This is so sad. People don't understand the basic principles of how money actually works. The US dollar has lost over 97% of its purchasing power since 1913, and that's thanks to the Federal Reserve. So those $1,000 weekly payments? They say 3% inflation like that's a safe assumption. It's not. The official CPI average since 1960 is 3.8%. But real-world costs… housing, healthcare, groceries… they have inflated closer to 5-7% annually for decades. And in just the last 4 years alone, cumulative inflation hit 23%. So 3% is the best case scenario. And even at 3% she needs to live 29 more years just to collect $1M in real purchasing power. If she's 40 today, she has to make it to age 69. If she's 45, she's praying she sees 74. At 23% inflation, which is what we actually experienced the last few years, she never gets there. EVER The math is brutal: - Her $1,000/week is worth $813 in real terms after just year 1 - By year 5 it's worth $355 - By year 10 it's worth $126 - By year 20 it's worth $16 Even if she collects for the full 20 years, she'll have received $1,040,000 on paper. But in real purchasing power? $222,488. That's it. Less than a quarter million in actual value. In exchange for 20 years of waiting. Damn thats sad. At 23% inflation, the maximum her payments are ever worth in real terms… even if she lives forever is $226,087. The math literally caps out there. She can never reach $1M in real value. Not in any number of years. The truth is the lottery didn't give her $1M. They gave her $226K disguised as a million, paid out slowly enough that most people never notice. The lump sum was always the right answer. Not to spend BUT to put to work. $1M in Bitcoin in 2020 would be worth over $5M today. In 2017, over $30M. Nothing has outperformed Bitcoin over any 4-year window in its entire history. But the crazy part is the lottery isn't even paying her with money they have. They're paying her with the tickets you and I bought last week. It reminds me of social security lol. Collect from people today. Promise to pay others tomorrow. Hope nobody does the math. They collect billions, pay out slowly over decades while inflation does the work for them, and pocket the difference. The money is never sitting in a vault with her name on it. Brenda, I hope someone tells you before year 5. Because the system just played you… AGAIN. https://blossom.primal.net/f14291526f8b0982e1c6cd7dc773490a17c858be9ed2a234d49bc8d56286eedd.jpg

Nostr, I have been scared to ask this because I (almost) always get the truth. But I have to ask, what are your thoughts on peptides? Are they worth it?

Today my country Peru is making one of the most important decisions in its history. I've watched Peru become a political punchline for the last decade. We’ve had 9 presidents in 10 years. NINE. But that's not even the most insane part. Every elected Peruvian president since 1985 is either in jail, has been in jail, or has faced arrest. Lets go down memory lane: Alberto Fujimori — 25 years in prison for human rights violations and corruption. Alejandro Toledo — sentenced to 20 years for money laundering. Spent years hiding in the US before being extradited back to Peru. Alan García — two-time president. Shot himself in the head the moment police came to arrest him for corruption. Died. Ollanta Humala — sentenced to 15 years for money laundering linked to Venezuela and Brazil's Odebrecht scandal. Pedro Pablo Kuczynski — resigned, arrested, sentenced. House arrest at 80 years old. Martín Vizcarra — impeached, banned from public office. Pedro Castillo — tried to dissolve Congress in a live TV address, was arrested the same day, sentenced to prison. Peru even built a special jail exclusively for ex-presidents … This is a country where power itself has become a crime scene. And today, AGAIN Peruvians are being asked to choose between two options: Keiko Fujimori. Hard right. Daughter of a convicted authoritarian who ruled by fear, forced sterilizations, and death squads. She's been on trial for corruption herself three times. This is her fourth attempt at the presidency. Roberto Sánchez. Hard left. Calling for a new constitution, restructuring the economy, and redistribution. The kind of language that sounds like justice to a desperate population. Here's what nobody wants to say out loud: When a country is THIS unstable, THIS exhausted, THIS broken that's exactly when the left wins. Not because people want socialism nor because they studied Venezuela or Cuba or Nicaragua. Because people are so shattered by decades of corruption, betrayal, and chaos that they will vote for ANYTHING that promises something different. That's a historical pattern that has repeated itself across Latin America for 60 years. The conditions don't start with a dictator. They start with a population that stopped believing anything could get better. They start with a people so beaten down they stop asking what is being promised and just need someone to promise something. I love Peru. I'm Peruvian. My family is Peruvian. I was born there. And that is exactly why this terrifies me. A beautiful country, with insane resources… The people of Peru don't need a new constitution. They need leaders who don't belong in a prison cell built specifically for leaders like them. History doesn't warn you twice. Pray for peru. 🇵🇪 https://blossom.primal.net/3a87e26302272b9655239760a01d8401b9feffb49241dd4df56f03b7b44b1d5b.jpg

