Bitcoin is Paleo Tribal Money on PaleoJay's Smoothie Cafe
02/12/21 • 14 min
In returning to an approximation of the paleolithic world in modern times, of course the first thing is to eat and otherwise conduct ourselves in accordance with our evolutionary heritage. Move naturally, and often to build our bodies as did our ancestors for millennia, sleep according to our circadian rhythms, and live in a rural, natural environment, as unaffected by big cities and big government as possible.
But now, there is another step you can take, my paleo fellow tribesperson: buy crypto currencies! These are currencies that run counter to fiat, or national currencies, like the U.S. Dollar. You probably only have heard of one- Bitcoin.
There are many others, but they all are similar, and you only need to know a few things. (They are complex, but just because you don’t understand computers doesn’t mean you can’t use one!)
Crypto refers to all modern private currencies, of which Bitcoin was the first and is the most prominent. It is mathematically engineered to be impossible to manipulate, like government currencies are, by nowadays simply printing more and more, devaluating all of the existing dollars already printed (and saved!), and thus diluting their actual value due to inflation.
In other words, when the government decides to have yet another huge giveaway program, (like these upcoming checks going out to each and every family, and then child in the U.S.), they don’t have the money for it- not at all! They just print billions and trillions more!!
And so, any money you have saved in the bank, or in your IRA, or in your pension, or buried in a can in your back yard- is automatically worth way less, right away. It’s basically a huge tax that you can’t see, but confiscates more and more of your dollar’s worth over time. It’s why if you look at home prices from say, 10 years ago, every house seems so cheap compared to today. Or, prices of cars, or groceries, or anything. Inflation, the invisible tax.
Ever since ancient Rome, devaluing the currency has been the way to steal wealth from the people so the government can spend more and more. For instance, by the end of the Roman republic, a gold coin only contained 1/100th percentage of gold! Originally, it was all gold. Of course, eventually everyone knew it, and the scheme collapsed, and money became worthless.
Just like in Weimar Germany- it took wheelbarrow loads of inflated money to buy a loaf of bread! And, as it is in present South Africa today, along with Zimbabwe- the government money is perceived to be worthless, and it is.
But now, we actually have an alternative to government manipulated money.
Bitcoin. It is a private money, set up to be impossible to inflate. Governments cannot manipulate it; it is a currency of the people, controlled by no individual or group- it is set up to be totally honest- Bitcoin is worth what people who own it and the market overall decide it is worth. The actual value never changes from any outside forces.
But there is more. Once you own it, you don’t have to plan for its value to decline over time, as with every single other currency on the planet! It may go up, and then down; but rest assured that, long term, it will inevitably go up.
Think what a game changer this is! Forever, all throughout civilized history, money has gone down in value, over time. Always. My parent’s first house in 1953, where they raised 5 children, cost $10,000. Their next house, which was in 1962, was much bigger, but only $42,000. They raised all eight of their children from then on the

Be a Good Paleo Tribal Member- Not a Useful Idiot Globalist Democrat
We are living in strange times, where someone who is for free speech, and for the enhancement of their own tribe and group, and for things like truth and justice is painted as evil! A white supremacist if you desire crime enforcement, a hater if you support property rights, and a liar if you support the objective truth. This is what we have come to in the United States, and really in the western world.
Trump, whether you liked him or not, was an unwavering force for good, and for righteousness for all. A good tribal leader! Not perfect (no one is), but a tireless protector of timeless Western values. And remember: western values are civilization nowadays, since civilization itself is now Western Civilization!
So, it is important, now that we have the opposite of Trump in power, that we all come together as a Western Tribe to restore the values and foundations of our own civilization that we have inherited- that was built for us, their descendants, by our ancestors.
Our president, who is obviously mentally deficient, is really just a tool for the globalist socialist/communists, who are bent on redistributing all wealth from us, who have worked and saved to build it, and transfer it (supposedly) to those who have basically done and achieved nothing. Because, as they would put it: it’s only fair.
It’s not at all fair, obviously, but there is far more to their plan: The wealth transfer, along with all power, is actually to the socialist/communist leaders, not to the useful idiots who support their lies enthusiastically. They will be put into the gulags, or forced labor/starvation camps right along with everyone else who opposed these ‘leaders’.
