I spent 4+ hours watching Lex Fridman interview Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram. I can’t stop thinking about it. Pavel’s charisma is subtle but powerful. He seems to carry a sense of ease, peace, and freedom that’s rare to see today. You can literally see the gears turning before he answers anything. Every word feels intentional. And despite English not being his first language, he communicates with more clarity than most. The conversation hits on many topics: freedom (of speech), privacy, censorship, health, money, being arrested and poisoned. If you’re into deep, meaningful dialogue and want to get your gears churning, this is a must-watch.

Looks like Jamie will have to eat crow.

Exactly. The fastest way to get more is to become worth more. When I was a recent college grad starting my first job, my priority wasn’t asking for more — it was learning everything I could about the role, then expanding beyond it. I focused on becoming the hardest worker in my group, then in the entire office. I wanted my work and my interactions with colleagues and clients to speak for itself. View quoted note →

It’s Friday. Be the wolf, not the flock. Try something different this weekend.

Can’t wait for the day I stop thinking for myself — the future’s never looked brighter.

If the day ends in “y” it’s a good day to stack

Congrats to @Lyn Alden for her recent appointment to Bakkt Board of Directors. They are lucky to have her. Her expertise in macro and digital assets is top-notch.

I’ve been loving @Isa ⚡️'s “Surviving on Bitcoin for 21 Days” series and watching The Bitcoin Café come to life. Her café actually inspired me to commission this coffee mug from my friend’s wife—and it finally arrived this morning. Couldn’t think of a better way to enjoy my coffee today. #bitcoin #thebitcoincafe

Happy Friday all, Real wealth isn’t in your bank account, it’s in the people who’ve got your back when everything else crashes. Those relationships don’t grow on autopilot. They take time, care, and your best energy. But none of it happens if you’re running on empty. Take care of yourself first. Protect your peace. Cut out the toxic. Build real wealth, the kind that can’t be stolen or spent.

Bitcoin dipped right as the clock strikes midnight tonight and my biweekly direct deposit hits my @strike wallet — Cinderella couldn’t have timed it better.

A must-watch. This conversation with @Luke Gromen really makes you think about where the world’s headed. We’ve got hard choices ahead — and the consequences will hit our kids even harder than us.

It’s okay for Bitcoin to be boring. Boring is good. It means the market’s resetting, building strength. Not every moment needs fireworks — sometimes holding steady is the win. Better to be flat in Bitcoin than sinking in fiat. Have a low time preference and step away from the charts and go live your life. Stop obsessing over Bitcoin’s price; your mental health will thank you. Our time for #Bitcoin rising will come.

@jack mallers is the CEO of two Bitcoin companies and still more accessible than most support teams. Weekly pod, active on X and Nostr — that’s real leadership. A man of the people. Great Pod this week!

Wealth = ENERGY x TIME Store it wisely.

Money’s just a tool. Too many people worship it and lose everything that actually matters: character, loyalty, health, and honesty. Winning means nothing if you lose yourself.

Good morning. New week, fresh start. Time to drop the bad habits, get back to the goals you’ve been dodging, and show a little more kindness to others and yourself.

I DCA into Bitcoin every night at midnight via @strike (no fee). Luckily, I don’t really care or worry about the price. I’m the end why do I care what price it is now when I’m planning for the future. The price of Bitcoin will only rise in the long run. Crashes just mean I DCA lower.

Who panicked last week? The “crashes” seem to get shorter and shorter.

Time and energy are your real wealth. Stop going broke trying to please everyone.