2026 and this is what “free” WiFi looks like: You have to scan your passport, virtually accept legal liability for everything you do online and then they give you a code for you to connect. 9th grader me would’ve never believed we’d actually end up living the Orwell dystopia while reading his books. Remember “free” has a price. https://blossom.primal.net/ea52e271678b63242e0354ab75c903e634d89f2b8b63dbf67eb1c1c043a089a0.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/fd008714b9f16756e365cec1dd3ae77eca07ecd52e3acb7844c44dae6e8a001c.jpg

my dad just finished paying college for his last kid. honest question for parents: are you planning to do the same for your kids? or do you think the whole college industrial complex is dying? https://blossom.primal.net/2a1a47a18ad696df009f7b32f3d2b9d9ae5dc08a35433c7440e7a44cf02f9134.jpg

I just had the scariest experience of my life. I'm visiting a friend in Naples, FL. She invites me on a walk to her brother's house in nice neighborhood, broad daylight, maybe 30 minutes through quiet residential streets. About halfway there, she turns to me. "Dude, there's a white car following us." I look back. A white BMW, hanging behind us at walking pace. I shrug it off. We're two grown women, broad daylight, beautiful neighborhood who's going to kidnap us? We keep walking. We hang at her brother's for 20 minutes. By the time we leave, it's getting dark. Around 8pm. Two blocks into the walk back, we run into one of her friends and his son. We stop and tell them about the white car as a joke. "You're not going to believe this a white BMW was following us earlier." We're laughing. They're laughing. We say goodbye and keep walking. Five minutes pass, the same white BMW pulls in behind us. We start walking faster. There are no other cars on the road. Just him. We speed up,he speeds up. I look at my friend. She looks at me. We start running. She calls her husband. He's home with their two kids asleep, he can't just leave them. The BMW keeps pace. Minutes feel like hours. Finally, a young woman pulls into her driveway. We wave her down. The BMW pulls up next to us, rolls down his window, a man, late 20s… says something we couldn't hear, and drives off. We explain our situation and ask her if she can drive us home. Now this is where the story gets crazy. My friend texts the neighbor we'd run into earlier, the one we'd told the joke to. A few minutes later, his reply comes in. He'd asked his son about the white BMW. His son told him the same white BMW has been parked at their bus stop the last two afternoons. Just sits there when the kids get off. Never picks up a single kid. We are very, very lucky to be home safe tonight. To anyone in Naples, FL please be aware. White BMW. Male driver, late 20s. Be safe out there.

I AM LIVID. Let me tell you what just happened. Last week I set up my AI agent. First thing I did: review my website security. What it found made my blood BOILLLL. Over 50 invisible links to gambling websites were BURIED in the source code of mayakita.com …..they were hidden from anyone visiting the site BUT fully visible to Google. Pointing to casinos like Pin-Up, Mostbet, 1Win, and Parimatch…. I didn’t know it was a thing until I found out it’s actually called SEO spam injection. Hackers break into your website and hide their casino links in your code. Google crawls your site and thinks YOU are vouching for their sketchy gambling platforms. It tanks your SEO and boosts theirs…ALL while you have absolutely no idea it's happening, you think your website sucks, and people don’t even bother to look at it. To the gambling sites tanking my SEO: I don't care what you do with your life. But hijacking small businesses to do it? That's just pathetic. It’s low. And it’s plain sad. The wild part: I never would have caught this without my AI agent. Shoutout to Clawbot for literally saving my website. AI out here protecting businesses while we sleep. If you have a website, please, go check your source code. You might be surprised what's hiding in there. If you also want to support small businesses come check us out, we are hosting a Bitcoin 101 retreat April 9-12. https://blossom.primal.net/50a0207db11931bee1eae5535a04ca302fbfd9080a2c6977801ac63e50187e37.mp4
