🎓 Bitcoin 101: Fiat Food
Have you ever stopped to wonder why modern man has so many health problems? Learn how the debasement of our money has led to the debasement of our health.
🛍 Get your copy of “Fiat Food” here.
“THE AMERICAN DIET HAS BEEN HIJACKED through a combination of flawed nutrition science, anti-meat religious groups, corporate influence, and a government eager to co-opt all three for the benefit of masking the true cost of an inflation it had created as a consequence of severing ties with the gold standard.
The United States involvement in nutrition policy is not motivated by the health of the American people, concern for the environment, or even to uplift its corporate sponsors, but ultimately, to best conceal the theft made possible from the closure of the gold window.
Bitcoin is the opportunity to reverse the current course, in stripping away the power from authorities, and returning it to the individual. In doing so, Bitcoin will equip each person with the basic tools to reach their highest potential in both their own finances and health.”
📈 Trending Topics in the News
1. Make America Healthy Again - MAHA partnership with Trump
The Scoop🕵️♂️: Robert F. Kennedy, now an independent, announced he'll withdraw from swing states in the upcoming U.S. election to avoid being a "spoiler candidate," while still competing in other states. If he gains 5% or more of the vote, he aims to establish a third party for 2028. After his announcement, he joined former President Trump at a rally in Arizona, launching the #MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement, highlighting his commitment to challenging Big Pharma, Big Ag, and bringing good health back to the United States.
Why you should care🚨: For Americas more broadly, Trump’s collaboration with Bobby Kennedy, a well-known environmentalist and health advocate, means a dedicated focus on improving the health of Americans by removing the corruption and crony capitalism that has entrenched itself in Big Ag, Big Pharma and the Environmental and Military Industrial Complexes. Bobby’s focus on “Making America Healthy Again” could have huge ramifications for a country that is sinking under the literal weight of its health problems.
What does this mean for Bitcoin?: For bitcoiners, this partnership heralds an era of sensible crypto regulation, a US Bitcoin Reserve and a flourishing bitcoin industry in a country that will once again welcome start ups and innovation. More democrats crossed the aisle this week with Tulsi Gabbard (a supporter of bitcoin) joining the team. Many are calling the team being built out for this future administration the “dream team”. We’ll see.
2. Calley and Casey Means - The State of American Health
The Scoop🕵️♂️: American’s most-listened to podcaster, Tucker Carlson recently hosted a brother and sister team of health advocates on his show. They outlined all the issues that have lead to a breakdown in heath in the US. These include Big Pharma, Big Ag, the insurance industry, and surprisingly Obamacare (they explain why).
Some statistics you should be aware of:
The US spends almost twice as much on healthcare as any other country in the world
The farm industry spend 5 x more in DC lobbying than the oil industry
74% of American adults are overweight or obese
Close to 50% of American children are overweight or obese
77% of young adults are unfit to serve in the military
50% of American adults have pre-diabetes or Type 2 diabetes (1% of Americans had this in the 1950s)
30% of teens now have pre-diabetes
Young adult cancers are up 79%
25% of American women are on an antidepressant medication
40% of 18 year olds have a mental health diagnosis
The US has the highest infant mortality rate in the developed world
Autism rates are 1/36 nationally. This was 1 in 1500 the year 2000 (the screening mechanisms have not changed in 20 years), in California the number is 1/22
Infertility is going up 1% x year, sperm counts are going down 1% x year since the 1970s
Why you should care🚨: All the above conditions derive from metabolic disfunction. Where America leads, the world usually follows. We have seen obesity increase across the western world in recent decades, and the trend is not good.
What does this have to do with Bitcoin?: A preference for soundness and truth, often leads bitcoiners to make lifestyle improvements across the board. It’s a standing joke that bitcoiners drink raw milk, eat lots of grass-fed beef and spend many hours exercising in the sun. They also disavow seed oils. To understand why see here.
