That my future self likes my past self.
Buy more corn
A sports almanac so I can pull a Biff.
Don't trust, verify!!
This but only 2000 thru 2050
I hope my future self would be smart enough not to contact me, that would most certainly ruin both of our lives.
Short the dollar and go long business
stick to the plan, it works.
"Stop being a lazy fuck, and go do hard things. Also don't go to college and work for your Dad (a carpenter), you'll be better off. Also make sure you move to [state in which I currently live] by the year 2021 so you still meet the future mother of your children"
Sell more fiat for sats
Run a vpn from the first time you go online
Trust in your path and journey.

I kind of love how Biff’s alternate 1985 makes for a good lesson into the horrors of easy money
New message: "I meant bitcoin you dumb fuck!!!"
🤣🤷🏾
‘You were right to be patient and keep moving forwards’
It would be short and to the point like "You should of bought more bitcoin you dumb fuck"
Dude. But more Bitcoin! Sell your kidney!
Spend more time with others
Use your time wisely, especially with your loved ones and family. 🤙

I wouldnt send a letter to my past self. I needed to struggle to learn what I know now.
Love is the answer to every question. You won't believe me because you're stubborn, but you will learn in time 🥰
"You're on the right path, continue to have fun with the wife & kid(s). Adventure, learn, and don't procrastinate. Time is scarce."
something like that. don't give much away, as we learned in Back to the Future series, that it isn't good to know the future. just some reassurance if anything.
You did your best
“Study the damn Bitcoin from the very first time you hear about it. I cannot emphasize enough the study part and don’t dare ignore it”
when do I sell a kidney, house, dream car, everything and go all in on Bitcoin?
I’d hope it said…
Dear kid, I’m proud of you for fighting all the way through. You never gave into your fear and that enabled you to live a full life. It cost more than you thought it would, but in the end you won. We won. You helped a lot of people. If you hadn’t existed things would be worse for many of the people you love. You got what you came for. It was all worth it.
Hopefully that the decisions I’ve made to plan for my family’s future was correct
Have citizens of the world stopped working in exchange for counterfeit pieces of toilet paper?
Do they understand that their life is worth more than that? That their life is scarce, and immutable.
😅
Rich girls are sluts.
Dont worry about dying. Live Life
Don’t stop stacking Sats.
Stay humble and stack SATS!

At what amount can I stop stacking sats?

Self, get off your ass sell everything (even though I have nothing to sell 🤣)for more BTC and learn about tokenization, 2nd layer counterparty, nodes, lightning channels and a Nostr marketplace of some sort.
I can tell this is the future, just wish I was tech savvy enough to understand it all better.

I would teach myself the difference, and importance, between low and high-time preference investments, goals, and activities.
Never take personally and feel down by any adverse reactions towards you, that seem to come out of nowhere. The reality is, people see your potential, and those people are envious and do not want you to succeed. Be You.
Mars has no atmosphere, cancel that flight reservation.
Patience. Breathe and take a second. All the way from financial decisions to cooking. Take your time and be patient.

I don’t know what my future self would tell me now, but I sure now what I’d now tell my past self:
1) Worst first. Start your day by doing the important thing that you dread doing.
2) Success is much more about energy management than time management.
What I would HOPE to find in it would be the insight that I'm doing most things right and that things will get better, some advice on a better job to get, that is more enjoyable than my current job, and can partially pay me directly in bitcoin, although that I would soon be set for life anyway with the bitcoin I already have.
What I would EXPECT to find in it would be "there's no future, the rest of your life will only be suffering, and there's nothing you can do about it, it's best if you end it ASAP". (And no, I'm not doing that, as I haven't received any such letter yet, much less verified it's from future me... (Future me, please include future Bitcoin block hashes and a signature by my keys, regardless of message))
Hmm I got one, it just says 'buy MORE bitcoin'. I wonder what I mean by that.
