There is an energy in the air. The notion that something even bigger than a monetary revolution is underway. A new golden age of reason, craftsmanship, and culture. A radical transformation of consciousness. Hyperbitcoinization.

Imagine how crazy measuring would be if we expanded the length of an inch by 2% every year.
Now ask yourself why we do that measuring the cost of everything.
To measure the value of everything properly we need a measurement that will never change.

Canada's entire economy is a mirage underpinned by student visas, real estate ponzi, and a money supply that expands on average at 8.5%.
They want the price of houses, and stonks, and gold to go up forever.
They don’t care that the price of rent and eggs and milk are going up forever too.
The idea of something that can be money and also increase in value for them is alien, scary, and triggering.
Bitcoin is going to humble a lot of really successful people who have decided it is stupid before reading a single bitcoin book.
What’s sad is that they will unknowingly take a great many of their trusting clients down with them
