The 12 Steps of Fiat Recovery

There is a program that has, over many years, formulated a step-by-step path to a better life for individuals who have found themselves powerless and in despair over a destructive force that controls their future. Initially formulated in Alcoholics Anonymous, it has been adopted for overeating, drug addiction, sex addiction, and even in cases where addiction is not an element but simply a path toward a better way to live .

Henry Ford once said, “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” Henry understood the insanity of a system designed to destroy 2% of an individual’s wealth through inflation to maintain that broken system. Or, in the words of a more contemporary visionary, Jeff Booth, “Inflation is theft “

For some, the revolution has been underway for over 15 years, steadily gaining momentum every ten minutes with mathematical precision backed by energy and underway globally. Historically, fiat currencies have all fallen in value to zero. They have a predictable trajectory. For the first time since the dawn of man, a new form of money is possible. One that is not based on inflation and an unsustainable debt cycle.

If you are one of the ones who, when asked how you feel about Bitcoin, has started to wonder about money and its role in or lives, then you may be ready to take steps to free yourself from the shackles of Fiat currency.

1) Admitted, we are powerless over inflation and that our financial systems have become unmanageable.

2) Come to understand that the power of Math could restore functionality to commerce.

3) Made a decision to turn our savings into Bitcoin, understanding that it is incorruptible and deflationary.

4) Questioned our long-held beliefs about money, its history, purpose, and failings.

5) Admitted to ourselves and to others the exact nature of our financial misconceptions and the true cost of fiat currency dependence.

6) Were entirely ready to abandon traditional banking practices that enabled value destruction through inflation.

7) Humbly asked for guidance from those who understood sound money principles and took steps to learn from their experience.

8) Made a list of all persons we had advised to stay in fiat, and became willing to share our new understanding with them.

9) Made direct amends to such people wherever possible by sharing knowledge about sound money principles, except when doing so would pressure or harm them.

10) Continued to examine our financial decisions and promptly admitted when we were making choices based on fear rather than sound principles.

11) Sought through education and practice to improve our understanding of monetary fundamentals, seeking only to know what actions would best preserve value over time.

12) Having had a financial awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other fiat-dependent individuals and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

For those of you who have read any of my writing, you may have been waiting for my usual snarky, sarcastic twist on this subject. Not today. Some subjects deserve a straight take, and this is one of them. While I could crack wise about Jerome Powell’s money printer or compare fiat currency to a bad relationship we just can’t quit, the reality is that financial sovereignty isn’t a punchline — it’s a path to freedom.

The steps above aren’t just clever parallels to a recovery program; they represent a genuine framework for understanding and breaking free from a system that has held us captive for generations. For those seeking the usual snark, don’t worry — I’ll be back to my regular programming in the next piece. But today, I’m asking you to consider something more important than a few laughs: your financial future and what true monetary independence might mean for you and those you care about.

The journey from fiat dependency to sound money principles isn’t just about changing your portfolio but your perspective. And while that journey might not be as entertaining as my usual take on banksters and government capital abuses, it might just be the most important one you’ll ever take.

See you next time when we can all go back to laughing at the absurdity of the financial world. But for now, take these steps seriously. Your future self will thank you.

I am not a financial advisor, and this is not financial advice. I have experience with recovery and would like to share my journey with you.
