They're carefully and not-so carefully crafted side-shows that are put in our way to distract us and extract from us. They’re disasters to be sure, but they’re all just extensions of the most destructive source of conflict that there has ever been.

Monetary inflation.

It’s not even close. Inflation is THE war. The ultimate war. Your one, true, enemy is inflation and whether we know we're fighting or not, the enemy is winning. People everywhere and anywhere are in some huge trouble. Even people that would tell you they’re winning, are losing – and have been.

Fighting these side-show battles is totally pointless. Fighting each other is pointless. It is inflation that must be defeated.

Inflation is the theft of the value that is in money. It's an exponential problem for money that has been building slowly and surely for decades. It's a pressurized system with the needle on the gauge deep into the red. We are now about to feel the acceleration, the compounding and the magnitude of this pressure release like never, ever before.

You want to be mad at something? This is it. We are again face to face with this force that, this time, is going to put such a crushing weight on our existence that it will make us, as a civilization, lose all remaining trust in each other and question our reality.

At this point it has become way more than just an economic problem. It's a societal-fabric problem.

The kind of future we want to find ourselves in is accelerating away from us. Disappearing over the horizon as we look around in the darkness, wondering what are even the right questions.

Inflation is the ultimate enemy because it is now one with our money. It wasn't always this way but for some time now our money has been thoroughly infected by this inflation sickness and now there is no separating the two. It can’t be healed. It can't be removed.

What was once a predictable two-way avenue of economics has become predictable in the wrong direction – both lanes going towards monetary inflation. A place we never wanted to visit, and now we’re learning we're trapped there.

How could it have possibly gone so wrong and for so long? How is it possible people are so asleep? Why would money not work? Who is responsible? What can be done?

The only narrow, potential path out of this mess, the only way a light can begin to flicker inside this dark tunnel is to first find out why this happened. To think clearly about the "what" and the "how". Not about "who". What the hell is this mess and why are we here?

As sure as one discovers what is actually happening, the solution will reveal itself. Knowing the problem is climbing the mountain. Knowing the solution is the view.

There is no path to understanding inflation, or money, that does not first go through a foundational understanding of energy. The capacity to be power and perform work. Yes, that energy.

But a characteristic of energy that rises above most of it's others when it comes to money, is that energy is natural. It's real. It is of the physical world. The same meat-space we inhabit. But more importantly, it is not a creation of man. And it never will be.

Money is simply meant to be proof that there is a specific amount of energy. Having the money means having that energy. The relationship between the two is fundamental. It must be. It is where money derives its meaning and utility. And now it’s falling apart.

Money is one half of every single trade or transaction for any good or service since the beginning of time. It's the absolute ultimate product. It’s an endlessly fascinating innovation because it's capable of storing energy as the representation of physical value of any kind.

That’s value we can identify to be real in our physical world. As a seller of a good or service, you naturally want to receive energy that you see as at least equivalent to that of the thing you're selling.

With that in mind, it's not at all difficult to see that our energy is our survival.

Storing our energy so that it can be used at any time in the future is the purpose of money. That’s it. We need to trust that money is going to do it. To hold the energy. We shouldn’t use it if it doesn’t do that. It shouldn't be money if it doesn't do that.

Humans knew this a long time ago and it went fairly well for some time. Instinctive as this is, you need to stop and allow yourself just a moment now to look again. You see something’s wrong. Really wrong. And getting more wrong with each passing day.

The money hasn’t been trading for the quantity of energy it did in the past. That’s weird because energy itself doesn’t expire or degrade or vanish.

What’s going on here?

Our energy is leaking out somewhere. Money is broken. Survival is growing more difficult. That sensation is the pain setting in.

Inflation is the unassuming name of a nasty trick that produces fake money. It's a constant and very, very quiet occurance.

The results of this trick are normally experienced as high prices, which is especially hard when you're the one spending the money. While that's a real issue, it misses the really bad part...

...the part when you're the receiver of the money.

And that is to say, fake money is fake energy. Actually it's a separation of money from its energy. But the trick was played when the currency, the stuff we pass around to each other in the transactions, abstracted the money away.

We see the currency land in our account and our wallet but some of that energy went somewhere else.

For most of history the money was simultaneously the currency. Think gold. Later, currency became a token, redeemable for the money. Think the gold-backed dollar… the Bretton Woods dollar. And finally, today, we have the ultimate trick. Plain old, un-backed currency. Think the fiat dollar… the 1971 Nixon dollar.

