Not going to lie. The last week has been very stressful This too shall pass…

I wasn’t hedged properly vs a large Bitcoin drawdown Big mistake

One of the biggest lessons from last year: if you're sitting on a 5x gain, it means nothing, if you don't "take the profit", especially if the underlieing is as volatile as Bitcoin

I am a parent I am a problem-solver I am not defined by my portfolio value

Last night, as I struggled to sleep, the only thing that actually calmed me was when I started thinking about God A higher power Whatever journey this is that I am on, as I released myself to the experience, my nervous system responded with a knowing You’ll be totally fine This to shall pass The more time that goes by, the more open I become I would never have guessed this

You are not your money

Bitcoin is 45% off it's ATH in Oct 2026 My net asset calc shows 60% off ATH in Jan 2026 Why? - Bitcoin has drawndown - I've re-allocated to RE (an expensive process) - we had higher than expected expenses last year - we had a load of fun spending some gains But today, ooft, my net asset calc is very similar to 2023, so it's gone backwards in terms of the fiat denomination Hard one to take Barely slept last night in fact So, today, I am taking action, not surrendering A new short-term plan must be made The planned renovation altered An updated strategy to keep up momentum No-one said this stuff was easy Trying to step into my better self of the future Let's go!

Learning the hard way Bitcoins fiat volatility is very hard to manage fixed capex requirements This move down has really caught me off guard My fault My lesson Some hard decisions need to be made And tricky conversations 🙏🏻
