Control. Why? There are many individuals who have a lot of power influence, resources… Capital, yet, have no control over their lives? For example, if you don’t have the control or the power in your life to just take a nap whenever you want to… Or to just turn off your phone or ignore your email… Do you got control? So the truth is, when we think about power the will to power… nietzsches idea,,, ... perhaps the way to think about it is in terms of control. The apex power AS control. For example, if you run a publicly traded corporation… The founder to just have control over his her company. Like to have enough shares in the company to not get kicked out. So the basic person talks about money, but a higher order level of thinking is capital. It’s not money we seek, but capital. In fact the very interesting insight I have is, typically… People trying to chase money and things, they are just being baited by the same carrot and stick, that corporations try to sell you. And also the interesting insight is, ... then it is not capital or capitalism which is the enemy, but rather… Consumer consumerism.  It doesn’t matter if you are left or right or center… As long as Asya you’re on Instagram or TikTok or YouTube, or Amazon prime… You’re being suckered by the same game. In fact, you could simply see who somebody is by just asking them to look at the home screen of their phone. Trust no man or woman who is on Instagram TikTok YouTube or any social media app. Also, trust no man or a woman who has a Netflix subscription. or any streaming subscription.  Typically the more capital you have, the more control you have over your life.  The very simple idea I have is, bitcoin is digital capital, digital capitalism perfected. With bitcoin anything is possible.  Like for example, assuming you have a Coinbase account, there’s like 1 trillion things you could do with your bitcoin. Simply put, you could post your bitcoin as collateral, cash out some money, Untaxed,, and either withdraw a small amount a month like $5000 a month, to fund your living expenses, even lower if you live in Southeast Asia… Or, you could cash that out and buy a stock like MSTR, MSTU, MSTX etc.  The simple way to have financial control over your life is to just not finance anything. Actually if you studied the ancient etymology of finance it meant “ransom“, or hostage in French. For example you don’t want to finance your car, your home or your yacht, assuming you want freedom.  Once again… Everyone’s a little bit confused… Some people want more power influence money or whatever’s… But, the true goal and the endgame is gaining more control. Infinite.
