For all bitcoin’s growing pains, it represents the future of money and global finance.

America, 1776 The development of the American colonies moved in an arc. They began with a lot of oppression (after the old world model), shook it off as the arc rose toward 1776 and the revolution, then headed slowly back down. My job today is to give you…

(Originally published April 8,2021.) The past year has been a mass confusion of fear, misinformation, cover-ups, tyranny, crazed true-believers and more. Making sense of it has been difficult, and even those of us who try to do so professionally have come…

It’s late summer in Anytown, USA: A small platform stands at the edge of a cornfield. A very average-looking person steps up to a microphone and speaks: Friends, I stand here, not to praise you, but to acquaint you with reality, at least as well as I am able.…

When law was sovereign All of us in the modern West grew up believing that we were living under “the rule of law.” The truth, however, is that the rule of law – the sovereignty of law – ended a couple of centuries ago. And by losing it, we lost a primary…

The state hates you.

In 1999, my friend Henry Lamb mentioned that he had been attending UN meetings. I thought it sounded intriguing and asked for details. After all, reading about an organization is one thing, actually attending its meetings is another. And because I was so…

It has become common to speak of Judeo-Christian principles, but that begs the question of precisely what those principles are. And so I searched for a clear set of them, and came up dry. I found statements of religious beliefs and I found lists of good habits…

Parenthood has been publicly trashed over the past half century. 20th century culture portrayed fathers as dolts and dedicated moms as second class women. These ideas, hammered endlessly and over decades, have left behind a trail of damaged lives. The big…

As far back as we can see in any detail, we find humans creating art. But art is an odd thing, in that people generally create it for internal (and thus hard-to-articulate) reasons, making clear, logical explanations difficult. Making it still harder has…

Bitcoin’s sharp drop looks scary, but Mežinskis shows it still sits on its long-term power curve.

I am not trying to insult libertarians; they’ve been right, or reasonably close to right, on a great many things, and for decades on end; that’s not trivial. Nonetheless, they could never get much moving in the world, while Bitcoiners, to use an old but fitting…

Avoid the temptation to take the government handouts.

(Originally published August 3, 2021.) There are times that not only try men’s souls, but warp them. Westerners of our generations never believed that mass manias could re-appear, but we’re living through one right now, and against my wishes I feel a need…

Whether or not they can express it clearly, or even face it directly, more or less all adults noticed that medicine was used as a weapon during the Covid fiasco. Today I’m going to address this, because we’ve been losing science and we’ve been losing medicine;…

As systems, Bitcoin’s culture and the status quo are different to the point of being mutually exclusive. More than that, their difference not only affects humans in different ways, but forms humans in different ways. And so the difference between Bitcoin…

(Originally published September 9, 2021.) It’s now clear that COVID-19 was created by scientists, on purpose. If you have any doubts, please see here and here. We had a paper trail months ago and we have a paved paper trail now. What remains in doubt is our…

(Originally published September 22, 2021. The delusional beliefs of the Biden time have since broken, but I’m leaving this up as reminder.) Western civilization is over. It may live on in some of us, but at the public level it has been replaced. Every major…

Yes, we’ve all experienced ridiculous and even malicious rules, but that’s not what I’m addressing in this post. Today my point is that rules by themselves – rules by their essence – are the opponents of righteousness. I know this strikes most people as absolutely…

Wealth only becomes a true legacy when it’s rooted in duty, family, and place, not just a big number on a balance sheet.
