Can you put a price on lifestyle?

An obvious point: the more chaotic markets are, the higher the pressure for market intervention Ie the crazier we see prices fluctuating, the higher the probably we see a huge stimulus package…

Where’s the bottom?

GM The more I study it The more I leave it The more I experience it This is a simple truth: WEALTH = TIME - Do you have the freedom to go where you want when you? - To spend what you want when you want? - To work on what you want when you want? In short: are you in control of your time? For me, now primarily a homeschooling dad, nowhere where do I feel more wealthy, than when I take my kids to a playground at 9:30 am on a Monday I’ve managed to regain control of my time For now Maybe in the future, this will change But the key is to enjoy it for the moment that it is I’ve managed to leave the rat race The Fiat fuelled hamster wheel I used to be there Indeed, I remember going on a holiday once, and it was a Monday morning and we were camping on the beach, and my friend and I were having a conversation, I commented that I couldn’t remember the last time I wasn’t in the office on a Monday His reply really struck me He couldn’t remember the last time he was in an office on a Monday That was many years ago now But it was a big influence on me Cheers to regaining control of your time Long may this last 🙏🏻

Hey @Maple I am trying to have a long conversation, adding data, tracking food, for my physical health It’s already been awesome But I am finding the app to be very slow on iOS I get nothing on the screen for ages, or a question just is never answered What can I do to speed it up?

From my meditation note this afternoon: “Figure out how to make your money work even harder for you” Bitcoin in self-custody is the base case, the hurdle rate, so the challenge is to add to your stack, with reasonable risk, and crucially, without consuming lots of your time How?

Not gonna lie The bearish vibes today have sunk their claws in - in the shower - at the coffee machine - right now The emotions are so interesting to witness. “I’ve totally fucked up, this Bitcoin thing is going to go so badly, everyone was right” type thoughts cross my mind Did I allocate correctly? What if I am wrong? What is going to happen? Fascinating In spite of many years down the rabbit hole riding this crazy thing that is Bitcoin So here’s a note to recognise To observe I witness this emotion, this feeling, this moment It’s dark It’s cold It’s sad And you know what? It might get a whole lot worse Mid 70s - maybe Mid 60s - maybe Mid 50s - maybe Time will tell… So equally it’s important to come back to: “what’s the worst that can happen?” And when I ask myself that, I know that it’s just fear, it’s silly, it’s irrational, my worst fears, they’re extremely unlikely So in lies the market People Humans don’t alway make sense. They don’t have to. And markets reflect that So back to the fundamentals. Are more people adopting? Yes. Are more people building? Yes. Are central banks going to print more money? Yes. Are property rights going to continue to be eroded? Yes. Is the digitalisation trend intact? Yes. Is the discovery of digital scarcity a once in a generation event? Yes. So as I said this morning. Get outside and touch grass. Good reminder to do that myself HODL friends 🙏🏻
