There is a giant elephant in the room and we are all forced to address it as Bitcoiners. 

Before we argue about Bitcoin, scams, corruption, or “I told you so,” we should probably address this elephant, not by name, but by metaphore. 

The people shouting “I told you so,” “it’s a scam,” or “Bitcoin is corrupt” haven’t done their due diligence. Not on Bitcoin, and certainly not on money itself. Regardless of where Bitcoin came from, dismissing it without understanding the technology is intellectual laziness masquerading as certainty.

You cannot meaningfully critique an alternative if you don’t understand the system you already operate in.

People are wildly uneducated about their own money and how it’s created, who controls it, and what jurisdiction it actually lives in — yet feel qualified to critique an entirely different monetary system. They don’t have a hill to stand on, and they bring no relevance to the global conversation unfolding right now.

I’d wager many of these same voices are buried in debt, convinced they’re living the American Dream, unaware they’ve walked directly into a trap they don’t even recognize. Delusional at best. At worst, they actively harm those around them by spreading ignorance with confidence.

Before anyone makes a move. Stop and think.

Is the currency you operate in clean?

Do you actually know the history of fiat currency? Do you understand the creation of the Federal Reserve, its intent, and who was involved? And no don’t go there lightly. I’m confident you won’t love what you find.

Because once you do, the illusion breaks.

The fiat system is a Ponzi scheme, just institutionalized and socially accepted.

And if you were one of the people screaming for Bernie Madoff to rot in prison when that scandal broke, you might want to pause and look in the mirror. You are funding and participating in the same mechanisms that are just scaled, institutionalized, and socially accepted.

That doesn’t make you evil.
But it does make you complicit.

Ignorance doesn’t absolve participation. Naivety doesn’t clean your hands. 

The US dollar is not moral simply because it’s familiar

It is not innocent because it’s ubiquitous. It is not clean because it props up your lifestyle.

So let’s make proper comparisons.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. What we are watching now is not new. It’s the same playbook, dressed in modern language. Call it Bretton Woods 2.0 if you like. For all we know, this cycle has been run countless times before.

You can start educating yourself there. That’s just one thread of many.

Until then,  before you speak, maybe don’t. Because the very system robbing you of purchasing power, devaluing your labor, keeping you indebted and dependent, will do it again, and again, and again until assets and power are fully consolidated in their hands.

And yes, they want to do it with Bitcoin too.

Shocker.

You might be surprised. Those who have actually done the research are not. Power always attempts to capture what threatens it. That doesn’t disprove Bitcoin. It confirms its relevance.

Meanwhile, those who haven’t done the work, the lazy parrots of mainstream narratives, repeat whatever slogan is trending. Whether it’s fed to them by CNN, outrage culture, or the entertainment pipeline, they learn just enough to recite talking points, never enough to understand systems.

That isn’t awareness. That’s programming.

There are very few cures for that condition, and it certainly isn’t MD doctors or Big Pharma. Sometimes, it’s just a good old orange pill.

But if you’d rather keep your head buried in the sand, then go ahead. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

If the face of a degenerate financier is enough to make you shut down and refuse to look deeper, then you were never going to see behind the veil anyway. These figures are assets. Tools. Outrage triggers. Their job is to hijack your emotion and convert it into behavior. Fear, disgust, exit, submission.

Scandal exists to hijack emotion and to concert it into behavior.

And you fall for it. Every time.

Sell the bottom. Never buy. Do exactly what they want you to do.

I won’t even say his name. He doesn’t matter. He represents one of many, thousands, perhaps millions, compromised, perverse, and embedded in positions of power. They rule over you not just through money, but through the music you listen to, the movies you watch, the sports teams you worship, and the narratives you defend.

They know who they are.

You don’t because you refuse to educate yourself. You choose entertainment over understanding. You outsource thinking to screens, headlines, and outrage cycles.

So let’s be honest.

You don’t need to engage in perverse acts to be part of a perverse system. You feed it everywhere else in your life. With your attention. With your money. With your obedience.

Turn the TV back on. Get your daily programming. Accept your talking points. Take your orders for the day.

But don’t pretend you’re separate from it.

You are the compromised.
You are the enslaved.
You are the one clinging to a sinking fiat system.

And fiat isn’t just a currency.

It’s a term for everything fake you’ve agreed to live with.
