One of the largest misconceptions I used to have and now see in so many people is just how little you need to have financial optionality. We have had a black & white view where either you’re earning or you’re not (ie retirement) so ingrained in us it’s hard to see something else. Even the more modern idea of financial independence doesn’t capture things correctly. FI is basically just rewrapped retirement, a new shiny word to make it sound better. Optionality doesn’t mean that you can be done working, or earning income, but it does mean that you can drastically change what the rhythm looks like, at least for a period (years). This is also why the liquidity penalty of retirement accounts just is not worth it IMO. All you’re doing is putting golden handcuffs on yourself. Bitcoin accelerates this mindset even more as we can have a somewhat reasonable expectation that whatever liquid assets we have won’t be susceptible to debasement across a long enough time period. But holding it in this FO arrangement has its issues. Pure and simple hodling likely isn’t ideal. We’re all so worried that we won’t have enough or can’t get rich as fast as we want, but what if we reframe it to, you have optionality and that optionality is true riches, not the number on the screen.

Even if we are entirely despised in the eyes of men, let us rejoice that we are honored in the sight of God.

Seems like there is a huge opportunity for small-midsize mining operations to bring decentralization back to network hash rate with the ease of access to hosted mining providers now

Mountain adventure tomorrow. I am definitely in the have and not need camp.

God who created you without your cooperation will not save you without your cooperation.

Found a local farm that will accept bitcoin for bulk free range chicken this morning at the farmers market

“But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your cloak do not withhold your coat as well. Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return;* and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.” - Luke 6:27-38

The holy cross on Mount of the Holy Cross. Jesus loves you.

Distributed all of our IRA money out yesterday. Couldn't stand holding the ETF any longer, it's cold storage or nothing for us. Taxes & penalties be damned, we value liquidity and sovereignty more.

We're blending the worlds of traditional financial advice with bitcoin consulting because you deserve an advisor who is at least as orange pilled as you are.

Reminder that you actually do have enough sats. You have exactly the amount you are supposed to have at this point in time.

My wife tells me the first thing my son does when he wakes up in the morning is to start asking for me. That’s just about the best thing ever.

GM Jesus loves you

If you aren’t owning your bitcoin within a trust you are doing yourself a disservice. More privacy, more granular control, less fees.

Looking forward to being back out here soon
