Love & Hard Money is my podcast about Bitcoin and ethics. I wrote a kids book that you can only buy with Bitcoin called The Winds Of Uncertainty. You can buy it from my website. The e-book and a video of me reading it aloud are free. www.satoshigeneral.com Bitcoin only dad, husband, business owner.

How has no one invented a good front door pepper spray deterrent. Looks like an electric plate but conceals directional pepper spray. Activated from inside with pull string to avoid boobytrap laws (it’s self defense if you observe a threat and activate it yourself. It’s a booby trap if it’s activated by a trip line). Pair it with a camera that only records to your local device and only when activated. That would do 10x more than most noise based security measures.

SHIT JUST BROKE. HUGE WAVE OF PRICE INCREASES COMING. PREPARE ACCORDINGLY. I own a chemical import and distribution business. Every time there is a disruption in global trade that leads to massive inflation I feel it 2-3 months before the headlines. Things have been tense for weeks but overnight the dam broke. Prices are up 20-50% on some products overnight. This is the stuff that goes into making the stuff that makes the world go round. Fertilizer inputs, antifreeze, break fluid, bobble head dolls. All of it is downstream of my business. Could just be a blip but it feels like it felt in Q12022.

I run a business. I have two rules that are non-negotiable for me and anyone who works with me: 1. Don’t lie 2. Do the right thing even when it’s hard. I’m not a boy scout. I compete ruthlessly. I exploit any advantage available to my business. These rules aren’t idealism. They’re an acknowledgement that you CANNOT build relationships on lies and misdeeds. The US Dollar is the biggest lie of all. I still trade in it but I’m trying to create a world where I don’t have to. Here’s why:

The best part of having a podcast focused on ethics and hard money is making my kids listen to it on the drive to school. Hard to have a 20 minute conversation with kids about why you shouldn’t lie. Easier to make them sit through my podcast. Leads to lots of great questions like “Dad are you famous?” and “Dad, can you please turn that off?”. “No” is the answer to both questions (since I try to practice what I preach about honesty). image
