In one word: Incentives.
There are many reasons historically, people used to have children and often, many children.
1. Labour - many hands make light work
2. Legacy
3. Old age care plan
4. High testosterone levels
5. Absence of other entertainment/distraction
6. Low infant mortality
1. no longer needed (AI, robots, other basic tech like dishwashers and washing machines)
2. Wonderfully and Sadly with the internet people can leave a permanent mark or stain of themselves on this planet into eternity without having children.
3. The breakdown of the family plus care facilities make this redundant.
4. Need I say more. Easy times + toxic food + sedentary lifestyles drop testosterone levels to a fraction of historical norms.
5. Convenient distractions combined with low testosterone, need I say more.
6. Spares are no longer needed.
I’m sure many other points could be added here but I’m out of time.
Final thoughts, don’t try to convince others to have children. There is a process of natural selection at play here.
There is 1 thing every human on this planet has in common, our ancestors were survivors. This same comment will hold true, thousands of generations from now.

An article written for a young adult feeling nihilistic about his opportunity to enter the realestste market. It is Australian focused but it holds true globally I believe.
The Housing Crisis: A Story of Monetisation
Australia’s housing crisis isn’t simply about supply and demand, urban planning, or migration — those are surface-level symptoms of a deeper dynamic. At its core, it’s a monetisation problem.
For decades, real estate has absorbed the monetary energy that once flowed into sound money. In the absence of a reliable store of value — something that preserves purchasing power over time — people have been forced to use houses as a financial refuge. Homes stopped being shelter first and became savings accounts made of bricks.
This didn’t happen by accident. When the world moved off the gold standard in 1971, money became elastic — infinitely printable and unanchored from scarcity. As the currency supply expanded, people sought assets that could hold value better than cash. Property was familiar, tangible, and — crucially — limited in supply. The result was inevitable: monetary demand flooded into housing, distorting prices far beyond their fair utility value.
Before 1971, the average home cost around two times the median income. Today, with the median income at roughly $78,000, a median home should reasonably cost around $156,000. Yet the real figure sits closer to $849,000 — more than five times higher.
Now, it’s true that homes have grown larger and more functional over time. In the 1970s, the average house was about 100m²; by 2025, it’s around 245m² — a 2.5x increase. But while houses have grown, their purpose hasn’t multiplied at the same rate. Let’s be extremely generous and assume that today’s homes are twice as useful as those of the 1960s. That would suggest a fair median price of $312,000. Yet the actual median house price is still 2.7 times higher than that.
Somewhere within that 2.7x–5.5x gap lies the true monetary premium that has accrued to residential real estate — the inflated value attached to housing simply because it has been forced to perform one of money’s primary functions: acting as a store of value, something the Australian dollar has failed to do since 1971.
The Shift: From Real Estate to Real Stores of Value
Here’s the good news: houses are beginning to demonetise.
After decades of acting as a store of value, real estate is gradually returning to its rightful role — providing utility and shelter. I know this shift firsthand. For the past 30 years, I’ve used property as my own store of value. It made sense when there were few viable alternatives. But that equation is changing.
There are now forms of money that perform the monetary function far more efficiently — scarcer, more portable, more divisible, and immune to debasement. And I’m not alone in recognising this. Every week, I speak with others who have long treated property as their primary wealth anchor. Many are now rethinking that stance. Quietly, at the margins, capital is rotating.
The pattern is familiar: gradually, then suddenly.
Understanding Value Through a Longer Lens
To understand where we’re headed, it helps to zoom out.
For centuries, gold has served as the world’s most trusted store of value. In Australia, the relationship between gold and housing has been remarkably stable over time. The median Brisbane house price has hovered between 300 and 400 ounces of gold for more than two centuries. Despite fluctuations in nominal prices, that ratio has remained a reliable measure of relative value.
But that balance is shifting once again. Gold is re-monetising — regaining its role as a neutral, apolitical store of value. At today’s prices, 300 ounces of gold can now buy roughly one and a half houses, suggesting that gold is slightly ahead of housing in this new cycle.
Yet even gold is being outpaced. Bitcoin is harder money than gold. Its supply is not just finite — it’s fixed. It’s digitally scarce, globally transferable, and immune to manipulation. Gold still depends on custodians and physical logistics; Bitcoin removes that friction entirely.
When you zoom out, three truths become obvious:
1. Bitcoin is monetising faster than gold.
2. Gold is monetising faster than housing.
3. Housing is demonetising.
The world is quietly repricing what it means to store value.
A Realistic Goal for the Next Decade
So, what does this mean in practice?
It suggests a simple, grounded financial aim: accumulate the equivalent of one house’s fair utility value — between $156,000 and $312,000, depending on the standard of living you’re targeting — in sound money (Bitcoin or gold).
As housing continues to shed its monetary premium and Bitcoin (alongside gold) continues to absorb it, those two curves will intersect. Over the long term, the price of real estate — when measured in sound money — will fall.
Our measuring stick, fiat currency, is broken. So, while nominal house prices may continue to rise in dollars, their true value — measured in Bitcoin or gold — will decline. What looks like property appreciation on paper is often just monetary debasement in disguise.
If current trends hold, I expect that within the next decade, one Bitcoin will buy a good house.
Beyond the Numbers
Of course, this isn’t just an economic story — it’s a cultural and psychological one. For generations, Australians have been taught that property equals security. But true security doesn’t come from the walls we own; it comes from the stability of the money we measure them in.
As housing continues to shed its monetary premium and Bitcoin (alongside gold) continues to absorb it, the two curves will intersect. On a long enough timeline, the price of real estate — when measured in sound money — will fall.

