You know what’s humbling?
Watching a child learn to walk
They fall
Again
Again
And again
They never give up
Until one day
They can walk
Probably a lesson in there…
Let’s not be afraid to fail, keep getting up, and try again
Onwards
💪🏻

Who’s the SBF of this cycle?
I am yet to get a call from a concerned mate that I talked to about Bitcoin
Maybe I will by the end of today
Ie it’s not hit normie headlines yet
Then it’s max pain
I always enjoy seeing how people bring their different lens of the world and re-apply it to Bitcoin
Josh - latest episode now live
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…

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…
💪🏻
