Tribe Vibe - The Corruption Edition
Hello Tribe Vibers!
This week we’re diving into the corruption of the fiat financial system – from Deanna Heikkinen’s analysis on how today’s money‑printing frenzy (thanks, Keynes) is driving inflation, the shocking news that Epstein financed Bitcoin Core developers, to Wall Street bank J.P. Morgan’s connections to Epstein.
We unpack the impact of socialised healthcare and spotlight a historic Cointelegraph survey revealing half of female Bitcoin investors are playing the long‑game.

🎓 Bitcoin 101: “Money Printing Exposed: Keynes, Inflation, and the Bitcoin Solution”
The Keynes‑style stimulus – central banks dumping cheap credit and new money into the economy – can give a short‑term boost to spending, but it also inevitably fuels inflation because fiat dollars aren’t scarce and can be printed at will, eroding purchasing power and destabilizing savings worldwide, especially with the U.S. Fed’s record‑high currency issuance in 2025 and the likely continuation in 2026. Deanna Heikkinen presents Bitcoin as a compelling alternative, offering a hard‑capped supply of 21 million coins that can’t be inflated by governments, making it attractive for anyone looking for a store of value insulated from fiat‑based monetary debasement.

Why You Should Care🚨: The funding of Bitcoin Core developers has often been controversial, with many concerned that the providers of that funding could exert undue influence on the maintainers of the software used to interact with the Bitcoin network. That money was received from a someone running a global sex trafficking operation with likely ties to several intel agencies, is concerning.