Fiat. This kind of currency is nothing more than a promise that it can be valued as money. A promise. Trust. No longer bound to the reality of energy or anything physical. But nothing less than a total tragedy. It cannot be overstated.

The introduction of fiat money is the single greatest moment of unbound stupidity the world has ever seen. It’s the tragedy that opened the door to our real nightmare. Inflation. It's when the currency can be multiplied, detached from opportunity cost.

Piles of it without any intrinsic ties to energy. Without real value.

If you know just a little bit of physics you know fake energy is completely impossible. An absurd idea really. Meaning you simply can’t create energy. Meanwhile in the minds of nearly everyone in the world, inflation just is. Everyone has heard the word.

Occasionally we see it when it's defined as rising prices but without question it has achieved complete control over us at all times. Not just when you’re buying stuff. When you don’t think of money as your energy, or lack of it, you’re falling for the big lie. It’s why everyone is losing.

It turns out fake energy kills us, slowly.

Honest work, determination, discipline, saving – none of them, not even all of them, will rescue us from the immense gravitational force of inflation. Our latest tools to fight it like real estate and tech stocks grow less effective at storing energy each passing day.

When people get more desperate they’ll even try fighting with the worst tools we have like meme-stocks, sports-betting, art, lottery tickets and crypto where pure gambling loss will likely take your energy faster than the inflation will.

If and when it gets bad enough, trading currency for nearly any object that's not the currency becomes something to consider. Some will think they can just skip all the fighting and struggle of this war and sit in short term bonds, savings accounts and money markets.

But inflation is built to take from them too.

It just doesn’t matter. Even if you’re able to have some success using one of those better tools like real estate, you eventually discover inflation has control over your tools. And those making the tools.

You discover this garbage money is built and operated to quietly drain some energy, or value, from anything and everything that money touches. It's a massive weight sitting on your head, on your chest and shackled to your legs.

It's far more than a trick, really. More than a weapon. It is the whole war itself. It has you like it has all of us.

After you've noticed inflation is killing you, you eventually find it isn’t some force of nature that comes and goes. It’s always there working in the background because it has creators and supporters.

The ones that manage it and benefit from it. They are few but they are powerful. They are the money masters and the government. They guard inflation while using it to steal the energy of the money.

In short, they are where this missing energy goes. The very energy that used to be in the money that’s sitting in your pocket now.

Inflation steals energy from these money masters' and government guards' money just the same that it does everyone else’s. However, they’re in position to actually create the currency. The stuff everyone else sees as money.

They're the first handlers of such vast amounts of newly minted money – that is, the first to spend it. That gives them the ability to harvest huge amounts of monetary energy before it passes into the rest of society as lowly currency.

That’s before only its second transaction, before it’s supposed buying power will be felt by the rest of the participants in the economy. By people like you. It’s fake energy but for that brief instant it’s buying power is real.

Then it’s gone for good and the next thing, or actually, the only thing you’ll notice is prices of stuff you need are headed up. The money you currently have and all the money you have yet to earn just lost buying power. Again… that's all the future dollars as well.

The denominator in the money equation just went up. You’ve just been robbed. If this idea is new to you, you need to stop and let that sink in for a while. This is why you're cornered.

Its new currency that wasn’t there a moment ago – from nothing more than the click of a button. Energy that was never there is suddenly here. Or so it would seem.

Whenever new debt is created we can think of it as money printing. But here’s the thing, the nastiness of the inflation depends what the debt is being used to buy. Some debt builds and buys houses, transportation infrastructure, agriculture businesses.

The list goes on.

This is useful debt. Not a big problem in terms of inflation because such things have shown to preserve energy. There’s real utility value. Then there’s government debt that buys wasteful stuff. Like paying interest on older debt. These are things that just consume your energy with effectively no return. No productivity. No utility value. Sure there’s others like military conflicts but when we’re talking inflation, debt to pay interest is by far the worst. The government has done this and continues to do this to such an extent that you don’t need to even consider anything else.

When we have such a completely insane practice putting us into an economic nose dive, it never hurts to ask “why”. Why are they doing this? It’s not some accident is it? No, quite the opposite. It’s actually their only way of avoiding a outright default on their existing mountain of debt. They can’t afford the payments. Simple as that.

