What the First Crypto Apostles Taught Us

FmpPerspective

I absolutely despise any correlation between religion (especially Catholicism) and Bitcoin. There is a disturbing trend of portraying Bitcoin or Satoshi as gods, using parables and terms from the Bible to describe Bitcoin-related concepts. This is not only blasphemous and disrespectful but also makes Bitcoin enthusiasts sound like a cult.

🇧🇷 The 2025 INSS Fraud Scandal: Lula Is Responsible

>aiming to achieve a unified Latin America.

Fix'd.

![](https://m.stacker.news/93989)

The massive fraud in Brazil’s Social Security system (INSS) in 2025; costing the country billions; didn’t happen in a vacuum. It happened under President Lula, under his watch, under his government, and under a system entirely controlled by his political allies.

He is the president. The Congress plays his game. The Supreme Court shields his agenda. And the majority who voted for him put this structure in place. So yes, **Lula is responsible.**

## What happend;

In early 2025, Brazil was hit by a massive corruption and fraud scandal within the INSS (National Institute of Social Security). Investigations uncovered that billions of reais were drained from public funds through fake benefit claims, ghost pensions, and collusion between insiders and external fraud networks.

The fraud had been going on for years, but it exploded in scale during Lula’s third term, amid a lack of oversight, weak digital controls, and political negligence. Whistleblowers and auditors flagged irregularities multiple times, but nothing was done.

Brazilian citizens who depend on the INSS (mostly old people, as INSS is basically their retirement) are now paying the price. Delays in payments, suspended benefits, and public distrust have increased, while those responsible remain protected by political alliances. The fraud is not an isolated case. It is the result of a centralized, unaccountable system led by a government that refuses to take responsibility.

## Who is Lula?

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, commonly known as Lula, is the current President of Brazil and the most prominent figure in the Brazilian Workers’ Party (PT), a left-wing political party founded in the early 1980s. Lula has served as President of Brazil **three times,** making him one of the most prominent and controversial political figures in the country's modern history.

Lula’s political formation is deeply rooted in **leftist and Marxist-inspired labor movements.** He emerged as a union leader during Brazil’s military dictatorship and helped found the PT with a mix of Marxist intellectuals, union leaders, and progressive Catholics influenced by liberation theology. While Lula has denied being a Marxist in the doctrinaire sense, many of his policies and political alliances reflect anti-capitalist rhetoric and a strong focus on state-led economic planning and social redistribution.

He is one of the key figures associated with the *Foro de São Paulo,* a regional political forum created in 1990 by the PT and Cuba’s Communist Party, with the goal of coordinating Latin American left-wing parties and movements, aiming to achieve a  The Foro has included socialist and communist parties across the continent, including regimes in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. Critics argue that this forum promotes ideological and political solidarity among authoritarian or populist left-wing governments.

---

This isn’t just a “technical failure”, a “bureaucratic hiccup.” It’s the predictable result of a government obsessed with ideological control, centralized power, and populist speeches, instead of real reforms, digital transparency, and strong oversight.

The INSS scandal is not only a financial disaster, it’s a moral failure of leadership. And it exposes the true cost of putting party loyalty and socialist slogans above competence, accountability, and the Brazilian people.

The Supply Shock will be TREMEDOUS

Yeah, almost unbelievable. Bitcoin is already the 5th biggest asset, and the 11th biggest currency compared to fiat currencies, just surpassed the brazilian real. 
When Bitcoin surpasses the mcap of gold, it will be the 4th biggest currency amongst them, surpassing  Japan's yen.

There is only 2.18M BTC on exchanges. If we achieve 50% of Bitcoin adoption (4B people), that means only 54,500 sats/person, if divided equally. 

![](https://m.stacker.news/93879)

If we distribute this by a simplified global income model, divided into quintiles (20% segments), we have:


>🎩 Top 20% (wealthiest): 225,358 sats/person

>💰 Second 20%: 31,883 sats/person

>💼  Middle 20%: 8,448 sats/person

>🧢 Fourth 20%: 4,088 sats/person

>🍜 Bottom 20% (poorest): 2,725 sats/person

Considering data from the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report and other sources like the World Inequality Database.
  >  Top 20% → controls ~82.7% of wealth
    Second 20% → ~11.7%
    Middle 20% → ~3.1%
    Fourth 20% → ~1.5%
    Bottom 20% → ~1.0%

With 0.1 BTC (10,000,000 sats), you would be in approximately the top 0.2% globally in this 4-billion-user adoption model. Remember to self custody your coins.

The story is absolutely brilliant. 
The most I can say without spoilers is that this is a story about a man who was born with an extraordinary sense of smell, and he spends his life trying to reproduce the aroma of a woman he encountered, going to extreme lengths to do so. No wasted dialog, the whole movie feels like a good, poetically dark fairy tale. The cinematography is stunning, and the set pieces and scenery are beautiful and immersive.

Recommend/10.
