You really can't make this up—people are this gullible. Claims like "Epstein created Bitcoin" or "Bitcoin is down because of the Epstein files" are spreading like wildfire. Meanwhile, back in 2017... Hey Epstein, is it worth buying Bitcoin? Epstein: No. A lot of people wouldn't get rattled by Bitcoin's price swings and market drama if they truly understood what it is: a tool designed to destroy fiat money. It's not all rainbow charts and larps. Remember how divide-and-conquer works? Look at ISIS, Al Qaeda, Iran, Israel—we fund all sides. That's the playbook: divide, conquer, fractionate, and profit massively. It's working incredibly well. Once you see the ops, you recognize the pattern. They don't control Bitcoin's outcome, but wherever it goes, they try to compromise it. Knots vs. core—whatever emerges, they infiltrate. Yet Bitcoin keeps surviving. I've seen it all, made every mistake, been scammed by shit coins—and I'm still here. Bitcoin in self-custody is the only thing that lets you say, "F*ck you, I'm not funding those pedophiles.” Sure, others will centralize Bitcoin: ETFs, treasury companies, degeneracy, gambling, leverage. But understand this—once you get it, your money in those systems funds criminal, degenerate activities. If there's one thing we should all agree on, it's protecting our children. I have a bank account. I use fiat. But mentally, there's a psyop right now to convince you that holding Bitcoin in self-custody funds pedophilia, ISIS, Mossad ops—every accusation is a confession.We have a duty to help people see through this. Disinformation kills kids. Remember when people ridiculed Roger Ver for saying supporting Bitcoin kills children and babies? We laughed, but he got some things right. Get past the tribalism—Bitcoin Cash aside (I don't like it either)—why is he in prison now? Use critical thinking. All our energy should go into Bitcoin. Nothing else works like it. Altcoins/shitcoins get compromised far easier. This is all we've got. If you're discrediting Bitcoin at this stage, fine—but understand you're supporting far worse things. We ain't getting another shot. This is the most decentralized thing we have. It's not perfect, but we need to get smarter about psyops and nuance. Parts of the ecosystem can be compromised—we call it out, improve it, make bad actors explain themselves or leave. But the solution isn't another rule coin, fork, stablecoin, ETF, or "strategy." It's not tearing down the financial system (they'll just own Bitcoin and prop up their power). Are you going to be part of that? Take your energy out of it. Bitcoin in self-custody preserves and protects what matters. Don't let them distract you from your best shot—and our best shot—at a more prosperous, free future. Bitcoin, like gold, has layers of compromise in a network where the whole isn't compromised. Gold has paper derivatives, compromised miners, elite ownership propping up central banks. But do I hate gold in self-custody? No—I just find it hard to transport across borders, audit-proof, or use digitally without custodians. We're entering a commodity future as the dollar weakens. What becomes the unit of account, medium of exchange, store of value? Commodities are getting attention, but this will become a custody story: not enough gold/dollars/shares/bonds to back paper claims. Self-custody vs. custody—that's what Bitcoin solves at scale like nothing else. The commitment is sovereignty. Bitcoin's use case is being a sovereign individual: protect your kids, your community, share info to protect children. The system is rotten to the core. The best you can do is opt out, boycott, puke at it, and build something better on the side. Bitcoin is part of that story. We need to get off the rock, commit to truth. Some won't self-custody Bitcoin because they think Jeffrey created it—that's immoral if they lack the info. Reconstruct this so people understand. Not everyone will, the nuance is heavy, but we have to try. If I thought Bitcoin was created/funded to enable crimes against humanity, I'd walk. People can misuse it (like dollars), but the protocol is neutral. This is the best we've got. The system tries to corrupt everything—we have a duty as Bitcoiners to protect, preserve, call out, and engage. My strategy remains the same: Bitcoin self-custody and keep stacking.
