The most important event of 2020 is not what you think

I was asked by a friend- What was the biggest trends, and what surprised me most in 2020?

As one of my main interests in life is Bitcoin, I will tie my thoughts to Bitcoin for this.

Arguably the biggest trend this year is the face diaper. Different sizes and colors of face diapers. Different materials used for face diapers. Designer face diapers. An entire industry devoted to face diapers that didn’t exist a year ago. Yet here we are.

Face diapers are the new normal- but they shouldn’t be.

This face diaper thing is tied to the thing that surprised me the most- blind capitulation. I never could have believed the majority of the world population would blindly capitulate to a small group of humans the way most have done, and yet here we are. Not that this is new, it’s just at another level now. As you read this, you may be one of them. I will pray for you.

Capitulation to a small group of humans is the new normal- but it shouldn’t be.

For me personally, It seems that my situation is not the norm, at least from what I have observed. I’m doing remarkably better than I would have expected 11 months ago.

1. I feel physically great- maybe as good as I ever have.

2. I surf all the time- like I used to before I got old and fat. Can’t change old, but I’m no longer fat.

3. I’m as healthy as I’ve ever been thanks to my carnivore diet. This is directly related #1 & #2 above.

4. I still have my dignity- because I’ve resisted the face diaper.

5. I still don’t trust authority- so I still ignore stupid rules.

6. I still see stupidity, indoctrination, and evil everywhere- so that hasn’t changed other than to get worse.

So what?- you say.

Why should I care about your life?- you ask.

And I say you shouldn’t care, unless you want a shortcut to some stuff I learned along the way that can help improve your situation.

So, what happened in 2020, and how will that matter going forward?

With the virus hysteria, riots, political insanity, money printer go Brrrrr, MSM out of control (while trying “to” control), — do we really need more of what got us here?

“The great reset”, “Build it back better”- are these the things that will fix everything? It seems we’ve had enough of trying it “their” way, and I suggest there is an alternative.

I propose there is a much better way- and most people are completely missing it.

Rather than wait for “our leaders” to fix everything, the “folks” have taken it upon themselves to fix things (for themselves).

The root of all humanity’s ills lies in the control of money and power in the hands of a very small group of humans. Out of their edicts- all of humanity is controlled, enslaved, tortured, and killed.

Removing that control is the only answer. But putting it in the hands of other humans is not going to lead to any better outcomes. Only a free market money- chosen voluntarily, on the open market, and given value by each subsequent user as they subjectively value it at some level- can provide humanity the level playing field so desperately needed- to allow for the most freedom and liberty possible for all people.

There is a series of important events that happens every day, all over the world, 24/7/365

and here it is:

The most important metric for humanity this year, and going forward is this- Tick toc, next block.

That’s right, Bitcoin just kept going and continues to keep going. A new block was created approximately every 10 minutes as it has been- uninterrupted- since 2013*. This matters more than most will ever realize. I invite you to consider why.

*there was a minor network interruption in 2010 and again in 2013 that caused blocks to stop being produced. Both instances were resolved by a few key people involved at the time. No one was negatively affected, and no funds were lost as a result. Since then, the network has never stopped.

The significance of Bitcoin continuing to function after 12 years of operation, with no one (essentially) in charge, cannot be understated. This has never happened before. Certainly, that should count for something, no?

Well, it does to those who understand the significance. Consider a few firsts.

There has never been an autonomous network for money that:

1. anyone can participate in without permission

2. treats everyone by the same rules regardless of wealth or status

3. cannot be changed by any 1 person, group, or government,

4. allows for the storage and transfer of our most valuable and scarce resource (our time), without loss or degradation, and…

5. is a system that can a be trusted implicitly.

I can imagine many thinking, so what? Why is a network with such characteristics important? Good question to ask, and the reason I wrote what you are currently reading.

Hard money improves the human condition.

Humans have for thousands of years, attempted to improve their lives by trying to reduce or eliminate their current or future uneasiness. If you think about it yourself, you will find that you too, attempt to remove current or future uneasiness a thousand times per day. From the act of shifting in your chair, to that of saving money for retirement. Both are an attempt to remove current or future uneasiness.

Again, what’s this Bitcoin network thing got to do with all this?

The answer lies in the properties of money, and it’s use as a tool for humanity.

We strive in our lives, to improve our efficiencies, and to produce results that improve our experiences in this world. It is in our human nature to look for faster, better, and cheaper ways to get what we want, so we can use the time saved, to get other things just outside of our current reach. It is our human nature, pulling us towards a better experience, and more of what makes life worth living- security, relationships, growth, and value; including physical, psychological, social, and spiritual value- that gives us the most pleasure out of life.

This natural desire to grow is facilitated by an invention called money that humans have been using in various forms for thousands of years. This thing called money has certain properties that make it work well, and others that could inhibit its usefulness. Listed simply they are- scarcity, divisibility, portability, fungibility, & verifiability. Of all monies invented or tried, only 1 has these properties in their best form, and that is Bitcoin. All other forms of money pale in comparison.

Because money is the most important invention humans have ever created (I contend it was actually uncovered as a 1st principle of how to live on this earth), and Bitcoin is the best iteration of money, I declare that Bitcoin is the most important invention humans have ever “uncovered”. It is a tuning fork, allowing humans to tap into the natural frequency of this earth- and us humans who inhabit it.

When honest hard money is available for all people to use, natural incentives change. Even the incentives of those who would wish you harm, are changed forever when the only money to work with is not inflatable, not confiscatable, and not controlled by a small group- that then has control over the monopoly on violence because of their control of money.

When there is a finite amount to use, everyone becomes less wasteful. Incentives to cheat bear a higher cost if caught. When no new money can be created by a few in charge, they can only get more of it by providing value to another who has some. If it can’t be stolen, printed, or inflated, money becomes the tool it was always meant to be, a place where everyone equally, can store their productivity until they decide to re-release it. It profoundly changes actions and incentives in ways most can’t fathom.

In a nutshell, Bitcoin is here to fix the world.

It’s always been here. This universal force of nature that allows humans to coordinate, cooperate, grow, and prosper, is now in the newest and best form that humans have ever known. We are watching in real time, humanity adopt a free market money that no group or individual controls. The personal freedom and liberty that is available as a result will be monumental in its effects.

Anyone still alive 20 years from now will be able to say they lived in 1 of the most important times in human history- the time when humanity took back its freedom and liberty from a class of human parasites that have coopted it for much too long.

We, (the individual) win, when everyone has access to a money that can efficiently and effectively, store their productivity until they need it- without fear of theft or debasement.

This is Bitcoin, and it really matters- more than almost anything else in your life.

If you know it, you will be among the winners.

If not, you will be among the regretters.

Good luck.

Pay attention.

And get some Bitcoin before it’s too late.