So what’s the play? You guessed it – inflation. To make a somewhat long story short, they’ll use inflation to reduce the value of the debt that has yet to be paid back. More dollars custom made for paying for the debt. Or to just roll it. You know, interest-only payments. It's all the same. It can happen when the debt is denominated in the same currency as the one the government can create. So convenient.

There will be ever-more units of currency coming in – remember that’s because of inflation – yet the quantity of currency units that make up the debt remains the same. That’s debt being inflated way. All because some money master clicked some buttons in a bank spreadsheet. No energy input involved. Yeah, technically it can close out a debt which is effectively removing money from the system. But as we’ll discuss, it messes EVERYTHING else up along the way. Badly.

An instinctive human reaction to such a phenomenon ought to be terror and anger. Or at least anger. But vast segments of society have been tricked into running to answer the call of inflation. And by running, you need to think treadmill, or hamster wheel.

A race for more – always more – never enough. More stuff, more productivity, more growth, more borrowing, more leverage, more entitlements. More currency. Not to save, but to get rid of as quickly as you can.

Remember the thing about the buying power only really working for those that get their hands on the money first? That’s why. It can be that fast of a momentum shift. Confidence in the money continues its fall to zero and nobody knows what anything is worth.

Over time it will become apparent to many of the affected that their only move, if they're lucky, is to become one of those that can attempt to draft off of the power of inflation. It’s a dark path. Part of the scheme that’s run by inflation and its supporters.

They convince society to enlist in that exhaustive race for more. Then society works to convince itself. But in attempting to leverage inflation you become your own enemy and by using your hamster wheel you contribute to the overwhelming force you're seeking relief from.

The same force you may or may not have noticed was already draining the energy from your money.

It begins and ends with the government because the government is the monetary and fiscal authority. It creates the currency but also taxes and spends money on behalf of the people it is supposed to be representing. That's a lot of money.

When you recall the currency has been reduced to nothing but a promise to hold value... by the very group that creates it and spends it... you should be able to see this movie does not have a happy ending. But let's see just how big a grift this whole thing is.

Yes, that’s right, the government says “We want more money to spend”. The money masters, in this case, central banks, say “Great, we’ll print some up and sell it to you.” This act is what money masters call buying government bonds. Essentially the same as a loan.

Nothing strange there, right? Banks will sell some of that newly printed money to you too. A loan for your house, or car, or credit card. Happens all the time.

On one hand, you will either pay back your loan or you default and probably go into bankruptcy where your counterparty takes a haircut. Either way the energy you got to use by way of that loan is getting put back into the system. No fake energy there.

The government, on the other hand, will pay back its loan with its tax revenue which, unironiqly, is also our money. See, when the government sells you their debt, what you're supposedly buying is a share of their future tax revenues plus a coupon.

But… and this is where the tricks get really dirty… the government can pay its older loan using a new loan made up of another batch of newly printed money. This is that practice of inflating the debt away mentioned earlier. So what you've really bought in that bond is a share of the government's ability to – that's right – issue more debt. You’re buying the idea that debt is money. That debt is energy.

Now you've heard of paying one credit card off with another credit card. It's similar except with the government's second credit card, when all the dust settles, is actually the energy, or value, from all the currency that ALREADY exists.

So take a close look at what just happened there when the government made their repayment. The total amount of currency in circulation just went up, only to pay the interest – yes, just the interest – on the first loan. The name of this scenario is hyperinflation. There are no metaphors that can capture what a catastrophe this is. Just understand that when this starts it doesn’t end until the currency is completely destroyed. Society tends to fall apart right before that though. By the way, the grim hyperinflation reaper has started tapping on our door. 

Remember interest is the way energy gets put back into the system. But nothing new was created by the government. They’ve only paid on the interest – so nothing of value was produced. What they got though, was your energy. Without your permission. Your energy has been inflated away. The only release for the pressure of this unbalanced “interest only” energy equation is… that’s right, higher prices. Every time. Yeah it’s true, higher prices technically balance the energy debt associated with the initial loan. At least until the moneymasters and government have the chance to use the newly minted money. But pay attention now – the higher prices that eventually work their way to you are for the SAME STUFF. You lost. They won. And they get that energy without even so much as calling it a tax to go along with all of your other actual taxes they’re still collecting.

Are you getting it now? You work for your energy. They steal to get theirs.

Just think of the misdirection and lying about the fact that such a phenomenon is even happening in the first place. But here we are with a whole lot of new currency that doesn’t go away.

