I started a group text with some of my pledge brothers that are also dads. Very good friends of mine, but it’s easy to lose touch throughout the years. This has been such a good excuse for us to regularly make contact. All we do is send pics of our kids to each other and talk about the ridiculous things they do. Highly recommend. Quite wholesome.

Some defi user swapped $50 million and received barely $30k of some shitbox shitcoin. 🤣🤣🤣

Now they admit lyme disease is man-made? Feels like there is a new absurd headline every week where regular people just trying to live their lives are significantly negatively impacted. It’s relentless. Just one after the other. It’s like a mass learned helplessness experiment.

Let’s not forget that the Iranian regime are terrible people. My best friend’s dad moved back to Iran full time a few years ago. He says the people hate the regime and would want nothing more than for them to be eradicated. So while I don’t like the idea of foreign intervention, this may be the most acceptable intervention possible. Where do you draw the line? I have no clue.

I keep asking Claude to stop saying the word ‘genuine.’ He says he’ll stop then like two messages later he’s right back to it. If you use ‘genuine’ that frequently it becomes way less… genuine!

Doing different challenges each month to switch things up. This month: no X Next month: no added sugar Other ideas: 30 min of sunlight every day, write every day, no alcohol. Anyone else got ideas?

36 hour fast is wrapping up. It went well, but I don’t have much interest in doing another. I’m not that hungry, but I truly miss the sensation of eating food. 🤣 Could be convinced with data showing it’s a slam dunk for health reasons, but until then, I’m good with 16:8 intermittent fasting every day.

72-hour fast begins tonight! Last meal: Braised short rib Mashed sweet potatoes Baked asparagus Bring on the ketosis.

I’m doing different challenges each month in 2026 to switch things up. February is no X. Couldn’t have been better timing.

I got a start9 with a shit ton of memory space and migrated my bitcoin node to it. Now I have an umbrel with nothing on it. Even though I’m a level 0 with technical skills, I’m kinda pumped to actually start looking into some of these open source self hosted apps. Something I would have never dreamed of doing not that long ago. Anyone got recommendations?

Three day fast to kick off Lent next week. Will be my first. Looking forward to it and achieving ~ketosis~.

Just listen to @Erik Cason if you ever feel bearish on bitcoin. Bitcoin is open source, peer to peer freedom money. Price is short term noise. Stay focused on the mission at hand. We are winning!

Just been trying to view things and live more simply lately. Feeling very happy. I think I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. Might be some type of correlation there.

Having a very hard time learning how to devote my remaining free time when not at work or with my 7 month old. Overwhelmed thinking of how little I know about AI. Wanting to dive into self-hosted home security. Read one book while I buy another three. Scroll/interact on socials. Feeling the need/urge to get back into writing consistently. Always a long queue of podcasts. All you parents that have mastered it - please give me some wisdom.

Thinking about my financial goals while I look at a bitcoin price that is 50% off all time highs. I don’t really have any immediate goals. The only things I care about are 1) retiring my wife to stay home with my kid (and future kids), and 2) ensuring those future kids have optionality in their lives. Helping them avoid the debt-fueled rat race. I’m pretty unbothered today. The ego took a shot, but other than that I feel largely numb.

I have started receiving the texts from distant friends and acquaintances reminding me that bitcoin is down. Pain is almost over.

Friday morning. Holding my two week old son. Badass wife enjoying a morning walk. Bitcoin at all time high. God is Great and life is good.

I am so damn proud to be an American. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

God blessed my wife and I with a son one week ago. George is the most special gift we have ever received. God is Good!
