Whether it’s creating trillions of dollars out of thin air or prosecuting multiple forever wars, Uncle Sam has lost the plot.

Today, fewer than 2 in 10 Americans trust their own government.

Why?

Brian Morgenstern explains in the latest episode of the The Peer to Peer Policy Podcast.

Contemplating the utter insanity of paying up to 44% in capital gains tax to a federal government:

>Whose SEC is leveraging lawfare to destroy the very industry I work for;

>Whose White House wants to kill Bitcoin miners and choke off citizen access to the soundest money ever…

If you’re a farmer, are you taxed on the value of your corn the second you harvest it from the field?

Of course not. You’re only taxed when you sell your corn on the open market.

The same logic should apply to Bitcorn. 🌽

BTC = a commodity and should be taxed as such.

“As renewable energy initiatives integrate with bitcoin mining, the potential for sustainable technological advancement grows exponentially.”

BTC is fast becoming a crucial partner to green energy projects.

A great piece from Decentra Suze in Forbes

“Bitcoin is necessary because our stewards of the dollar are screwing everything up.”

The champions of Modern Monetary Theory have spent the last decade living in La La Land.

We can’t pay for whatever we want, however we want, whenever we want. Eventually, the bill comes due.

The US is adding $1 trillion of debt every 100 days.

To put this number in perspective, it would take a human being more than 31,000 years to even count to 1 trillion.

How much longer can this go on?

Humongous milestone for Riot as we energize Corsicana.

We'll put up 4 100mw buildings this year adding about 16 EH/s

The total 1 GW pipeline made available at Corsicana, gives Riot the most predictable path for growth of any public miner.

We know where our hash will be

“So how is it right now that Hamas has access to money?”

A reminder: Traditional money laundering—involving banks, money exchanges, and cash—has always been Hamas’ primary means of fundraising.

Wally Adeyemo knows this—but he also knows this isn’t what Sen. Warren wants to…

UP ONLY

When did CPI start going exponential?

1971. The same year the US left the gold standard.

Inflation and fiat funny money are two of a kind. Bitcoin is a protest against both.
