As Time Goes By...

Almost eight years ago, I bought my first cryptocurrency—10 LTC. It was October 2017 when I finally pulled the trigger on crypto, though I had been aware of it since mid-2017. I actually wanted to buy a whole BTC when it crashed to $2,950 after China’s ban, but after some failed transfers, I ended up not doing it.
I’ve always been a "whole coin/whole numbers" kind of guy, and that mindset made me ditch the idea of buying BTC the next day after my failed attempt—just because my cash was no longer enough for a full Bitcoin. I’ve stayed in crypto ever since, but I never really made life-changing money.
I probably never will. After 38 years on this planet, I’ve realized I’m just not that lucky when it comes to money. The whole industry has changed so much, and now less than 700 BTC is worth $67 million. That’s insane. Yet, 15 years ago, you could have mined all those bitcoins with a simple laptop.
Some people here probably did that, but how many had the vision back then to see Bitcoin hitting $100,000 or even $1 million? I bet very few. Most of us think short-term.
That’s why we get fat, why we struggle to quit smoking, and why we keep electing thieves and pedophiles as presidents and members of Congress. We lack long-term vision, and that sucks.
Meanwhile, the elites—the likes of Rockefeller and Rothschild—have an unshakable conviction in their plans. And as time goes by, those plans are becoming reality.
Back in the day, Alex Jones and David Icke talked about a one-world government. And while it’s not officially here yet, we can clearly see the growing centralization of power. Anyone who’s not on their list but has a real shot at winning an election gets taken out of the race.
That happened with sovereign candidate Călin Georgescu in Romania, and we’re seeing something similar happening in France with Le Pen. Democracy is just a showpiece now—it’s no longer real.
Back to Bitcoin—most of us who invest in crypto are doing it to make more dollars. But that was never the point of Bitcoin. It wasn’t meant to be flipped for fiat but to serve as a tool against the very systems of tyranny we live under.
As time goes by… Big cities don’t make much sense anymore. Chasing shiny new cars and fancy clothes feels more futile than ever. Fiat is about to become programmable. And Bitcoin? It doesn’t seem like something worth dumping into fiat anymore.
Just my two cents. Have a great day—catch you all next time.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
