Net assets down 45% in 12 months
Not the result I was expecting, or like to read
Painful in fact
But you have to ask yourself: what did you get for that?
- time (no fiat employment contract)
- a house (2 years of finance paid up front)
- all daily expenses for a family of 5
- a 4 week holiday to US and Mexico
- and so much more…
Point being
Money is good for what it buys you
Money in of itself is just a number on a spreadsheet
So as I calculate my net wealth, I like to ask “what could this buy me?”
Plus, could there have been a worse year for Bitcoin?
Somehow the price hasn’t run
Hardly the behaviour of a bull market even
But deep down, I know the direction, I am just unsure on the timeline
At some point this thing will fly
So in the meantime, HODL, live your life, spend when you need to, treat yourself when you can, have a plan, iterate, embrace the failures, and come out stronger
The only person you’re trying to beat is you yesterday
It’s like a sprinter
Ignore all the others in the race
And just focus every where you want to go
Onwards

Working on a decision making process
Evolves around energy, how best to keep momentum, avoid loops, reduce unneeded stress, and be as productive as possible with your time
Everything is an investment
So every decision can be looked at with a return-on-investment lens
Thinking to write a series of articles about it
AI at the centre
But to drive efficiency
Not to be creative
A soundboard as ideas come and go
What to work on?
What’s important right now?
How does the future self-image I am working towards view this?
Ultimately it’s about being a world-class investor, of humanistic, intellectual, and financial capital, as only with all 3 do you build multi-generational wealth
A work in progress
Which I hope will mean I truly live the vision I have set myself
Let’s go!
🙏🏻
The “proof-of-weapons network” was a term I only heard recently
Makes sense
Now you see more bombs falling
Lots more to learn about it
AI is mind-blowingly good
But you really do need to know what to ask
So it’s like any tool
You need to master the usage
What Would Make 2026 the Best Year of Your Life?
Started thinking a lot more about “time is a flow” thanks for @rev.hodl
Am I cultivating multiple forms of capital at the same time? Reminder: even sleeping you’ve used your time
So how do you best manage your time each day?
Should I create some kind of process to decide what is highest roi place to focus?
On the one hand I get a bit anxious that I am not productive enough
On the other, I really love how the simple concept “enjoy the moment”, helps me to slow down
Nothing is more important than the present moment with my wife and kids
It’s empowering
Plus you can then throw in the idea of abundance, and the fact you’re able to literally choose your mindset
And the anxiety falls away
We can go create more
Create what we want
What suits our specific use case
And the tools at our fingertips to build have never been better
Perhaps this is where a healthy dose of intuition also comes in. Trust you’re going the right way
First example of stacking capital at the same time: infra-red sauna and “digital to do list”
Kill two birds with one stone
Plenty of work still to do on this
🙏🏻
Infra-red sauna out of storage and pumping away in our garage
Really is awesome
Highly recommend investing in one
What if making content is not about “making money”
But rather a mechanism to express yourself, whilst on your journey, whatever that may be
Unseen benefits come from opportunities and network growth, that happen over time, and off market
