On the one hand, all investment advice highlights the importance of having patience, it’s time in the market. But at the same time I struggle to reconcile this with an investment that is 60% down. Having conviction is one way of looking at it, pig-headed determination in the face of overwhelming evidence is another.

Bitcoin class of 2017, Nostr class of 2023, Retirement class of 2035
Honestly…. Wen 250k
When I think back on the 2017/8 bitcoin/ICO times I am always amazed at what I thought at the time!
Comfort got you here, discomfort will get you out,
Stop eating your emotions.
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.
