Útgarða-Loki
Description
The greatest illusions require the deepest strength to see through them. As Útgarða-Loki tells Thor, strength is not what it seemed:
"I shall tell you the truth, now you are out of my castle, and if I live and have a say, you shall never enter it again, and I would indeed never have let you in if I had known your strength beforehand, and you were very close to bringing us a great disaster. You see, I cast delusions on you, so that it was I who met you at first in the forest; and when you tried to untie the food bag, I had tied it with a magic wire, and you did not find out how to untie it. [...] And when you drank from the horn and thought it slow to sink, I dare say that was a miracle I had not expected to be possible; the far end of the horn was submerged in the sea, but you did not see that. Now, when you come to the shore, you will see what kind of sip you drank from the sea; there is now a sandy beach where there used to be water."
~ Excerpt from The Saga of Thorstein, Viking’s Son (Þorsteins þáttr Víkingssonar), translated from Old Norse. Part of the fornaldarsögur Norðurlanda (Legendary Sagas of the North), likely composed in the 13th–14th century. The scene mirrors motifs found in Gylfaginning of the Prose Edda, notably the deceptions of Útgarða-Loki.
I went to the Bitcoin Conference in Vegas with one intention: to be a fly on the wall. Since I was neither speaking nor volunteering—and I went last minute—I just wanted to feel the frequency in the room. I wanted to observe the behavior of individuals and institutions, and not only listen to what was said, but perceive the intention behind those words. Something I learned when I was training in Tai Ji Quan.
I brought some reflections. I understand that right now there’s a crack in the matrix, and if we are really tuning into its frequency, we can see what’s not working—and that’s my quest right now.
This is not financial advice. It’s an observation of behavior. A way I read frequency—or as I call it, reading Bitcoin sentiment or wavelength. And an invitation—if you use money, if you’ve ever felt the system is rigged, or if you’re simply curious—to pay attention.
You don’t have to HODL Bitcoin to understand that the monetary landscape is shifting fast. And the more informed you are, the less likely you are to get played.
I speak directly to people who may not be deep into the Bitcoin space (yet). I want to explain why all this matters—as an invitation to get curious and start stacking. The race is real.
If you’re already inside the space, you’ll find information (astrological and psychological) here that helps contextualize what’s unfolding. If you’re just curious, this is for you too.
Money makes the world go round. Whether we’re saving in Bitcoin, metals or debased currency or not, we’re all part of the monetary system—and that system is broken and shifting at an accelerated pace. The more informed you are, the more grounded you’ll be.
The landscape is changing fast. 2025 is not like 2020. This is a different terrain, and the terrain is defining the future.
If you’ve ever thought about saving—about how to protect your energy, your labor, your value, your time—this is the moment to begin.
And not in just any money. In H-A-R-D money.
There’s nothing stopping this train, as Lynn Alden says.
"For the next ten years, we’re going to be running very large fiscal deficits. So, the only way to protect yourself from that situation is to own the highest-quality scarce assets. Of course, the one we all like here is Bitcoin." ~Lyn Alden
