Your bank told you self-custody is too hard and too risky. Think about why they'd say that. They need your bitcoin sitting in their system because the moment you take self-custody seriously, they lose. The "difficulty" of self-custody just feels like an organic marketing campaign funded by the people who profit when you stay confused. Buy bitcoin. Put it in cold storage.

The biggest threat to bitcoin isn't governments, it isn't banks, and it isn't even quantum computing. It's the community eating itself alive. Maximalists fighting over things that don't matter, infighting on Twitter, gatekeeping, purity tests, all while the most significant monetary shift in human history is playing out. The banks are buying. The institutions are buying. The governments are buying. And we're arguing with each other?? That's the Achilles heel. Get your eyes back on the mission.

The concept of a “real asset” is one of the biggest financial lies ever sold to the middle class. You work to earn money, that’s the first job. Then you’re told you have to invest it wisely to preserve it (fiat games), which is the second job. They tell you to invest in traditional assets, but gold is useless, real estate bleeds cash, and stocks get diluted. There’s no asset that just holds your labor for you. Except one 🧐

Proverbs 22 says a good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children. That sounds like a standard more than a suggestion. Hard money, low time preference, generational thinking.

Your kids are growing up in a world where the best information is free, the best teachers are accessible, and the best money in history is available to anyone with an internet connection. The opportunities available to this generation are extraordinary. Our job as parents is simply to make sure they’re equipped to see and use them. This is why my wife and I chose to homeschool. (This is a game my son built with @cursor_ai)

Nobody taught you in school that the Federal Reserve is a private institution. Nobody taught you that banks lend money they don't have. Nobody taught you that inflation is a hidden tax. But they did teach you that the system "works" and questioning it is crazy. Interesting :)

The child who spends summers reading, building, exploring, and having real conversations with adults will outperform the child who spent those same summers in structured institutional programs. Unstructured time is where curiosity becomes competence.

REITs in 2026 are dumb. You’re buying illiquid assets, managed by people taking fees, denominated in a currency losing value every year. $STRC would be a much better investment.

The pace of AI and robotics productivity improvement are fundamentally incompatible with our debt based monetary system. Well said @lukegromen

Biblical marriage is a partnership with defined roles and infinite potential. A husband who lays his life down and a wife who builds with him is one of the most powerful economic and spiritual units in existence. The family is a foundation everything else gets built on.

Block laid off almost half of their employees today. AI is not going to take everyone’s jobs, but yes, it will be incredibly important for you to adapt.

Sound money produces long term thinking. Long term thinking produces strong families. Strong families produce stable communities. Stable communities produce accountable institutions. Inflating the money supply brings shorter time horizons. And shorter time horizons destroy everything downstream.

Is it really bitcoin?? How to evaluate bitcoin treasury companies

Schools don’t teach you how money is created because if you understood it, you’d ask questions they’re not prepared to answer. Ignorance isn’t accidental in a system that literally depends on it.

My kids will be the first generation to grow up knowing what sound money feels like. Bitcoin in self custody will allow them to never have to own a bank account. This is what I build for.

Is bitcoin going to become the world reserve asset?? Wdyt?

Most people think homeschooling is about academics. It’s not. It’s about who forms your children’s worldview: you or the state. So yes, my wife and I made the decision to be the primary influence in our four kids’ lives.

A lot of people stop going to church because they’ve had poor experiences. Here’s what I’ll say on that:

The most countercultural thing you can do is take full responsibility for what your child believes, how they learn to think, and why. People love to say homeschooling is “an escape” from the real world. It’s not. It’s the decision to send a fully equipped human INTO it.

1971: dollar decoupled from gold 1973: Roe v. Wade. Life becomes negotiable 1980s: divorce rates peak. Family becomes optional 2008: bailouts. Accountability becomes conditional Destroy the foundation and everything built on it follows.
