Every dictatorship is obsessed with one thing — control.
In ancient Rome, people were given bread and circuses — distracted with entertainment. Other dictatorships use other strategies to control ideas and knowledge.
How do they do it?
Poor education, restrictions on culture, censorship of information, censorship of any form of personal self-expression. And this is worth remembering. This pattern always repeats itself throughout history.
It's night, and I'm prepping with the team for an AMA for our bStocks partners. We'll be tackling questions about the new Binance products related to TradFi. And since it's late, I want to muse with you about something…
Whatever your relationship with money looks like, money isn't about luxury or greed. First and foremost, money is safety — and the sense of safety is a basic need of the nervous system.
When that need is met, the brain gets the chance to think crystal clear — to create, build, expand, and come up with something new. When the nervous system is under constant stress, the brain simply can't function properly. Cortisol blocks clarity of thought, creativity, and the ability to see opportunities.
Money doesn't make you happy, but the lack of it makes everything else unbearable. That's exactly why it's so hard for people sitting on different tiers of Maslow's pyramid to interact with one another.

Andrew Tate arrested. Miami, at Britain's request, 59 charges: rape, human trafficking, etc.
For those who missed the phenomenon: Tate is the biggest seller of "masculinity" on the planet. Like Markaryan, with billions of views, aimed at a 14–20 audience.
And now the business model without the marketing wrapper: a webcam studio where girls worked for him → on top of that Hustler's University, a subscription for teens about "winner's mindset" → a content machine of thousands of fan accounts that got paid for clip edits. Cash flow built on women in front of a camera, packaged as a philosophy of strength for boys. Basically an OnlyFans pimp with a media empire.
I've written about info-gypsies many times: the vetting methodology doesn't change. Don't listen to what the guru says. Look at where the guru's money comes from. If the income source contradicts the sermon, that's not a mentor in front of you — it's a sales funnel.