2025-11-11 08:14:36 UTC

The Things I Wish I’d Been Taught in my Youth
From the perfect high-five to the hidden truths of money, the lessons I wish my family had shown me in my formative years. — skills and insights that would have saved years of fumbling, frustration, or misplaced faith in how the world works. Some are small, almost trivial tricks of coordination and craftsmanship. Others are profound truths about the systems that quietly shape our lives.
There are certain things you stumble across in life, often after decades of doing things less effectively and efficiently— and you can’t help but wonder: Why didn’t anyone teach me this earlier? Some are small, almost trivial lessons that make daily life smoother. Others are profound insights that would have shaped the way I understood the world and my place in it. Together, they form a kind of informal curriculum — lessons in awareness, efficiency, and respect for natural order — from the angle of a hammer swing to the arc of monetary history.
Here’s my list — a collection of skills and truths I wish to pass onto the next generation.
1. How to land a High-Five
It’s such a simple act — a symbol of celebration, connection, and camaraderie — yet how often do we miss the mark? Literally.
The secret? Don’t look at the hand. Look at the other person’s elbow.
That’s it. The physics and geometry of body movement take care of the rest. You’ll never miss again.
2. How to Use a Hammer Efficiently
When I first picked up a hammer, I thought it was about brute force. Grip tight, swing hard, hit nail.
Wrong.
The trick is in the motion — a relaxed underhand swing with a natural rotation, not the overhand smash you see in cartoons. The hammer’s weight and arc do the work. You guide it, you don’t fight it. It’s a little bit of physics and a lot of finesse — a quiet metaphor, perhaps, for many things in life.
3. The Shoelace Secret: The Surgeon’s Knot
For years, I tied and retied my shoelaces, cursing the moment they came undone. Then one day I learned about the surgeon’s knot — a simple double loop that stays tied like a double knot but unties like a single.
It’s elegant, efficient, and a tiny act of mastery over chaos. Once you learn it, you never go back.
4. How to Build a Fire That Feeds Itself
Most of us were taught the teepee or log-cabin fire — beautiful in theory but needy in practice. They burn bright, then fade, demanding constant tending.
Then there’s the upside-down fire method — the quiet genius of efficiency.
You start with the big logs at the bottom, smaller logs and then finally sticks and kindling layered on top. Think a miniature pyre, that fits neatly in your fireplace or pit. You light it from the top.
The fire burns downward slowly and steadily, feeding itself as it goes. No constant stoking, no frantic rearranging. Just patient, ordered combustion.
It’s an idea so counterintuitive and effective it almost feels like a secret.
5. The Great Lesson I Really Wish I’d Learned: How Money Actually Works
Here’s the truth that should be on every school curriculum but isn’t: any form of financial engineering that expands the monetary supply leads to higher prices.
Coin clipping, fiscal easing, lowering interest rates, quantitative easing, money printing — these are all different costumes for the same act. The only real question is where the inflation shows up. Sometimes it’s everywhere — food, fuel, rent, wages. Other times it hides in plain sight, in asset markets, inflating property, stocks, and collectibles.
Understanding this changes how you see the world. Inflation isn’t always a symptom of progress — sometimes it’s the quiet theft of value from those who hold money to those who create it.
In a truly open and functioning free market — a world of 8 billion people working in service of 8 billion people, as Jeff Booth so aptly put it — the natural state of things should be deflation.
As innovation and efficiency increase, the cost of goods and services should fall, not rise. That’s the reward of human ingenuity, specialisation and technological progress.
But when the monetary system is distorted — when we keep expanding the money supply to avoid short-term pain — we break the measuring stick itself. Prices no longer tell the truth. The signal is lost in the noise. And in that confusion, value quietly shifts from the many to the few.
6. The one vital lesson, I was lucky to learn in my youth: The Flow of Energy and the Power of Thought
The final lesson is harder to measure, but more foundational than all the rest: the way energy flows outward from each of us begins with the thoughts we choose to think.
Every belief, every quiet assumption, every repeated story we tell ourselves radiates energy — shaping the world around us in ways both subtle and profound. Our thoughts become words, our words become actions, and our actions build the conditions of our lives.
When we think with fear, resentment, or scarcity, that energy expands outward, colouring our choices and relationships. But when we choose thoughts rooted in curiosity, gratitude, and possibility, the world around us responds in kind.
It’s not mystical; it’s the physics of attention and intention. Energy follows focus. Where we place our mental light determines what grows.
Had I been taught that my inner dialogue was not just private chatter but the architect of my outer experience, I might have learned to tend my thoughts as carefully as any fire — to build from the top down, patiently, allowing clarity and calm to feed the flames of purpose beneath.
The Moral of the List
From the perfect high-five to the low maintenance fire, from the arc of the hammer swing to the flow of money — and finally, the integrity of thought that leads to the integrity of actions — these lessons share a single theme: alignment with the underlying mechanics of reality.
Whether physical, financial, or spiritual, systems have their own logic. When we understand that logic, we stop pushing against it and start moving with it.
If I could go back and teach my younger self one truth, it would be this:
The world runs on patterns — of motion, of value, of thought. Learn to see them, and life becomes not only easier, but infinitely richer - vitally potent and grounded in integrity.