It leaks into the economy through central banks, into commercial banks and other types of financial companies. Then it emerges as more loans to businesses and individuals. A whole lot of buying power pulled from the future into today. As for what the government buys, besides its interest payments? The most expensive, non-productive, inefficient stuff they can find. It's what they're great at.

So that’s it. That’s the cycle. For the money masters and government, inflation is a thing of beauty.

What we have at this point is nothing more than a sad supply and demand story. Here’s where the pain of inflation makes itself known. All that extra money moving into the economy increases demand while the supply is unchanged because nothing new was created or produced.

All the same stuff, just at higher prices. Dreaded, nasty, demoralizing higher prices. Put another way, all the money uniformly lost some of its energy because it can’t purchase as much as it did before all this happened.

And there it is. Inflation. Not here to kill you off, actually. But rather take from you slowly and steadily while you unknowingly struggle against it's headwinds, telling yourself and everyone you know that you just need to work a little harder, or smarter... or whatever.

It’s ironic that inflation creates money, which in turn destroys value and distorts energy. But it's a hopeless saga when you see that the money masters and government guards are creating inflation on purpose. Using it and protecting it.

And hiding it from you so that you don’t notice it. So that you don’t try to stop it. So that you follow all the rules and actually work harder. Because it's that which keeps their whole debt system going where they get to steal from the entire economy. To steal your energy.

The money masters and government guards can be stopped or removed individually. They are easily replaced because their task has gotten so easy over time – convince the people some inflation is okay because it's inevitable.

Don't worry, we have it under control, they say. In fact, we even know it should be set to 2%, they say. They make growth the goal. Making growth the goal of an economy is the flywheel that powers this engine of theft.

It seems so normal to need more, to want more, to make more and to get more. The scam gets easier for the money masters and government guards to run because the people now model this system to each other. It's ingrained.

It would be a different story if this was just an issue within one country. But inflation and its allies even figured out how to capture the energy from the money of other countries all around the world.

Money masters and government guards were able to convince, and later, force the world to accept their paper money in exchange for real, valuable things. Like oil. And labor.

They said you can trust the paper currency. Many people just believed it. Many others didn’t even understand there was a problem to begin with. And the rest found the guards too powerful to fight back. By now everyone senses there's nothing backing the currency.

So what the people are implicitly trusting is the government's capacity to rip-off the rest of the world just a little better than they do us here at home. That's not to say the rest of the world doesn't know what's going on here.

But it reveals the reason for every military war, armed conflict, covert action, coup and economic sanction. If you don't let us export our inflation to you so that we can steal energy from your country, we will just come over and in one way or another blow your ass up.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you sell oil you're going to do it in our currency, not your own. What do you think we have the world's most expensive and powerful military for?

All these wars, conflicts, covert toppling of governments, weapons-manufacturing, counter-terrorism, sanctions... all of it. It's about the money. It's about exporting our inflation.

After it infects the money here at home, we exchange it for valuable stuff over there across the ocean. And then everywhere. The money masters get the real energy, the most valuable stuff there is, while the world gets paper money that consistently loses its energy.

They managed to export inflation to those other places while in the place that issues the paper money they disguise it's horrendous effects by selling us the cheap, poor quality stuff from those other countries.

That means a whole lot of the stuff we end up buying can keep lower prices while the government gets to track it saying "Look, low inflation!".

A truly sinister and effective strategy that, no matter where you are, boils down to this – if you hold fiat currency you’re being stolen from.

Many objects through time have been used as money, each better one replacing the last. All attempting to do the job of storing the energy of the people. Most facing the challenges of inflation along their journey.

Gold was the latest chance people had at beating the enemy. Gold fought well – the best the world had yet seen – but it just wasn't up to the fight. Money masters exposed gold’s portability and divisibility weaknesses by creating paper currency... our hopeless fiat money.

They also manipulated gold’s supply which warped its value even more. So many more paper claims were made on the gold than there was actual redeemable gold. Then the difficulty in taking custody of physical gold and securing it was the knock-out punch.

Nobody knew what amount anyone else really had so nobody was to be trusted. Even if you did manage to take custody, you had to ask, "is it real gold?". Anyone you would want to trade it to certainly would. And finding that out isn’t free.

So despite being the very best substance at storing energy up to that point, its role as money has come and gone. In the face of digital technology and the corrupting forces like the government and the money masters, it never really had a shot.

