To choose discipline over dopamine. <br/><br/>I don’t want to waste my 20s watching Love Island, mindlessly scrolling TikTok, or watching football each week. <br/><br/> I want to understand the truth behind financial markets and why the system is built to keep us dependent. <br/><br/>I want to see through all the noise, stack sats, build conviction, become unshakable, and tell the story of sound money. <br/><br/>I’m not like the rest of my generation, and I’m okay with that. <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/6ad7e0fb086310c793ada0758e6def2a73dcd52d54018708b4c4a980a632f7b1.jpg"> <br/> 2025-07-17T16:47:41Z