Loved your post, children are wonderful at helping us detach from physical shit.
I remember when my son was 2 and I’d had a hammer out fixing something. I’d asked my eldest son (14yrs) to put the hammer away. I little while later from another room I hear this weird tapping sound so my curiosity got the better of me and I followed the noise to the kitchen. There in the kitchen was my 2yr old ‘fixing’ our brand new fridge with the hammer. 😂
That pock marked fridge has been a constant reminder to not become too attached to physical stuff.

I’ve always liked your reasoning and agree with your take however Core have majorly screwed up.
So whilst from a practical sense, maybe core are onto something, their ability and/or willingness to communicate their logic, stinks.
If for no other reason other than messaging and cultural it only makes sense to run knots.
I also think mechanic is onto something. Core’s determination to force through this highly contentious change REEKS of less than ‘for the greater good’ incentives. The way Core are behaving it is like ‘the overloads’ are holding Core Devs’ first born children hostage until the change is pushed through. My gut says this is beyond ego and something truly perverse lies at the root.

Ok prepare yourself for some abstract connections.
I’ve had marinating in the back of my mind, for several months this quote that I heard on a podcast, “millionaires don’t consult astrology but billionaires do”.
More recently I came across Webb’s The Great Taking… and it occurred to me that some entity has gone to decades worth of effort and expense to have legal changes made and aligned globally for the exclusive benefit of the global banking cartel. As part of that alignment, according to Webb and source documents all changes needed to be in place by the end of 2023. This was achieved. Which led me to wonder, what’s the hold up? The trap is set… everyone is in the cage (via the everything bubble and the Western mentality of leverage is king), so why not spring it?
So that led me to start wondering about timing and due to the above quote to look at Astrology as a possible clue to the timing.
As part of that enquiry I went to the Wikipedia page that says an astrological great year is: 25772 solar years… this number varies depending upon where you look. A great year being the time it takes to cycle through the 12 zodiac.
AI: “An astrological age, determined by the precession of the equinoxes, lasts approximately 2,160 years. This duration is derived from dividing the Great Year (approximately 25,920 years, the time it takes for the Earth's axis to complete one full wobble) by the twelve signs of the zodiac.”
The shorter period above: 25772/12 =2,147.667years. This number feels a little too close to when the Bitcoin halving cycle ends and the final Satoshi is mined into existence to be a coincidence. My thought being with numbers this big and cosmic alignments a decade or 2 are potentially irrelevant. Although, it looks like Christ might actually have been born 6-7years BC (again estimates vary between 2-8yrs). Christ coming into play because his birth being supposedly our year 0.
2025AD.
Leading me down an entirely new rabbit hole that draws on ideas I read about in Fingerprints of the Gods several decades ago. This book has some very interesting theories about Christ and other messiahs who seemed to appear at similar times, globally across many disconnected cultures, yet all appearing very similar in look and bringing great knowledge and wisdom with them.
So this led me to wonder if the Bitcoin halving is an astrological count down to a specific cosmic alignment that only comes into play approximately every 2147 years?

