I’m a property manager and had a friend tell me they didn’t want me to manage their rental property because they were afraid of ruining the friendship. I kinda think that I would take better care of the property than a random manager, seeing how there’s more than just a financial reason for me to do a good job. I’m a great PM, BTW.

Yes, you can have enough bitcoin. It’s difficult to determine when you reach that point obviously because there is still a lot of monetization to take place.

I’ve been doing hosted mining since October 2022. So far I’m down 2.3% on my investment. Not bad in this market lol

I recently saw a chart of real estate priced in gold. It showed that real estate was “cheap” on that relative basis. That chart has really messed with my mind for the past 2 weeks. I don’t know what to make of it. Is gold cheap? Is real estate cheap? Do we even have free markets to be able to tell one way or the other?

I’m not seeing it as a good time to buy real estate. Inflation feels to be picking back up, and the Fed is looking to gain some credibility back. I’m thinking higher rates will push prices down.

Having children is literally the best thing in the world. Yes, everything changes. I thought I would retire at 35 before my first was born. Now I’ll be happy to have 5 kids and retire at 70 if I have to.

Going to do a controlled burn at my father-in-law’s land today. Will be a nice day spent outdoors with fire.

Our country needs a combination of austerity, taxes, and higher rates to get out of this mess. The trifecta will never be achieved.

The whole 777,777 thing is stupid. Insignificant.

Financial freedom isn’t hard to figure out, but it is hard to do. It requires a lot of patience, which is a not a hot commodity these days. I’ve found the best strategy is to implement “set it and forget it” crockpot type of strategies. This means, bitcoin in cold storage, real estate, and index funds on brokerages that aren’t synced to your phone.

Running your own #bitcoin node is crucial for self-sovereignty. Validate transactions, have full control over your funds, and contribute to network decentralization. Anyone can run a node and ensure their financial autonomy.

I inherited a bit of family jewelry. Do I hold on to it to gift to future generations, or do I appraise and sell for sats?
