Do you know what the return on your investments is? Shares, fixed interest?<br/>2. Do you know why you get a higher return on shares than you do on fixed interest? <br/>3. Do you know why the yield on a 10y bond is higher than the yield on a 2 year bill?<br/>4. Ok. Let’s dig a little deeper. Do you know what the inflation rate is? <br/>5. Did you know that they under-report inflation? <br/>6. Do you know why? <br/>7. Do you know how? <br/>8. Do you know what the real rate of inflation is?<br/>9. Do you know how inflation happens in the economy? Where it comes from? <br/>10. So what’s the return on your investments after inflation?<br/>11. So your real rate of return is barely, if at all, outpacing the increasing cost of living?<br/>12. Is your salary increasing each year keeping up with inflation?<br/>13. So year on year you’re needing to take greater risks to break even?<br/>14. You’re just one person. Let’s just think about who else is looking for somewhere to park their savings or excess capital. (global population; instos; govs).<br/>15. What do they traditionally invest in?<br/>16. How do you think they feel about the safety of their investments in US Treasuries and assets?<br/>17. Did you know that the biggest countries like China and the BRICS nations, they’re no longer investing to the same degree in US assets? That the world sees the weakness in the USD, the shakiness of a system that has to keep printing money? <br/>18. What do you think they’re buying instead?<br/>19. Do you want to understand why bitcoin is starting to be seen as a ‘flight to safety’ by the biggest financial institutions and governments of the world?<br/>20. We’re still relatively early in the adoption curve. What do you think will happen to the price when all of those institutions and governments pile in and take over the 21million supply?<br/>21. Do you want to get in ahead of them or wait til the price goes up?<br/> 2025-07-25T04:36:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstsylaanjzld67km8m23frghd7pky9a7ytv06nvyfeka0df0zpuvczypa8jk0m0zu8skmg78vf52cvp7znqtk8tna28p76rmd6wkhaghtwu246h9c <br/>50 YEARS OF MACRO IN A NUTSHELL<br/>Inherent structural weakness caused by being the global reserve currency (triffin dilemma + forced open capital accounts)<br/>PLUS<br/>Monetary policy mismanagement (QE created inflation + low interest rates + prioritisation of financial sector over manufacturing)<br/>EQUALS<br/>*Weakening of US balance sheet, GDP, trade deficit and ultimately, dollar<br/>*Distrust of US economic dominance<br/>*Flight to safety<br/>*Gold and bitcoin adoption<br/>How am I doing? 2025-07-22T02:58:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdrzd5fqk9vmpl4zs93w34a5lnkyrjten7ka6tuk4lls6at0w6vkgzypa8jk0m0zu8skmg78vf52cvp7znqtk8tna28p76rmd6wkhaghtwumwq864 After a week in London catching up with cousins and a week in Israel where we also caught up with friends, I was struck by the size and closeness of the families we spent time with. 3-4 children each and 7-14 grandchildren, the regular get-togethers, giant cook-ups, sense of laughter and comfort with one another was striking to me as someone who grew up an only child, lived in 3 cities, 11 houses and went to 7 schools by the age of 15. <br/>In each case the man is successful enough that the wife could stay largely at home for the children&#39;s early years though most took on some work, study or charity work later. <br/>I&#39;ve enjoyed most of my life but I&#39;ve navigated largely solo, been primary bread-winner in all my relationships til the last 5 years and have frankly felt quite proud of being in a lovely stable relationship for almost 20 years and having brought up a kind, balanced, smart, funny kid when I&#39;ve been surrounded by many examples of pretty seriously dysfunctional families including my own.<br/>Having not been exposed to this big, close family dynamic much, perhaps 5 families I&#39;ve come across with a similar vibe over my lifetime, it gave me a different kind of vision and dream for my son and something that bitcoin can help him achieve. Emotional as well as financial wealth are a positive vision to hold in a fiat world where success via traditional avenues may be more limited. 2025-07-15T07:01:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg7twv8qzssh5fethmv3a4zdy2knszey44wks34cnpxy2uafyq9pqzypa8jk0m0zu8skmg78vf52cvp7znqtk8tna28p76rmd6wkhaghtwuhr903x <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/84b89dd9f4b071d114d29cd06e4235c5b1bf93cd774f0cbf6b4b055b17087a9f.png"> 2025-07-05T06:33:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst8st2jwmks54vk9mq8hkjjhk8cv2vrrj5y692n0mtfmv90pftkggzypa8jk0m0zu8skmg78vf52cvp7znqtk8tna28p76rmd6wkhaghtwuhxc37a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs003qzw8nag42m2tewghg3qqurnhjlqkwh5a5g6v0l6qx42gvfh7gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdu6xk35d'>nevent1q…k35d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Love &#39;satoshi in the shire&#39;<br/>Keep us posted on dates. 2025-06-29T08:53:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9zjncjuxq359aw4w6mdheymv90k0dcecg2sadecw3lkl6s48ddkszypa8jk0m0zu8skmg78vf52cvp7znqtk8tna28p76rmd6wkhaghtwun4qsqx Think of all the energy you use, day in, day out, week, in, week out, year in, year out, to mine cash from your job. Multiply it by the billions of working age people across the planet. Then think of all that human energy and initiative and life&#39;s work being stolen by governments across the world in the form of taxes and inflation to line their own pockets and piss up against a wall on war, death, pet projects and union mates of their choosing. All your life&#39;s energy, indeed all of human energy, taken... like that 🫰<br/>And your argument is that mining bitcoin, that can&#39;t be inflated or stolen, that separates money from state, that can&#39;t be frozen by your bank, that can be sent to family, friends and businesses across the world, peer-to-peer with no middlemen, that&#39;s incorruptible, that&#39;s harder money and more practical than gold ever was, that allows the unbanked to participate in society, that stabilises energy grids, monetizes stranded energy and lowers energy costs, THAT&#39;S the system that&#39;s a waste of energy! 2025-06-29T08:35:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs94c2duhuevcw83d9pxpfcztmvr0rm0puzyrdfttlx0svsg0m2z2szypa8jk0m0zu8skmg78vf52cvp7znqtk8tna28p76rmd6wkhaghtwucnstpp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9pvtmaqttzr359qq0854xj59s8gmukm6x2v4n6kakv73ea60s50cpupmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhj2v3swaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxumm5daeks6fwwa5kute9xgc8wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9ujnyvrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekjctdwd68ytnrdakj7ffjxpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6te9xgc8wumn8ghj7mnxwfjkccte9eshqup0y5erqamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7tjwvhxumm5daeks6fwwa5kute9xgc8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwv4u8getj0ghxxmmd9ujnyvrhwden5te0vejkuunfwgkhxtnwda6x7umgdyh8w6twhhx7uc'>nevent1q…x7uc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>mazeltov sweetheart xx 2025-06-20T08:52:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswqfdf0y6xtjfxw2ppcetam45jp3wu7y4lr75lx3f32ddtzq4hrcqzypa8jk0m0zu8skmg78vf52cvp7znqtk8tna28p76rmd6wkhaghtwuvcm7cq You dad hands you the choice.