Their goal was to remove trust from gold’s equation and they were successful. Gold is now useless in our fight.

So much more damage has been done since gold has been pushed out of the way. This is the period where inflation has been able to systematically entrench itself. Those with little money are physically struggling to survive.

Those that actually have some amount of money are discovering how much they’ve actually been ripped-off by exchanging their life’s work for the paper money.

Government guards know they can keep stealing energy through inflation as long as they can convince people who and what is to blame for the damage. They are very, very good at this. So evil they've convinced you to vote for it while telling you you've voted against it.

So evil that most government guards don’t know they are the enemy. The extent of the damage becomes clearer when you realize they've convinced society to argue with itself about what amount of inflation would be okay. Think about that... about WHAT AMOUNT would be okay.

And so many people claiming to be economic experts have completely fallen for it, arguing about 2% or 3%. With NOBODY saying zero percent. Or better yet negative percent, which we can just call deflation.

Even when you manage to get some amount of money, no matter how great, how little, or where it is, the inflation enemy and its allies know how to take that energy. And that energy never comes back to your money.

Yes, it means they get some energy from all the existing money today AND the from money yet to be created. It compounds against you. Day after day. Year after year. Sure, you may earn more money by working harder. Or "smarter". But what did you really earn?

You've earned weaker money while being told about the nominal increase. You’re conditioned to think your raise is a result of being some kind of great worker. If you've heard this then you've been sold the bill of goods too.

Or just as bad, you're told you haven’t earned your raise this time for some reason or another. Meanwhile, the wholesale drain on your money’s value never misses a beat.

And then money gets weaker still while the next group of money masters and government guards are asking for your support – so they get their turn at the money printer. And we all sink deeper into the dark cave of inflation.

This idiotic government practice of paying interest only on existing debt with new borrowing has already sealed the fate of our fiat system. Each time the moneymasters attempt any sort of borrowing, bailout or capital raise they’re working with weaker money. Our inflated fiat money. And what does that mean? It means each and every time they do those operations it has to be larger. And not by just a little bit.

Its EXPONENTIAL. Get used to that term exponential.

Try to visualize what it means. Because it’s how we go from an economy that’s challenging and stressful to one that’s unhinged, deformed and unrecognizable. How people will react to that will take this disaster and make it something much worse.

With certainty we can know the ultimate end is the death of this currency system. The death spiral, into which you only accelerate. There is no fixing it. There's no slowing down. This kind of train wreck goes from slow motion to hyper fast-forward.

The only question now that's worth anyone's time is how do we leave the dying fiat system before we go down with the ship?

How can it be? Can’t anything be done? The answer is yes, but in a way which makes the whole thing even more depressing. The first part of the answer is to pay off the existing government debt and stop issuing new government debt.

As a prerequisite, the other part is to suffer the mother of all devaluations on EVERYTHING when all the pretend energy that has been teleported from the future is finally vaporized.

So much of what seems to hold monetary value is just erased. Everything gets judged against its utility value, relative to whatever is left of a monetary system. Or whatever we turn to in replacement of that system.

This is talking about the sum of printed money that has accumulated since the practice has been adopted. In effect, this is a spontaneous flip onto a system of hard money. An end to the debasement of the currency. Yep. That’s all. So simple.

Such a tight little package of instructions for something that has absolutely no shot at ever occurring.

We are most certainly past the fiat money event horizon. Tax increases can't make a dent in this problem now. Forget about productivity increases. The government needs new debt to pay interest on the old debt. It's their only play. And this is what they'll do. There's no question. There's also no confession.

And confuse you they will because what they're actually going to do is go out even further into the future and get energy to bring back to today. They're going to monetize the government's mountains of debt and deficit spending by buying bonds – bonds of all kinds.

Bonds like there’s no tomorrow.

All kinds of weird derivatives and collateralized trash. You name it, they're buying it. That means new money is going to be printed. And not just some typical, run-of-the mill printing... it will be the kind that is going to melt people's faces.

It will be bond purchases galore. That will allow, or rather force interest rates to fall through the floor. And before you know it, we're getting smashed by even stronger waves of inflation. Then waves of deflation, recession, depression and pain.

The cycles just repeat. Only faster and stronger. But on the other side of a total deleveraging catastrophe like this, is a kind of relief that is so unknown, so exotic, that it will not be believed. It’s called truth. Sit with that a moment….

