U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that reviving Venezuela’s oil industry will be a central focus of Washington’s intervention following the removal of President Nicolas Maduro, framing the effort as both a geopolitical and economic play. Speaking from Mar-a-Lago, Trump said U.S. energy companies are expected to take a leading role in repairing the country’s oil infrastructure while the United States oversees a temporary transition of power.

You don't need Bitcoin? You find it useless, abstract, speculative? Then you probably live in a functional rule of law. You can open an account. Receive your salary. Save without permission. Leave your country without losing your money. This comfort is not the norm. It is a historical exception. Only 11% of humans are born into a stable, democratic monetary system that protects property. The remaining 89% live elsewhere. In fragile, hyperinflationary, authoritarian, or arbitrary economies. For them, money is not a neutral tool. It is a filter. An identity test. A condition of obedience. Most economic discriminations are not moral. They are systemic. Bitcoin was not designed for speculation. It was born to operate without permission. Without identity. Without geography. This text proposes a simple thing: to look at Bitcoin not from the minority it enriches, but from the majority it protects from erasure.