2025-08-15 00:48:34 UTC

Ok, as no further conversation has come back on this question… let me go so far out on the limb as to blow minds wide open to all possibilities…
What if the Bitcoin halving cycle is a count down to the next astrological age…
Perhaps not the ‘start’ of the age… maybe a midpoint?

You are clearly afraid of strong women.
The truth: strong, self confident, independent men attract and adore strong, self confident, independent women.
Only weak men need a weak woman they can dominate, to help them falsely feel more powerful.
Just as there is nothing more attractive for a woman than an intelligent, powerful, self confident and capable man so too there is nothing more attractive to a man (with all the above qualities) than finding their equal in a woman.
There is no greater reflection of how we feel about ourselves than those we choose to be intimate with. Choose wisely as you are forever outing yourself.

I’ve been letting this marinate for a few weeks now and I agree, it would definitely make sense from a ‘maximising potential reaping’ perspective to let liquidity run riot, massively pump the ‘everything bubble’ before the global rug pull.
Greed and FOMO will see normies, tradfi, crypto bros and even many Bitcoiners leverage to the hilt, which will in turn make sure the greatest possible amount of collateral, including Bitcoin, is custodied within the fiat system ready for the reaping.
I’m still looking for clues as to the timing.
I’ve decided the WEF quote, “You’ll own nothing, and be happy” has had a word redacted from it and actually reads, “you’ll own nothing, and we’ll be happy”
Other clues, they’ve been saying since 2009, that ‘next time, we won’t bail out the banks’ and there has been another clue as to the intentions. It’s alluding me at the moment… Will pop back to this thread when it comes to me.

I think you are missing the limitations of gold.
There are no prefect solutions and people who think Bitcoin is the future, think it possesses better trade offs than gold.
To directly address your criticisms
1. You are kind of correct and also wrong at the same time. Bitcoin is designed to be digital peer to peer cash. So if you had a $100 bill that you wanted to pay me with, I’m not particularly interested in whether that same $100 bill was used in an illicit transaction previously. Plus, the UTXOs history can be hard to follow through mixers, consolidation/splitting and through layer 2 mechanisms.
2. Bitcoin is no easier to lose than cash or gold. It requires user carelessness or stupidity to lose.
The main reason lots of Bitcoin have been ‘lost’ is because, in the early days, it was worthless and the people playing with this new toy did not value it as it cost them nothing to acquire. So these early holders often threw away or sold the laptops where their Bitcoin keys were stored.
I’d even suggest, the more valuable it becomes the harder it is to lose.
Happy to engage further in good faith if you have more questions.

I played it for my 14yo son… who thinks of Bitcoin only as an investment/savings vehicle and is continually talking about how he’ll use his Bitcoin to buy a car or a computer or some other trinket and finds it hard to understand why I’m so passionate about Bitcoin and spend so much of my time educating others about Bitcoin.
I think after listening to your keynote, he finally ‘gets’ it. Thank you 🙏

Brains trust question… what do you think the most useful or accurate way is for estimating/measuring the number of passionate Bitcoiners in the world. Maybe those that are running nodes… although I know many who consider themselves to be passionate Bitcoiners who are not yet running a node.