Truth returning to the place it has been absent from for at least 100 years. Our money. Everyone’s money, everywhere. It’s been missing from the money which means it’s been missing in every single thing that money touches.

We would spend eternity going around trying to band-aid every different problem that fiat money has created. It’s what we have been doing for decades, actually. It is precisely how we are losing. Just think of the lies, the fighting. We will surely destroy ourselves first.

We're well down the path with that.

Instead we could go straight to the head of the beast and address all of it at once by defeating inflation. By winning the war against inflation. It's the only war that matters.

When thoughts finally turn to how this can be done, the hardest part is already behind you. Waking up. Seeing the mess through the fog. Finding the beginning of the end of the maze. Understanding who the enemy really is. And who it isn’t.

Once you’re able to get above the game board and allow yourself to see the war from the widest perspective, your mind exits the current system just long enough to see how all the fatal flaws of money are neatly connected to a one terrible plan.

The plan which is being conducted by those money masters and government guards. Nothing is accidental. Remember that – NOTHING is accidental. Nothing is outside of their control. Nothing is natural. And you finally, really know that we’re losing because of the money.

All of it. Every bit of it, because of the bad money.

At about the same time, you inevitably start to notice something else. A solution. You don't know if or how much of a solution it is, but it feels so different because it feels right. That very moment is when you get your first sense of relief. Or that it is real.

This endless journey downward starts to level out and then you feel the path tilting up. You are finally feeling the potential in hard money. Sound money. Deflationary money. They’re names for what is a very, very old idea. Known to some, and not at all to most.

The idea that money is your energy and energy is your survival. But it’s a more recent development in this thinking which has emerged as the way we win this terrible war. The best money the world has ever known has been born. It’s Bitcoin.

Once you've climbed the mountain of understanding this most terrible problem we face, the breathtaking view you'll have... is of Bitcoin.

Its time. It's time to call bullshit – on every fucking thing.

What is ahead of you now is a transformation from a life in fiat money to one of hard money. It's an immense transition because it's about everything that money touches. It is a return to truth. A return to meaning.

You will eventually find that there is nothing about you which it will not affect. And ultimately improve.

You'll know how a link between the physical world and the digital world, known as Proof of Work, combines with the rule of a fixed supply to become the invention of a digital scarcity.

An invention so unbelievably significant that it is the only true scarcity in the known universe.

A scarcity you can move at the speed of light. The ultimate property. The ultimate method to store your energy. There will never, ever be a better application for such a discovery than to be money. And you'll know why there can only be one true money.

You will learn what it is to have a deflationary money. How it is that deflationary money is natural – and how inflationary is not. How it is that such a money means the return of quality – the honesty and beauty of quality. In everything.

You're living in a time that will see the trajectory of societies reflect upwards. It’s everyone in society gaining the ability to change course, upwards.

Even those that were rigging the fiat system join in the rise of a hard money system – the difference is their power to control you and steal your energy though inflation is over. They, like anyone else, can only succeed by delivering quality.

What is quality? You’ll find out when you perform work for someone and trade with people. No matter what the thing is, they will demand nothing less. And neither will you. The formula is that simple.

You'll be reminded that quality is an ancient idea. Ancient in the good way. It’s so natural. It’s intuitive. It's part of all of us because quality is inextricably linked to our survival.

It's just that it has been wrecked for so long by the horrendous idea that energy can flow indefinitely from the future to today. The horrendous idea that inflation can be so carefully controlled such that it appears to be magic.

No. It can't. You'll see it is hard money and the quality it produces that has a magical effect on you.

Sometime during your journey of learning and realization, you will look up and find you're no longer locked in the hand-to-hand combat of this terrible monetary inflation war. You'll see the monster more clearly than you ever have before, yet you notice it drifting away from you.

The war will not yet be over but there will emerge in you a feeling of peace that will move you in a way you never knew possible. Then you'll understand that you're replacing the conflict of inflation with something else... the peace from truth.

Truth will flow into your life. A trickle at first, and then from every direction.

Ultimately, you will see Bitcoin is a discovery with the same significance as the wheel. Or fire. It's an emergent protocol that is governed by mathematics, in harmony with laws of nature. Never to be re-invented.

You will finally know what kind of beautiful world, what kind of beautiful life, is possible... when money has rules without rulers.

So we've been to the mountaintop. We've seen the view. But in case it hasn't been made clear enough yet, this inflationary system does not get fixed. It does not go back together. So it needs to be said that voting for political candidates will not help you. Do NOT do it.

