Understanding Bitcoin is hard when people haven’t first taken the time to understand how the fiat system works. Instead of exploring alternatives that might solve real problems, it’s often easier to dismiss them. But meaningful change starts with curiosity, not ridicule.
I’m fine getting called a grifter, clown, idiot and many more names. But at least I have hope and conviction the future can be better.

Lately it feels like we’re at peak information overload.
So much noise. So many takes. Always something new demanding attention. At some point it stops being helpful and just becomes exhausting.
Maybe we don’t need more information…maybe we need a break.
Anyone else feeling that?

If you aren’t willing to put in the effort to truly learn something, you don’t deserve the knowledge yet…you’re not ready for it.
You can lead a horse to water…
Curiosity, humility, and work are the price of understanding.
Knowledge isn’t handed out.
It’s earned.

It’s a reminder that money mostly scales comfort and experiences, not fulfillment or meaning. Many of us are already richer in time, relationships, and everyday joy.
A yacht or a rowboat still puts you on the water. A private jet or a commercial seat still gets you there. Real wealth, for most people, shows up in relationships, presence, and enjoying small things without needing more.

Bitcoin is…
• saving without permission
• money that protects your time + energy
• money you can trust not to change
• a peaceful opt-out
• certainty in an uncertain system
That’s an oversimplification.
Everyone decides what money is valuable to them.
For many Bitcoiners, fiat simply has less value.

It’s the modern version of a cash discount. Credit cards are expensive for merchants: fees, chargebacks, fraud. Bitcoin avoids all of that, so offering a discount for paying in Bitcoin is simply aligning incentives.

I spent 4+ hours watching Lex Fridman interview Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram. I can’t stop thinking about it.
Pavel’s charisma is subtle but powerful. He seems to carry a sense of ease, peace, and freedom that’s rare to see today. You can literally see the gears turning before he answers anything. Every word feels intentional. And despite English not being his first language, he communicates with more clarity than most.
The conversation hits on many topics: freedom (of speech), privacy, censorship, health, money, being arrested and poisoned.
If you’re into deep, meaningful dialogue and want to get your gears churning, this is a must-watch.

Exactly. The fastest way to get more is to become worth more.
When I was a recent college grad starting my first job, my priority wasn’t asking for more — it was learning everything I could about the role, then expanding beyond it. I focused on becoming the hardest worker in my group, then in the entire office. I wanted my work and my interactions with colleagues and clients to speak for itself.

My kids really got into Rick Riordan’s universe — they started with Percy Jackson and the Olympians (5 books), then moved on to The Heroes of Olympus (5 books), followed by The Trials of Apollo (5 books), and finally Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard (3 books).
Magnus Chase is based in the Norse pantheon, but it connects back to the main world — you’ll even see characters like Annabeth and Percy pop up. The stories build on each other, so it’s best to read each series in order before moving on to the next.

“We will have to work harder if we want to preserve the scope of social insurance without leaving even more burdens on future generations at the same time.
Germany’s Council of Economic Experts recommends gradually raising the retirement age from 67 to 73 by 2060 to prevent the social security system from collapsing. The proposal aims to address economic stagnation, low productivity, deindustrialization, and demographic challenges that require people to work longer to maintain economic output.

You’d be surprised how many people quietly feel the same way. The system we work in today rewards profit and “efficiency” over well-being. Most employees, especially in public companies, live with the constant fear of being replaced or cut. It’s even tougher later in your career, when experience and higher pay start to feel like liabilities instead of assets.
You’re absolutely righ, checking in, listening, and showing real care for each other matters more than ever. Sometimes just being heard can make all the difference.

Happy beautiful Sunday. I’m blessed to see another sunrise on this beautiful Earth.
Had a #Bitcoin chat today with my developer friend — the one who got a Strike wallet a couple months ago and started dollar-cost averaging (mostly, I think, just to get me off his back rather than out of real conviction).
His (predictable) takes on Bitcoin as “money” were:
• It’s still mostly a speculative asset, not a stable medium of exchange
• Too risky and volatile.
• Most people are naturally risk-averse
• Most Bitcoiners are in it for profit
• The U.S. dollar, historically, has been relatively stable
I used my standard lines to strike down these comments. How do you address these questions to your family and friends? It’s amazing why when it comes to money it’s so hard to show them why they are losing even though they see it. I get that it’s a change to a system as old as time. But throughout history money has changed. We are lucky enough to be witnessing and being part of the version upgrade in our lifetimes.

I’m with you on everything except number five. In the U.S., we pay capital gains tax. The wealthy don’t, because they borrow against their assets instead of selling. We’ll never want to sell our bitcoin either, but we’ll still need to spend it somehow. That’s where borrowing or lending it out comes in. We’ll either loan our bitcoin to those who ignored us today, or borrow against it ourselves at low rates.

Sunday vibes: soccer with the kids, birthday fun, home-cooked food, and some NFL.

I’m using Obsidian with Syncthing in Proxmox to sync between my devices. It’s been wonderful. I’m slowly moving off Notion. It’s subsciptionless, free, and all data is stored in my homelab.

Forget generational wealth. Just keep stacking, stay humble, and live within your means.
