Man, I bet Sturgill Simpson would grimace watching this video back. Some people don’t like watching old videos of themselves because they don’t like the sound of their own voice, or because they don’t want to be reminded that Father Time is undefeated. Sturgill probably wouldn’t like watching this clip of himself from 2018 because he’d get upset thinking about all of the money he could have made. Simpson was on The Joe Rogan Experience seven years ago, and while he was on, he and Rogan started talking about Bitcoin… which was still a relatively new thing at the time: “I remember Shooter (Jennings) going on and on, years ago, about the Bitcoin sh*t man. He got hung up on the Bitcoin for a minute. I wish I would have listened.” Rogan went on to call Shooter a “Bitcoin Believer,” then the podcast host pointed out that even he himself was a little skeptical about it all. Sturgill agreed, and it’s just a little painful to watch this kind of conversation play out now armed with hindsight in 2025: “I don’t understand it, and I probably never will. So I’m going to stay over here (away from it). It feels a little pyramid scheme-ey. I don’t know. At this point in my life, I just assume everything is a pyramid scheme.” Joe Rogan talking Bitcoin with Sturgill Simpson in 2018. Of the two, I’d rather have Sturgill on team Orange pic.twitter.com/Ptq8wIxsl4 — Bill O'Connor (@bill__oconnor) June 7, 2025 At the time of that podcast recording (March of 2018), one Bitcoin was worth around $11,000. By the end of 2018 though, the value had dropped down below $4,000. So Sturgill Simpson probably wasn’t too upset not investing that year, since Bitcoin’s numbers weren’t all that flashy. But now in 2025, one Bitcoin is worth $104,000. Let’s just say Sturgill did hop aboard the Bitcoin train in 2018 shortly after that Joe Rogan interview. Hell, let’s use a handy dandy Bitcoin calculator and say he walked out of the studio and decided – on a whim – to buy $10,000 worth of Bitcoin. That investment would have garnered some unreal profit. $10,000 purchased in March of 2018 would have seen a return of 811.89%. In other words, that Bitcoin investment would now be worth $91,189, thus giving Sturgill a profit of $81,189. If Shooter Jennings was trying to turn Simpson onto Bitcoin years before 2018, there’s no telling how well Waylon’s son has done with his crypto investing. Just imagine Stu putting a cool 100 grand into Bitcoin (I’m sure he had that laying around at the time), he would have netted out over $1.2 million. Hopefully this story doesn’t make Sturgill (and everyone else who missed the boat) sad. My apologies if you just so happen to be reading this, Mr. Johnny Blue Skies. The silver lining is that Simpson did manage to correctly predict the another aspect of the future a short time after he made those Bitcoin comments. The country music threw out a guess for the future of commerce that just so happened to come true: “(What) if everyone agreed to an implant, with all of your info on it? All your money on it? (People would be like), ‘Cool, walk into your movie man.'” There are some chips like Simpson is talking about in development, from what I can tell. And there’s already this crazy palm reader technology at Whole Foods (and other modern storefronts) that allow for customers to pay for their items just by having their handprint read: Yea, microchipping your body because having to pull out a wallet and hand over cash or swipe a debit card was too much of an inconvenience makes total sense. You absolute moron. pic.twitter.com/9WcHf2wNwe — Five Times August (@FiveTimesAugust) August 6, 2023 What’s with the Simpsons – both cartoon and country star – always being able to predict the future?

The White House announced Thursday that President Donald Trump would make his decision to join Israel’s campaign to destroy Iran’s nuclear program sometime within the next two weeks. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt read his statement on the matter to the media: Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks. The president decided to wait in order to allow for Iran to negotiate a deal over its nuclear program, Leavitt said, adding the White House has been in touch with Iranian officials.  “As for correspondence between the United States and the Iranians, I can confirm that correspondence has continued,” she said.  Leavitt also stated that any such deal must include “no enrichment of uranium” for Iran. Enrichment has consistently been a red line for Iranian negotiators in the past. As Trump awaits a deal from Iranian negotiators, Israel continues to attack Iran’s nuclear program sites. Israeli airstrikes on Thursday damaged the heavy water reactor at the Arak nuclear facility, inflicted further damage on the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, and hit laboratories and centrifuge manufacturing plants in central and northern Iran. Iranian ballistic missile barrages continue to penetrate Israel’s air defenses, with one missile striking a hospital in Soroka and wounding more than 80 people. In total, over 270 people were hospitalized Thursday morning due to Iranian missile and drone attacks, according to Israel’s health ministry.

?? The Irish are standing up for themselves against the mass immigration agenda as majority of other countries are allowing the agenda to happen.

UTL COMMENT:- "If this guy is right" the men and women on that ship need to be both wary & alert at all times. Pretty hard to stop one of those hypersonic missiles! This will not be the first time that a US ship is attacked by Israel military forces. The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War. The poor marines and people (those who survived and are still alive) in the vessel are still trying to get some justice. This is history and cannot be denied. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident#:~:text=The%20USS%20Liberty%20incident%20was,during%20the%20Six%2DDay%20War.

UTL COMMENT:- Just as this world is becoming even more evil and satanic....
