So many people I know are currently going through such shit times. Trying to help in small ways, but it is super hard to watch their pain.

Are we there yet?
Take a step back and see that the world economy is on the brink thanks to Trump’s insane decision to invade Iran. We in for a really dark period, but sats will be on sale… so buckle up plebs, get ready to sell your bed to buy more BTC and stay humble.
This is not the pump you were hoping for.
How long could I keep my head down and do nothing before I get let go? Retirement vibes strong, corporate climbing vibes gone.
Probably a controversial opinion on Nostr, but now is not the right time to be aggressively adding to your Bitcoin stack. Grow optionality by saving cash. Build a spending buffer if your income gets cut, be ready to take advantage of any significant dump in Bitcoin price from here. Just stay liquid. No leverage at all. Protect yourself from an uncertain outcome.
The Artemis mission is an abject example of how shit institutional knowledge can be, even in high performing learning based organisations.
Buy Bitcoin. You never know when you might need to ship something through the Straits of Hormuz.
I have come to the conclusion that being a US Tech corporate pleb involves essentially doing the bare minimum, getting paid, and waiting for your role to be vaporised.
Been really working on increasing protein, cutting carbs and no alcohol or nicotine. Waist is starting to shrink and weight shifting a bit too. Now to get regular with Crossfit again.
Having an old dog can be rough. Sometimes I feel like respite care is required.
Living in Dubai has serious covid-vibes at the moment.
Stopping vaping is easier said than done. Insidious little buggers.
A crap company is still a crap company even if it invests in Bitcoin. This is the point that needs to be made.
I think @Michael Saylor was letting the cat out of the bag on @Danny Knowles WBD pod. Expect news from UAE banks sometime. They aren’t idiots and he has just been in Abu Dhabi speaking to them all.
Preparing for another year of underperforming and letting everyone down.
All the kids are back in the house for Christmas. Really great having them all home.
Downscaling to save money. Need to stack sats in these times. This is possibly the last turn of the roundabout for plebs like me.
