Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Update, WW3, Printer is Coming, Gold vs Bitcoin, & UAPs | Matthew Pines

"If I zoom out over the next five, 10 years, what's the most important thing? It's actually not the Bitcoin stuff. It's this UAP stuff... This is the thing that's going to change the lives of my children much more so than Bitcoin. Bitcoin will give them a good life, but this thing will change the future of human civilization."
