Why I’ve become a radical for BITCOIN.
I’m an American MANUFACTURER.
I’m not an importer/reseller. I do not provide a service. I don’t assemble, package and sell. Nothing I do will EVER be available on Amazon.
None of the above are necessary without what I and others like me do.
I buy elements that have been mined from the earth e.g. chromium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, silica, iron, a dozen or so others and turn it into numerous steels: mild steels, alloy steels, tool steels, nickel and cobalt alloys, from which I make castings. My castings are used in numerous machines and equipment that enable secondary, tertiary, etc, manufacturers to produce what they do. Without what my industry produces NO modern plane or rocket could leave the earth, no nuclear reactor could be built hence, we would have no defense systems. I AM A PRIMARY MANUFACTURER.
I’ve worked in my industry for 50 yrs this month. I started a business in this industry just over 32yrs ago. TODAY it is no longer possible to do what I did and it’s not because I’m special. What I did back then is now so regulated, the financial barriers so great, the available labor is so hobbled and the number of no-value-added costs so high that it is nearly impossible to start small and grow. Today, new foundries are the offspring of existing foundries operating at scale that are bankable and believe it or not, this isn’t workable over the long-term.
This month I am nearly finished CLOSING my business. Please understand I am not going-out-of-business due to necessity—I had healthy sales and profitability in 2023 and the first quarter of this year.
I have decided to no longer do what I have done, I quit. Very simply a hard, healthy, abrupt stop.
Why and what does this have to do with BITCOIN? At this point I personally have NO other means to disrupt a very broken system and BITCOIN along with the great minds behind Bitcoin alone will facilitate the commerce that will enable a rebuilding—possibly before complete destruction.
The government that is funded BY us, exists only because of OUR work, has been working with those who will destroy us.
BITCOIN fixes this and it is time to risk our lives and our fortunes to build BITCOIN as our financial system, and defend it.
To fail in this is to assure our continuing enslavement.
“I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”
-not my words, rather my spirit.
So, answer me this, “Who IS Bitcoin?”