$300 million is pocket change on a good day for Musk. I imagine he gains and losses this much in his sleep each night depending upon market fluctuations. It’s all relative.

Only if you are naive enough to think the current market price of BTC equals the true value of BTC. By my calculations as of today, the current value of 1 BTC is approx 20 million USD. The market just hasn’t caught on yet. In the mean time I’ll keep stacking cheap Sats until everyone wakes up.

You have been muted for your ignorant hate speech.
The fight is not between the rich and the poor. The fight is between the producers and the looters/moochers.
Some producers are rich because they produced so much value for humanity
Some looters are rich because they stole so much value from humanity
Some moochers are rich because they connived so much value from humanity.
Many producers are middle class and poor as they added less value
Many looters are middle class/poor because they looted less
Many moochers are middle class/poor as they connived less.

The entry ticket is PoW or proof of value added… post something of value, here, and people will send you Sats because of the value you’ve contributed to them and to the system. Adding value is never out of reach unless your attitude makes it so.

I agree regarding it being both Strike or any intermediary including the custodian.
Yes the timing is tricky. We are acting as if it is imminent. But praying we’ve got a couple of years to unwind some stuff.
I wouldn’t let it stop you from living your life but I would be careful about how much you put up. If it is a small percentage of your overall stack then maybe…
I can’t help but wonder if all the ETFs, corporate and govt treasury BTC reserves etc have been allowed to happen to ensure a decent sized chunk of corn gets caught up in the tradfi blow up. If all the legal framework was in place by the end of 2023, the very sudden regulatory backflip and subsequent ETF approval might have been the last domino in place.
Imagine if we had gone into another “Great Depression” with BTC completely outside of the existing system. The protected class would still have collected heavily on all tradfi assets but they would have been completely without BTC which would have allowed BTC to stand up as a completely neutral form of money without counterparty risk.
Now, with say 10-20% completely captured within the system it is certainly enough for them to price manipulate it through a crisis and make it difficult to transact with in any meaningful market/value discovery kind of way.
Maybe gold for the short term and BTC for the other side???
Reading the Benjamin Roth’s diary provides lots of insights as to how bad things can get. He talks about realestste loosing 90% of its value and people who owned realestate outright demolishing buildings, including hotels so as not to have to pay property tax, which they were unable to pay because all the banks closed and thus their ‘passbook money’ was frozen. Back then tax was charged on the improvements (buildings) not the land. They couldn’t pay the taxes as nobody paid any rent. Nobody could not pay rent as there wasn’t even enough money for food. Over 30% of the people in his town were lining up for charity food. Those that were ‘employed’ in their own business, doctors, lawyers, shop keepers, tradespeople had virtually no customers. Often their few customers had no money to pay so a barter might be struck. It was nuts how low values dropped so BTC would be difficult if tradfi markets were dictating price. Could have value in a close knit circular economy (think Galt’s gulch) were a small productive community self sustaining could set prices amongst themselves.

All collateral will be forfeited by the “protected class”. That terminology is actually used in some of the legal documents.
So tread carefully. Jack Mallers new Strike loan might be ok but ONLY if Strike is debt free. If Strike rehypothocates your Bitcoin or any Bitcoin to back their subsequent loans (does not matter if customer collateral/assets are segregated or not) your Bitcoin used as collateral for your loan is wholly able to be taken, is how I understand it.

