Learning Is Love - Red Tail Hawk (JWP 117) npub1z4y76jl8r5d8p63defzedngv2nrp46jgt3hyuk5v533htrycm49q66zpx6 In this conversation, I spoke with Red Tail Hawk, and we explored the themes of education, homeschooling, and the lifelong process of learning. We discuss the importance of self-directed learning, curiosity, and the role of parents in shaping a child's educational journey. The conversation also touches on the impact of AI on education and the necessity of developing critical thinking skills in a rapidly changing world. Red emphasized that education should be about making memories and fostering a love for learning, rather than merely acquiring knowledge.

Another thing the Q1 bear is hammering home I need to create a higher yield on my time Cashflow from that is a natural defence from Bitcoin volatility

OpenAI and US Gov doing a deal to spy on people No surprises there

Biggest lesson of this bear market: When using Bitcoin as your primary means of value storage, the volatility to the downside is a risk to never forget, so if you’re ever considering large capex opportunities, such as a renovation, if, and only if, you feel wealthy enough in that moment of decision, you proceed, and you take all the money off the table to ringfence for the project, and manage a predictable cash flow I didn’t so this… I wish I had

This week, I spoke with David Parkinson, an entrepreneur deep in the Bitcoin journey, turning his passion into a reality. No-one said this was easy, but it sure is interesting! Musqet is a very exciting business, and an example of where I see things going long-term, with practical implementations of Bitcoin in the real world. In particular keep an ear out for his experience fundraising, an area I have more and more interest in. **Timestamps:** **0:00** Introducing David and Musket **0:29** Musket Bitcoin Payment Demo **2:56** Explaining How Musket Facilitates Bitcoin Payments **5:44** Defining a Bearer Asset **10:35** The Intersection of AI, Bitcoin, and Energy **15:34** David's Origin Story with Bitcoin **22:37** Adoption of Bitcoin Payments **32:51** Musket as a Trojan Horse for Bitcoin Adoption **41:51** Bitcoin Is Inevitable **47:10** Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs Thank you Best, Jake

Where’s that meme I saw recently of the Goldmans boss admitting AI has shortened 6 people’s work for 6 weeks pre-ipo by 95%?

Maybe there should be some editing done... npub1m7g4p6xdh9jf4ghjyvs8ks5l594j9aauhg3crdq98tpkxjezfvfsdvm0wr Interestingly, when we recorded this, I didnt realise how poorly prepared for a price drawdown so I wasn't ready "either way" A great case of you live and learn

We’re not wrong We’re jus early Bitcoin is a BUY

Do you think Gold can act as a slingshot for Bitcoin? npub1m7g4p6xdh9jf4ghjyvs8ks5l594j9aauhg3crdq98tpkxjezfvfsdvm0wr

Observation: for about 3 weeks I’ve been like a rabbit in headlights, frozen almost, fearful, as the Bitcoin price plummeted. Only now am I managing to wrestle back control of myself, and start to think rationally. Huge lessons being dished out by the bear mkt of Q1 2026… No hedge No backup plan No cashflow forecast No cash reserve No tracking of historical spending Sitting on a five bagger of uncrystalised gains for over a year, made me complacent, and I fell for the hopium of higher prices. 150/175/250/even the 400k that was banded around. I ignored my own advice. Classic ego move. I thought I knew better. I ignored warning signs. SCombined with shame as things went the wrong way Ahead I have commitments - Fixed capex in a renovation - Monthly expenses - Holiday bookings All of which just got a lot more expensive in Bitcoin terms Ouch Panic stations even Thankfully I’ve mellowed out. The situation is my fault. Avoidable. Yes. But reality. And mine to navigate. Your vision is to be a “word class investor” of humanistic, intellectual, and financial capital, figure it out Jake! I think the best part: all these failures, are areas I was wrong, and that I can work on for the future. The next time my net assets are 60% higher from here, I know exactly what I’ll do Reallocate to: - cashflow - cash reserves - cap growth - speculative - cap protection Ultimately I am grateful for these mistakes. Through failure we learn. Indeed, yes it’s at a cost to the balance sheet, but these lessons are a form of intellectual capital I am better for it The cost now, will actually make me far more financial capital in the future Lastly. Beyond blessed with my wife. I’ve made too many mistakes to list here, against her intuition. I was wrong. I will do better Onwards friends 💪🏻

"Everyone thinks they're great until they get punched in the face." Mike Tyson

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

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

How does Nostr make you "feel"? What is exciting with Nostr? Why build with it? So interesting chatting with people actually building on Nostr npub136jg2fnty2z5vwcnh7p4jpckrs3tk0dpueftgs7mznuuaenjpfps6tjnxf

Regretting past decisions as an investor is a tricky one Case in point: I am regretting not taking “more profit off the table”. Beating myself up. Anxiously checking price. Regretting committing to capex on a property renovation. Wondering if I’ll ever own enough Bitcoin…. Coulda. Woulda. Shoulda. Wallowing in victim hood is pointless The question is: what next? Need to evolve out of the emotions and get more practical What a journey! Blessed to have the space to make mistakes, learn, and iterate Capital allocation is an amazing way to learn if you have had a good idea or bad Good = an ROI to be pleased about Bad = your money’s gone Live with it Jake What do you think? Form an opinion and own it The regret is a signal to improve. The symptom to dig deeper. To learn more. To gain a better understanding The quest for wisdom was always going to carry a cost So long as you have a net gain on the way through then you’re all set Sending good vibes Our biggest mistakes often become our best lessons 💪🏻
