purchasing power. It will be months & years before the average fiat user realizes just how much they're getting ruined financially. The "new normal" is poverty.
Fun fact of the day: If your university economics professor didn't teach you that going off the gold standard was the most significant & devastating policy mistake of the 20th century, he's not an economist, he's a fiat cartel mouthpiece benefitting from the crime of the cen…
Canadians pay half their income in taxes, wait 2 years to see a specialist, and bleed for 18 hours in an ER next to a dozen addicts looking for free drugs, and then rave about how awesome it is that they have "free healthcare".
Periodic reminder: You can download free digital copies of The Bitcoin Standard and The Fiat Standard from Library Genesis. I don't believe intellectual property can be stolen, and I think piracy is the best marketing! libgen.rs/search.php
The most entertaining sport to watch over the next 2 years will be the mental gymnastics of fiat economists explaining to you why locking people at home, banning them from work, and printing trillions of dollars are actually unrelated to price rises & economic crises.
Even after this huge crash, bitcoin still beats all pretenders for long-term saving If you spent the last 5 years saving $100 a month, here's what you would have today if you put it in: Bitcoin: $29,212 S&P500: $7,743 Dow Jones: $7,654 Gold: $7,089 PIMCO Active Bond ETF: $5…
Inflation is low if you just replace your house with a pod Inflation is low if you just replace meat with bugs Inflation is low if you just replace your car with house arrest Eat the bug. Stay in the pod. Save fiat parasites' Cantillion privilege @TheFiatStandard in a nutshell