Currently simultaneously reading: “The Great Taking”, “The Great Depression: A Diary by Benjamin Roth” and “The Big Print”.
My take out of those 3 books overlayed on top of each other is simple:
Everything is in place for the next “Great Depression, more aptly dubbed “The Great Taking” …
1. The global velocity of money is almost at a stand still (VoM being, IMHO, the best measure of a healthy economy) meaning ‘they’ve’ broken all their toes and can no longer ‘kick the can’.
2. All the legal framework that is required, is now in place globally, to seize all assets that are not both: without encumbrances and securely self custodied.
3. These ‘improved’ legal frameworks, established globally in the past 2-3 decades, have been tested and legal precedent established post GFC.
4. The masses are cowered, divided and nihilistic as demonstrated via
A. Covid sheep response
B. attempting to have interesting conversations with friends, family, acquaintances, work colleagues, strangers about anything that is not in line with mainstream narrative.
C. Global marriage and birth rates
D. Global suicide rates.
Prepare accordingly: NFA
1. Gather self-custodied hard assets: Bitcoin, Gold. Not your keys, not your coins
2. Eradicate any debt and/or leveraged positions
3. Grow your own food
4. If you live in a city, have a fall back position
5. Grow your social capital… this means love and help thy family, friends and neighbours. Even the pre-coiners.
6. Learn to hunt, fish and forage … what wildlife is are plentiful where you reside?
7. Learn to be resourceful…
8. Reduce, reuse, up cycle…
9. Master your mind and find purpose… nothing will kill you faster than nihilism.

So excited for this Jack. I heard you say on your pod with Danny that you plan to isolate UTXOs by individual lender. This could be a profound game changer for Bitcoiners in jurisdictions where a change in ‘beneficial ownership’ (as supposedly happens when funds are pooled. Even if the funds are not rehypothecated) triggers a CGT event.

Thank you Guy! This is the best and most confronting information I’m yet to encounter, in my life!
Understanding the legal framework that has been systematically implemented in the past 20years that enables the “You’ll own nothing” part of the WEF narrative makes it so much more than a narrative but instead an imminent threat.
Prepare accordingly!!!

You are both correct and wrong all at the same time.
Like bitcoin, Bitcoin transactions represent absolute scarcity. Block space will fill up and transaction fees will increase long before the block reward is negligible.
At the moment nation states are scrambling to both attract and secure Bitcoin mining capacity… they are securing their ability to transact on the base layer.
These things take time… things set in motion today take time to manifest in the observable universe… like changing direction in a large ship… levers are pushed and pulled long before we see the ship starting to turn.
So, yes you are correct, there could be an incentive there from large bag holders but no you are incorrect as the mempool will be beyond capacity and transaction fees will increase to reflect a player’s desire to settle a transaction.
Thy enemy of thy enemy is thy friend. Bitcoin/Bitcoin is the enemy of the US dollar, USD is thy enemy of every other nation state on the planet. Why do you think we see BRICS forming and growing… has no one noticed, they are an alliance of enemies? (With a common enemy). Has anyone noticed, they have recently started settling international trade in BTC?

The transport, or lack there of might be a factor… people moved more.
If you add 10,000 steps into your day it’s hard not to stay lean or get leaner.
I’d place a small wager NYers in the 1930’s did more than 10,000 steps (6kms)/day without even trying.
My grandmother walked 6miles to and from school each way each day in the 1930’s.

Absolutely, I often use that as a technique in coaching people with goal setting in the affirmative. People will often say, “I don’t know what I want in x area of my life” … let’s say we are talking about love relationships, so I say, tell me about all the things you didn’t want in your previous relationships and then we flip each “don’t want” on its head to find their “wants”.
It’s fascinating how humans often have a blind spot for our desired outcomes but we are super clear, focused even, on our undesirable outcomes… yet we find ourselves bewildered/upset when we call in our undesirable outcomes.

So, I’ve come to see the world not as good vs evil, positive vs negative, light vs dark but instead as a balance between two essential energies. Yin AND Yang, creation AND destruction, growth AND decay, expansion AND contraction, preservation AND ruin…
The value of viewing the world from this lens is simple, it allows my energy to stay expansive. You see, fear moves us into contraction, understanding/acceptance keeps us in expansion. Fear is a powerful tool of manipulation but it truly is False Evidence Appearing Real.
I’ve also come to view everything around me as naturally leaning towards one energy or the other. For example, I view a hammer as a tool of creation, although it can be used for destruction, and a gun as a tool of ruin although it can be used for preservation.
Similarly, I view Fiat as a tool of ruin and Bitcoin as a tool of preservation. Ultimately, this brings me to a place of gratitude for fiat, for without the havoc it has wreaked, we may never have brought into existence its’ counter balance, Bitcoin.
