There is something so powerful about “control of your response” For so long I blamed so many, and so much, for my own problems Once you go “fuck it, that’s on me to get over” things actually shift I own my emotions I recognise them But I know they’re ultimately my responsibility Which once you start working on, goes toe-to-toe with the fact that you are not responsible for the emotions of others Mindset is an investable asset Allocate accordingly 🙏🏻

What a way to spend an hour on a plane! @npub1hghnjjpnv… @npub1z4y76jl8r… First off, my wife and I always ask for “pat downs” with a medical exemption instead of going through the radiation scanners What a ride it is going through airport security, even for a domestic flight, fully frisked for “my safety”, paperwork at every step, talk about a conditioning process for the controlled Then there I am, in a small tube, going god knows how fast, looking out the window with my daughter next to me, thinkin about the past life work we had last year, and the story I was told about having known her soul before How lucky I was to get to know her again (long story, but I was a pastor in another life, and travelled to Australia once before, lost my wife and kids, and befriended a young girl who was bulk used by her own family. That same girl is now my eldest daughter) So there I am, zooming along, deep in thought, as all around me Netflix drivel is being devoured, and then boom… Red just laying it down - re-incarnation - Mu - archaeology - propaganda - plate tectonics - ufo’s - density - light Which ultimately got me thinking about control. The cypherpunks were so on point. The digital world is the perfect playground for control. Imagine trying to censor every bible ever written…? Now all you need to do is capture a handful of tech guys, and the narrative is yours. The romans in their quest for centralisation would have paid handsomely for such abilities A quick google search and it references “mythical” origins Scent expunged Gosh what a journey We’ve got to keep asking questions, talking, learning, teaching, and exploring. F*ck these scenarios where the truth is purposely hidden GM

The world needs more “mad scientists” @npub1f5pre6wl6… amazing work with your property So cool what happens when people point their attention in a certain direction, to see what comes of it… Humans are so creative, efficient, and brilliant capitalists if given the time and space

Cracking conversation with @npub160t5zfxal… Its so interesting how men, who previously thought they were fighting for freedom, are re-training their capabilities from military days, onto this nascent form of digital sound money, aka Bitcoin

One thing we’re doing in our renovation is creating EMF bunkers, so at least overnight you don’t get pumelled by the cell towers, WiFi, or lights. Paint, mattress, mat, curtains. So at least 8 hours a day you’re able to get some healthy sleep

Unbelievably important topic to study as an investor. What if your entire wealth stack has a high counter-party risk you don’t even know about? The beauty of Bitcoin in self-custody is you can be so confident that you actually own what you own Indeed, I argue that I see counter-party risk everywhere when I look at 99% of investments

Loving this. “You can’t eat sats” critical. Akin to “you can’t live in a Bitcoin” Makes me really think about some of the similar projects I’ve seen in Australia (and wonder where they got to) As a urban based investor, it’s also cool to consider how I could hemp with financing, so long as I team up with someone I can trust out in the field

It’s a fiat mindset, especially prevalent in SV VCs, that any product’s market must have the largest Total Addressable Market .. because they want the biggest return on their invested capital I would upend that starting assumption and focus on the unique niche market that will get you to cash-flow positive asap; iterate and evolve from there Successful Bitcoin businesses - generating free satsflow - ensure founders/owners have control and autonomy; this is under-appreciated in a future world where sats can only be mined or earned .. or received as dividends by owners/investors of such businesses

Top quality conversation gents. In particular, as we know, the requirement for option markets to exists for big money to arrive. Very exciting

Loved this conversation guys 👏👏👏 In particular this concept of “intervention” as something to not just be examined, but also fundamentally questioned Another Bitcoin podcast for the win!

    Bitcoiners will re-boot the world because as purchasing power increases, more and more of us will be able to bootstrap those “ropey” ideas - some of which will be validated by the market (most won’t) - and products that iterate from those will form a new and parallel economy 🧡
