Fiat Is Hopeless

This week was something else. Bitcoin didn’t just break past its all-time highs - it obliterated them, ripping a $7,000 candle in less than 24 hours.

As expected, the wave of companies adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset keeps growing. One firm tried to ā€œdiversifyā€ into other coins but has now sold all its Solana to double down on Bitcoin. The market has made it clear what it rewards.

On the political side, after the Big Beautiful Bill passed, Elon threw one of his classic tantrums and floated the idea of launching his own political movement: the America Party. His goal? Ditch the tired red vs. blue script and rally a fiscally responsible insurgency.

Naturally, Bitcoiners asked if this new party would embrace Bitcoin. Elon’s reply?
ā€œFiat is hopeless.ā€

It’s incredible to witness this shift. The same Bitcoin that’s been declared dead countless times, the same Bitcoin once dismissed as a tool for criminals, is now being recognized, and even weaponized, as a political force to win votes.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth: all the talk of fiscal responsibility means nothing until we confront the real problem—the central banking monetary system itself.

With mountains of debt already baked into the system, Lyn Alden’s latest quote (below) feels more accurate with each passing day:

The good news? There is a solution.

It’s not about finding a more ā€œresponsibleā€ group to manage the money. It’s about removing that control altogether. Separating money from the state.

A system of rules, not rulers.

That’s why we Bitcoin.

Now go enjoy the week. We’ve hit new highs, momentum is surging, and Bitcoin is on the verge of overtaking Amazon as the fifth-largest asset on Earth.

Stay safe and keep on stacking!
