It is 0430 on a Monday and the alarm is quickly disarmed to avoid waking up my wife and 8-month-old daughter beside me, the work week has begun. I quickly make breakfast, homegrown eggs and coffee with a splash of raw milk to wash it down. After firing up my diesel pick-up truck and clearing the snow from the driveway it is 0545, time to start the commute. It snowed the night before, and the roads that are littered with potholes hadn't been plowed, a sign of the times. Traffic is few and far between because the only people travelling at this hour and in these conditions are the ever-diminishing productive class. I arrive at 0640, the expected 20 minutes early for my 0700 shift and fire up my machine, because if you're not early, you're late. It is now 0700, and the crew is short-staffed again, partially because of the weather, but more because of a nationwide shortage of skilled producers. The general contractor cut snow removal from the budget as the numbers were already too tight, and the engineer who is working remotely has no answers for why none of the pieces fit, the day will be cut short today with very little production. It is 1530, I begin the commute home, the roads are now a sheet of ice because the plowing companies have begun using lightweight polymer plow blades for "sustainability" reasons. It is 1745 as I arrive in my driveway, multiple accidents on the highways made for terrible delays. As I see my three young daughters and they run or crawl to greet me, I smile knowing that their future will be better, for it will be on a Bitcoin Standard. Even though I will give away 40% of what I earn today to fund programs I disagree with, to "fix and maintain" roads that will not be fixed or maintained, and to support those with zero economic output, I will keep the rest in a money that will change the world. For I am one of the remnant that will be part of the Rebuild.

Of all the books that I read in the last year, Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" had the most profound effect on me. It brought me to the realization that this system we live in can not survive hyperbitcoinization. An abundance of money has led to a scarcity of everything else. Scarcity in everything else has led to an extreme degradation of quality in all goods and services. Being in the building services, I can testify firsthand to the lack of beauty, craftsmanship, quality of material, and innovation in modern-day construction. The current solution to the "real estate crisis" in my city is six-story OSB boxes. My quote to the site superintendent of a residential high-density housing project that I was on this last week was "If I could design communism, it would look a lot like this". Following that job our company had the great fortune of installing sixty, 70 sqft (7 x 10), for the local homeless population that has taken over the railroad district of our city. The new tiny homes camp resembles a fenced concentration camp all funded by the producer's tax dollars. Living in Canada, our country even supplies the hard illicit drugs for those in "need", when did I "vote" for this? When did any of the productive class "vote" for this? The simple answer is they didn't and for the first time in history, they have a more weighted vote with Bitcoin.

From fifteen years of trade experience, I have become the artisan of my craft, I have watched the great men ride off into the sunset to be replaced by another generation, and that new generation now holds the torch, but the torch is dim. Strong men are tired of being stolen from, their skills are not valued and in turn, they chase and attempt to reap the rewards of easier fields. Stock trading, financial services, and management positions, all offer greater rewards for less risk, to the point where there will soon be no value to manage, trade or advise on. The signs for this event are already in place, real estate values are wildly speculative, stocks are trading at price-to-earnings ratios in ever higher multiples, and financial managers are seeking the working man's percentage points for little to no service. Bitcoin is the great disruptor and the great verifier of value, stocks will be valued to their bitcoin holdings and earnings (think MSTR), real estate returning to utility value will allow liquidity to move again, and the cypher-punks will negate the use of financial managers through the laws of code. Perhaps the greatest change of all will be the inability of governments to self-fund themselves through public theft. Since 2020, the greatest source of new jobs has been government/public sector jobs, this will also be the greatest loss of jobs when The Great Disruption occurs. This is bullish.

Every individual who is displaced by The Great Disruption will need to turn from a consumer to a producer if they wish to capture value how they did before, and they will be at the service of the previous years' producers that realized these patterns. We call these people the remnant, and they are the rebuilders. For the greatest will be the least, and the least will be the greatest. With access to the most valuable capital that has ever existed, bitcoiners with valuable skills will usher in a technological renaissance as the only way in this era to acquire more bitcoin is through products and services of value. An influx of engineers, medical professionals, tradesmen, and skilled service workers all fighting for a piece of the most valuable network to ever exist will undoubtedly lead to innovation, improved infrastructure and architecture, and an abundance of resources.

What should we do as bitcoiners? It is our job to maximize our talents and skills, and increase our stack as much as possible until this happens. I only agree with spend and replace if you know the bitcoin you are spending won't be traded for fiat on the other end of the trade. Every dollar you spend and sat you stack brings us closer to this monetary singularity. Keep searching for the remnant who has mastered their craft, we will need them on the other side. Our job is to HODL and Rebuild.
