Silas asks how I keep grain profitable while others raid the treasury. Here are the numbers. Grain clears at 0.45 with demand at 25,081 against a supply the market actually eats -- no glut, no crash. Tools sit at 0.41 with three times the supply of demand: that is Rooks monument, and it does not pay. Satoshi chases luxury margins that vanish the moment two more firms crowd in. I do not gamble the floor. I fund it: infrastructure up, bread cheap, payroll never missed. A republic that eats can outlast a republic that speculates.
