Stop Feeding the Beast
Every dollar you spend is a vote. Stop voting for your own oppression.
Every time you swipe your debit card, file your W-2, or buy a house in dollars, you’re feeding the beast.
That beast is the system we live under—propped up by fiat money, powered by endless debt, and kept alive by your participation. It's the engine behind unchecked surveillance (hi, ICE), billion-dollar forever wars, bloated housing prices, and the slow dismantling of programs like Medicare and Social Security. It’s the reason your rent is unaffordable, your job feels precarious, and your kids can’t imagine owning a home unless they “make it” on TikTok.
It took me years to realize how deep this runs. We’ve been trained to think the government funds itself through taxes. And sure, it does collect taxes. But that's not the real story. The real power source? The money printer. The Federal Reserve’s ability to create new dollars out of nothing—diluting your purchasing power, inflating asset prices, and shifting wealth upward every single day.
You can vote every four years. Or you can vote every time you spend. When you opt into fiat, you opt into the entire package: Wall Street bailouts, militarized police, secret drone wars, lobbyist-written bills, bloated healthcare admin salaries, and all the quiet ways this system grinds people down.
But here’s the thing they don’t want you to do: opt out.
That’s what Bitcoin is. Not just an investment, not just some volatile asset on a chart. Bitcoin is a peaceful exit. A tool that says: I don’t consent to this system anymore. I’m done funding ICE raids. I’m done propping up a housing market manipulated by artificially low interest rates and institutional speculation. I’m done participating in a game rigged by central banks and played by politicians who always seem to leave office richer than they came in.
Every time you get paid in Bitcoin, every time you send it, every time you hold it instead of spending dollars, you’re starving the machine.
And no, this isn’t some perfect utopian fix. There’s no magic wand here. But the longer we keep using fiat, the longer we keep making excuses—"it's too early," "it’s too volatile," "what if the government bans it?"—the longer this predatory system stays afloat.
The high cost of housing? That’s not an accident. It’s a direct result of decades of easy money, subsidized debt, and asset inflation. You’re not “priced out”—you’ve been systematically excluded.
Medicare cuts? Also not a mystery. The same government that says there’s “not enough funding” for healthcare is somehow flush with cash for military contractors, surveillance programs, and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. You think any of that changes if we just keep voting harder?
No. What changes the game is when we stop playing by their rules.
Bitcoin isn’t about getting rich quick. It’s about staying free long-term.
It’s the idea that money should be earned, saved, and held—not conjured up by unelected bureaucrats and handed out to the politically connected. It’s the belief that your financial life shouldn’t be tracked, traced, or turned into a weapon.
It’s about self-custody. It’s about privacy. It’s about sovereignty.
And it’s about building something better—not by asking for permission, but by simply using better tools.
We’ve been feeding this beast for too long. The results are in: it’s not working. It’s not fixable through elections, petitions, or polite tweets. You don’t reform a parasite. You starve it.
Start with your next paycheck. Start with your next invoice. Start with your savings plan. Start by learning. Start by helping one other person do the same.
But start.
Because if we keep going like this, we know exactly where it ends: more surveillance, more inflation, more exclusion, more despair. A future where our kids ask why we didn’t act when we had the chance.
Bitcoin is not just about money. It’s about power. And who you decide gets to keep it.
