Grateful to have @RedTailHawk joining the podcast tonight We’re going to talk about education And specifically the use case for where I’m at right now homeschooling young kids Anyone have any questions for him?

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…

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 🙏🏻

Interesting how hard Gold and Silver have sold off Fiat pricing of assets is amazingly volatile

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 🙏🏻

Good reminder day: - price - value They’re two different things Whilst the headlines will be “bear market”, “Schiff is right”, “whales are screwing us”, “covered call yield players are the problem”, “I can’t pay for a coffee with it so it must be useless” There is an army of ethical, committed, and principled pioneers, rallying to the cry of “rules without rulers”, who buy Bitcoin regardless of the price Indeed for many of the market players, the lower the price = the better the value, so on waking up today they’re actually happy, buying more, and feeling blessed Bitcoin obsoleted central banks. They were never going to just float off after 100 years of monetary dominance It will get harder But see the value, and the price becomes less relevant If only I had some dry powder… 💪🏻

GM Today was the first day my eldest could have attended school Instead I took her to the playground with her siblings and the dog They ran They shouted They fell Some swinging, climbing, digging, and laughing Big day on the home-school journey, one I never expected to be on, but increasingly feels right Cheers to anyone trying things a little different It’s not easy If anything I am the biggest roadblock, my own pre-conceptions, and conditioning I must step into a new me A better me A more confident me I am a home-schooling Dad That is my job 💪🏻

This came up journalling tonight. I quote from my written notepad a section: "Scarcity is a mindset. You have time. Indeed, 100 - 37 = 63 years. Holy shit you have 63 years of life left. maybe more, of what 40 are very active?Business. Investing. Learning. Fatherhood. Husbanding. All of it you have to look forward to. Boom. This is the kind of vibe that makes me want to not care about Yt, X etc in terms of my podcast. Be niche. Go hardcore. Revel in that. Rebel! People have to come and find you. In fact, those are the people that you want to have listen. The pioneers. It's not about "popularity" it's about "vision", "value", and "results". Are you free? Or are you chasing the algo? Are you sovereign? Or are you paying for someone's lifestyle? Sure, it maybe the slower route. But maybe it's the more ethical, stress-less, honourable..." Guess I'll be doubling down, again, on Nostr and RSS...! I envision the podcast being something that people using Nostr get huge value from, and with that, as the protocol grows, so will the podcast. It'll be all about viral growth. I will think through how best to do that. Crucially, at the end of all this, or maybe not the end, but as it picks up steam, I will get to keep it, the key pair, npub/nsec, and I can leave it with my will, as part of an inheritance. A source of truth, and ID, in cyberspace, forever. Wow. What an idea GN

Do you feel inadequate about things you don't have? Great insights from npub1eawxwqldulz8rn80jug6n63seyn8pwelm9mmu7rdt622lfj7am9qgem0rx Episode live on Nostr and RSS feeds

Since October, I’ve been experimenting with RSS and Nostr only, as a way to publish the podcast It’s been awesome But I’ve got this niggling feeling that by not posting anything on YT and X etc I am missing a trick So I am considering a refreshed hybrid approach: - RSS - core publishing method - gets 1x full ep - Nostr - core publishing and promotion - gets 1x full ep, 1x clip, 1x segment, and my active engagement with the community - X & YT - secondary publishing and promotion - gets 1x full ep, 1x clip, 1x segment - IG & TikTok - secondary publishing and promotion - gets 1x clip per week Think of it like this: - X, YouTube et al = Market Street (high visibility, lots of people, and policed) - Nostr = Underground Network (niche, trusted, and totally uncensored) I could have an outro on each ep explaining that we’re a Nostr-first podcast, and to head there where I speak freely Key metrics to follow: - RSS downloads - Nostr follows and views Can I drive traffic to these using the status quo? 🤔
