"How can this be legal?
The life insurance policy of a 72-year-old woman was abruptly terminated, despite her consistent on-time premium payments since 1987. How did this happen?
Let me break it down for you ā when your country and the companies inside of it are bankrupt, they start doing irrational things.
Let's dive into a story that's not hard to comprehend. Our society, it seems, is adept at putting band-aids on bullet holes. We avoid the answers, the truth, the root causes. We're reluctant to fix things, even when the solutions seem simple and easy.
Take the perpetual problem of Michigan's roads ā everyone acknowledges it, yet they remain unfixed. We continue allowing contractors and politicians to launder money.
There's awareness of issues like sending cash to Ukraine and engaging in endless wars, but audits on the Pentagon or where the cash goes are non-starters.
The refusal to let accountants audit the cash is a glaring issue. Our currency is slipping away like sand through the Pentagon's hands. When was the last audit they passed? Five, six, seven years ago? We can't audit the Fed or Fort Knox because we don't know where the gold is.
And so, the cycle continues ā we keep going on and on.
Did you check the fine print?
Now, consider this ā denying people medicine or healthcare because they didn't inject a certain substance into their bodies in the last three years. You get turned away, your healthcare becomes irrelevant. It doesn't matter anymore. This is the world we've created, driven by the incentives of a system incentivized by fiat, decree, and hot air, leading to malicious actions.
So just because you have a āpromiseā or a ācontractā out there with someone means diddly-squat.
We had many people in this country cheering on people dying or not letting them get basic healthcare because of a choice they made to not be subjected to the largest medical experiment in human history.
Think about thatā¦
I've argued this with many friends in the insurance industry that a new system is needed because the legacy fiat system is crumbling. Insurance companies, as third parties, control your livelihood. You're at the mercy of a third party without any control. The common retort is, 'It's a promise, it's a contract.' But how often are those broken, and what can you do about it? Suing them requires money, power, and clout ā a luxury not everyone possesses.
This predicament is escalating, particularly as 401ks, IRAs, pensions, policies and similar assets become vulnerable targets. When your cash is within the system, controlled by a third party, you're under the gun.
When a company and country is failing and your cash is sitting there, it becomes awfully enticing not to take it. Just ask those in Cyprus that got ābailed-inā 10+ years ago or the Americans at the FDIC who readily admitted that you cash isnāt safe at the end of 2022.
None of us are special unless our last name is Buffett or Bezos or Biden. We donāt know enough people to get bailed out or have our wealth preserved by fighting the right people.
āFrom Russia with Loveā
A parallel can be drawn with Russian assets and liabilities. The frozen cash from the SWIFT system will likely be unfrozen and given to Ukraine, potentially triggering a tipping point as Nolan Bauerle predicts.
I venture to guess that Russia might start denominating its energy resources in Bitcoin, an unmovable, uncensorable, unconfiscatable measuring stick. Bitcoin, stored securely with your 12 or 24 words, becomes an impervious fortress.
The argument that 'it's digital; I want something tangible' holds little weight. The internet going down is a tail risk, but if it does, militaries, the governments, and the banking system would all collapse. The reality is, your currency is already digital, existing as digits in a computer or bank, typed out of nowhere.
Having explored all the objections over the years, there's a stark realization that there are none that suffice. As evidenced as to why the fiat price continues to grow as more become educated on the power of the network. Hence, the relentless emphasis I put on Bitcoin. This has become my life's mission ā to educate, particularly the youth and older generations, on Bitcoin, truth, and sound money.
Bitcoin is the escape hatch from a sinking fiat debt-based legacy monetary Titanic. As Christine Lagarde aptly stated, āif there's an escape hatch, people will use it.ā Bitcoin is that escape hatch, a separation of money from state, challenging the ruling class.
Governments won't willingly embrace change, but culture will force it. Bitcoin changes you; it doesn't bend to your will. Governments will change because, at the end of the day, we are the government.
So, let this serve as a wake-up call. Your life insurance, ETF, 401k, pension, stock portfolio ā they're all garbage, subject to capture with a click, a swoop, or a stroke of the executive order pen.
This is the wake-up call we need ā urgent and imperative.
Please share this out; it's more crucial than ever.
Stay strong,