You may feel some are good and others bad, but none of them are there to work for you. They are lying to you. It's been happening for a century. They're all here to TAKE from you – and not just with taxes. Taxes are just the distraction while they ride the wave of inflation.

Taxes are just the thing they can cut for you every once in a while to keep you quiet, or even convince you to love them. All while they're rolling up huge payouts coming from their inflation machine. Hiding in plain sight.

They're working for groups of people that are very afraid of the future. It's these groups who are really the ones who want to control you. To restrict your choices. To limit your capabilities. Keeping you in a box and closing off the exits.

Why? Because they're afraid they don't have the strength to live in a world that trades on quality. And they know you do. The politicians and these private friends of theirs want you trapped in their world of fear. Campaigns, bribes, voting and elections are how they do it.

Your vote doesn't have a meaningful impact on anything. Governments want you to feel good about having voted because they know all the workarounds and have no trouble coming up with new ones. You're only fooling yourself and prolonging your pain.

But don't the politicians compete with each other? Yeah, they'd just love for you to think that.

Yes, one of them is going to win any given election. But here's what's certain. You're going to lose. Everytime. In the end, all they're running for is the power to control you and take your money. Political parties win and lose. But so far, government is undefeated.

So then what do you do about politics? The answer is… nothing. Their political system is going to be destroyed under its own weight. First gradually, and then completely, at the hands of a hard money that cannot be debased.

Hard money is the most effective, efficient and beneficial way you take back control over your energy. While you regain control over your energy in its entirety, hard money is simultaneously taking the energy away from their political system.

Every individual in the entire system must earn their energy so that they can decide what to do with it. If government wants to try to pull energy from the future into today by printing money, they'd have to pay the holder of hard money a very, very high interest rate to do it.

That simple idea right there is all it will take to force any entity to determine that the cost is very likely too great. The value of whatever it was they thought they were going to do with that money, that energy, will not be great enough to pay back the lender. You think the lenders won’t know that?

It won't be enough to eclipse the value of saving over the same period as the loan. Borrowing for anything becomes a much tougher proposition. It just doesn't make sense, which to a politician means, it can't be ripped off.

The costs of armed conflict will finally prove to be WAY, WAY too expensive when governments are faced with the consequence of paying the loan back in a world where their existing debt isn't repaid by new debt.

Think about that. The word expensive will mean soimething to the government again.

And its infinitely riskier for any lender that would even consider lending that money. And so it will go for any borrowing the government would attempt to do. With the infinite supply of energy that’s captured through inflation gone, the rules get really, really simple.

Either provide real quality and value – as determined by the lender – or do not act. And when a government in this hard money environment does not act to provide value and quality, it will cease to exist. Against their wishes, most of government just goes away.

That's how it happens. That's how political change will be realized.

The good news is that earning your energy is what you're already very used to doing. The rules in a hard money system don’t require the individual to change much. The better news is that a government now must do it the way you do. Something NONE of them are ready for.

Hard money is economic gravity. You've been living with it. They're about to feel its force. How do you think that’s going to go?

You vote with money, not with votes.

HODLrs know this entire story, backwards. They're an embodiment of the new system. For everyone else reading this, the next hours and days of your life can be the first  days of your life in the new system. What you're reading now is only a message. A fleeting thought.

It can only lead you to the start of your path up the mountain of knowing the problem. To actually understanding it. Because as that happens you will, with complete certainty, be at the top of that mountain, taking in the view that will change your life. It is indescribable.

In this list are people you should learn from. Choose some, or choose them all. Read their books, listen to their podcasts, watch their videos, follow them on Twitter. Together they will guide you up the mountain – they've blazed the trail for me...

The war that is inflation lives is a dark world. So it is on this climb up the mountain that you will have the most memorable moment that occurs in the path of those who become a Bitcoiner.

Even if it’s prior to possessing any Bitcoin,the moment you first see a light in the darkness of fiat society will be your most significant because that is the moment when you, yourself, feel Bitcoin is part of you. And that it is in fact replacing this inflationary nightmare of a war.

On the surface Bitcoin is sure to appear to be just an evolution in currency, or technology or some investment vehicle. It is actually your escape from the war. What you really need to know is how it’s actually a return to nature. A return to what is real. To what we are created to be.

Bitcoin is part of us. It always has been. It’s only now that we are discovering. We’re coming back to what is.

On your path, remember the circle…
