The Room for Growth project
The Room for Growth project
The aim of the Room for Growth project is to produce concrete proposals for growth in the private business sector. Here are mine, plus the usual ramblings about clown world, Im bullish long-term.
The Room for Growth project launched by Prime Minister Petteri Orpo is opening an online survey to gather proposals for boosting economic growth. The survey will be available from 28 October to 24 November and is open to representatives of organisations and private individuals. The aim of the survey is to come up with ideas on how to promote sustainable economic growth*, especially in the business sector.
Well, the PM is asking for help, so let's help! It's perfect timingβI just wrote my blueprint for surviving this mess: the Service business update 7 and the baby steps blueprint. So, letβs continue the ramblings.
Look, I get it. We all want to believe in Santa Claus. "Economic turnaround next year! For sure this time!" How many times have we heard that bullshit?
We're at peak clown world. Competency is at an all-time low. Our "leaders"? Weak men in expensive suits. Look at the EUβ¦
But that's exactly why I'm getting a boner about the future. History doesn't lie - peak weakness creates strength. This extra-potent level of clown world we're living through? It's brewing something special. I can feel it in my asshole.
This isn't hopium. The tools are already here:
Bitcoin: Best savings protocol on the planet
Free speech: Despite their best efforts to kill it
Decentralization: Can't stop the signal
Yeah, the next decade will be shitty. But that's how it works - hard times, strong menβ¦
My proposal for the Prime Minister.
Sustainable growth comes from local businesses and from people. Not from the government and big corporations.
Finland's economic resilience depends on its small businesses. Who gets to pay for all the wonderful sustainability startup subsidies? Big billion euro energy subsidies for eg UPM?
1. Implement "Growth First" taxation.
Tax only when profits are taken out. Zero tax on profits reinvested into business growth (equipment, hiring, R&D)
Stop punishing success and start rewarding reinvestment
Let businesses build capital reserves instead of forcing immediate profit extraction
2. VAT TAX
For f*ck sake, make a plan that it stays the same for the next decades; oh, we raise it next 3 months. We need more revenue! Idiots. How can I, as a small entrepreneur, invest here?
Create a predictable, long-term tax environment.
Stop using small businesses as emergency piggy banks
3. Simplified employee hiring process for companies under ten (expand it then, people will want to work only for small companies) employees
Again, why would I hire more people?
Sure, it is easy when you are +50 people company. You don't have to care about anybody; everybody is buried under bureaucracy, and people are just numbers...
Make it possible for small businesses to grow organically.
4. Future-proof Finland's Economy: Bitcoin Strategy
Establish regulatory clarity for Bitcoin businesses
Create Bitcoin mining incentives using excess renewable energy
Build Bitcoin reserves as a hedge against EU monetary uncertainty
Position Finland as the Nordic Bitcoin hub while others still hesitate
Bitcoin strategy gives average citizens access to sound money and wealth preservation
Benefits:
Encourages sustainable local business growth
Incentivizes reinvestment over-extraction
Keeps wealth circulating in communities
Creates real, sustainable jobs
Reduces dependency on government subsidies (No corporate subsidies needed)
Enables capital formation for small businesses
Promotes organic business scaling
Positions Finland for future financial innovation
People and companies will figure out how to overcome this stagnant period and grow the common pie. Just stop making it harder and more of a βclown world.β
The bottom line: Trust your entrepreneurs and people. We build real businesses, create real jobs, and solve real problems. Get out of our way and watch the economy grow.
I hope the government reads my proposal and offers me the help I clearly need. Maybe some subsidized therapy sessions will cure my dangerous ideas about freedom and personal responsibility.
Well, the path out of the clown world wonβt be easy. The EU competitiveness report offers more government as a solution.
If taking more debt, enforcing more regulation, and implementing zero interest rates would work, the EU would be a success story; sadly, it is not.
Financial repression will accelerate. The digital euro will be the peak. What problem is it trying to solve? Exactly, it solves nothing.
Stagflation & Financial repression to an unrelenting productivity boom
Lost decade (look at the big corporations, government workers, etc. How inefficient they are, and the majority is doing completely bullshit bureaucracy work?)
EU could break (maybe it has to break)
After every period of peak bureaucracy, peak weakness, peak clown world - what follows? Look at the USA in the 1950s. After the depression, after the war, after all the government "solutions" failed - boom. It could be similar to Europe.
Post-EU boom cocktail is already brewing:
Bitcoin for sound money (while they're still planning their digital surveillance coin)
AI to demolish bureaucratic bullshit jobs (sorry, paper pushers)
A generation that knows how to leverage both
The path through the clown world isn't easy. But the harder they push their "solutions," the clearer it becomes.
Stay hard, and keep stacking sats while the circus plays on.
