Block out the noise.
This will be short and sweet. While everyone is focused on the price falling below the critical $95,000 level, which James Check has identified as a target that represents the "Bulls Last Stand", bitcoin surpassed a noteworthy milestone; the 19,950,000th bitcoin was released in a block subsidy today. This means that 95% of all of the bitcoin that will ever exist has been distributed to the market. Pretty wild to think about.
Most people do not understand the aggressiveness of bitcoin's supply schedule. The days of easily mining cheap material amounts of whole bitcoins is well behind us. In a world in the midst of a chaotic inflection point, a Fourth Turning - if you will, it is easy to get lost in the noise of everything swirling around the news cycle. It is imperative that you don't let the noise distract you from what is happening with bitcoin and what it represents.
Most of the noise you see and hear around the world is being produced by people releasing guttural screeches as they attempt to anchor themselves to reality. Often blaming symptoms of a societal illness with the cause itself. The cause of many of the ills that we are witnessing today is the fact that money can be created out of thin air and thrown at anything the central planners desire. This is what bitcoin represents; an antidote to the poison of broken money that drives the masses toward unproductive madness. And as of today, 95% of the total supply of bitcoin has been distributed to the market. Standing ready to provide any individual who is so willing to adopt it with a censorship resistant network that enables one to truly protect their wealth from debasement, confiscation and middle men who would like to prevent you from sending and receiving money.
One cool thing about the design of the bitcoin protocol is how the block subsidy of each halving epoch is equivalent to the supply inflation of that epoch:
As it stands right now, on January 7th 2035 99% of all bitcoin that will ever exist will be on the market.
It's a beautiful, fair and revolutionary system, bitcoin is. Those of you who recognize this first will benefit massively in the long-run.
Block out the noise.
The mainstream media narrative about American mass shootings crumbles when subjected to proper statistical analysis. Rather than being the global epicenter of mass violence that headlines suggest, the United States doesn't even crack the top 50 countries when mass shooting rates are adjusted for population size. This revelation exposes a deliberate distortion in how international violence statistics are presented to the American public.
"The media systematically refuses to make per capita comparisons for international mass shooting data, while they routinely use per capita analysis for comparing crime between US states." - John Lott
The evidence is stark: Norway's 2011 attack claimed 67 lives, France's 2015 Paris attack killed 130, and Germany has actually exceeded America's school shooting rate since 2000 when population is considered. Finland's mass shooting rate, if applied to US population size, would represent 120 incidents compared to our reality. This systematic misrepresentation by media outlets that readily use per capita analysis for domestic crime comparisons but abandon it for international mass shooting data reveals an agenda-driven approach to statistical reporting.