So there it is: is you support Biden, Bernie, Merkel, Macron, and all the other so-called ‘compassionate leaders’ who support things like importing endless amounts of primitive, low IQ people from the 3rd World, you are a traitor. To your people, your tribe, your children, and all of our descendants - along with our ancestors, who built the civilization we enjoyed! We do not have the right to throw it away. Even if it is our of stupidity, ignorance, and most of all- indoctrination. Our infiltrated, awful public school systems are in the vanguard of this traitorous destruction.
Ironically, LIBERALS are on the wrong side of every single issue there is:
Climate Change- a total lie, a blatant power grab, that will kill fossil fuels, nuclear power, and every other form of real, actual power generation! Leaving us with raptor killing, near useless, hideous wind turbines that will eventually leave us freezing in the dark of WINTER. There is no global warming; the true danger that is ultimately inevitable it the next Ice Age. Ask the dinosaurs about the last one...
Proper diet and lifestyle- the liberal, fake scientism view (scientism is phony science belief, not the actual science of now, not 50 years ago) that ‘fat is bad, red meat causes all ills, including fake climate warming, and that all vegetables are wonderful, and a grain based diet is perfect.’ ‘Calories are all that matter in diet- just eat less calories and you will lose fat and be healthy.’
Also, that long sessions of cardio are ideal, and strength training is absolutely worthless for health and wellness.
I could go on and on, but as a paleo person, in a healthy tribe that gets out into nature regularly, lives in a rural environment, sleeps a good 8 hours nightly, and has close relationships with a family and tribe that all share similar beliefs that are based in th

Be a Lord of the Rings
In these strange times, when so much seems to be falling apart and in endless flux, it is time to focus on the self. Even when there is little you can accomplish in the realm of politics, including the collapse of the cities and schools, law and order and endless reckless spending- you can work on your own health, wellness, and fitness!
Enter the rings. Gymnastic rings that is! Up until a few years ago, the notion of using rings seemed far-fetched: in my youth, such tools were never available. No one back then even knew how to use them, but when you saw things like the Olympics, these amazing god-like athletes could be seen (most from European countries) doing incredible feats of crazy strength and control.
They were fun to watch, but like tight rope walking and trapeze acts, nothing that one aspired to. But, the incredibly lean, defined physiques of those gymnasts were sure to catch you eye - how to look and perform like that?! It seemed impossible, what they did, and yet there they were, doing it.
I’m here to tell you though- gymnastic rings are the best kept fitness secret in the world! You can get your own set, these days, quite inexpensively, and hang it in your basement, garage, or from a basketball hoop or playground structure easily. A sturdy tree branch in the summer months is also perfect, and can be set up and taken down in a couple of minutes or so.
Lots of gyms now are closed, or at least restricted (with masks and social distancing- needlessly I am convinced), but still, it is the case. And it is also the case that you can replace a whole gym with a set of rings! And actually, it turns out- most exercises are better and more result producing than the standard, rigid bar of machine versions.
Take the pushup, for instance: done on the rings, the pushup is far harder than standard pushups, and far more versatile and safer on the joints, while also building strength in the ligaments and tendons along with the muscles involved. In addition, the balance required also helps with balance and strengthening the vital core stabilizers of the body, including the abs and the smaller muscles of the trunk and shoulders.
For instance, I am convinced that the ring pushups are far superior to the barbell bench press, in every conceivable way. Your arms on both sides go through a complete range of motion, in a very controlled fashion- unlike a bb bench press, that is an unnaturally shortened motion, where the shoulders do not completely retract, and the barbell encourages a ballistic upward thrust to achieve an illusion of strength.
The rings pushup forces you to use a slow, controlled rep speed, and a complete retraction and controlled return using your own body weight and a safe plane of motion with no momentum to ‘impress yourself and others’ as to a heavier weight that you are not really using to maximum advantage.
And, in fact, the further beauty of the rings is that you can make the pushup not only harder, but easier as well. Let’s say your rings are mounted up high, as they should be- you can walk forward away from the mounting point, and then the pushup is much easier- you can be standing almost upright, at a slight decline on the rings rather than parallel to the ground. This will make the pushup as easy as you want to make it! You can easily make it as easy as doing pushups standing against a wall, or slightly more difficult, simply by walking back to be more directly underneath where the strap is hung.
In fact, this is what I do each ring workout: I start out almost standing erect, and do a set of pushups that is easy, followed right aw
