One of the tricky things about bitcoin is that when you stack, your mental model makes you believe that the next stack will be similar to the previous in terms of sats. But when that comes around and you see that your fiat is buying less and less sats, you realize just how precious they are and how much less you’re able to stack. Our mind is excellent at assuming constants but totally fails to prepare for massive changes.

Try and imagine your $100 auto stack as $10,000 - it’s hard, the mind struggles to comprehend this.

True, but you also need to recognise that the true value of your stack always grows because EVERYTHING GOES TO ZERO AGAINST BITCOIN.

So either you sell EVERYTHING NOW, convert into Bitcoin NOW, go through the ‘pain and cleansing’ of abandoning the TOXIC FIAT world comforts (REAL BITCOIN MAXI) or you manage all other commitments in your life, waste less, save more, and keep diligently stacking. If you want some advice on the first option, I’m happy to share my experience.

You’ve got more than enough to start with.

Hi nostr:npub15j0jnkpuz74ajr8hefqma04dwpcv4jv8pmpg0z95rxlqctdr9jaqja3l0y, thank you for following this up, still finding my way in NOSTR and I thought your reply was to a different post. I’m going to write a post on this and tag you in. In the meantime start with this very simple hack (but the post will contain much more, I promise), starting from NOW:

ADD A ZERO TO ANYTHING YOU’RE GOING TO BUY AND ASK YOURSELF DO I REALLY WANT/NEED THIS THING AT THIS PRICE. If you don’t, don’t buy that thing and stack straightaway the equivalent cost in FIAT. Example: ‘I really love those board shorts and now are on sale’: original price $50, discounted price $30, what you tell your future-self is ‘if I don’t buy them and I stack $30 in bitcoin instead, in a cycle, it will amount to $300 for you, my future self. ARE THESE BOARD SHORTS WORTH $300 TO ME?! NO, stack $30 now! Move on to the next thing, rinse and repeat.

Try this mental hack this weekend with coffee, drinks, food, clothes, etc.

More and more radical hacks to come in a post. Thank you for pushing me to share and help people get free ✌️😊🤙❤️🧡💜💛

Yea this is dope. Will try it.

Lol honestly I feel like with this though I’m not gonna eat.

Lexus 11mo ago

But wait.

Okay. Example.

I wanted to get a camera and a laptop to for work. Lol how do I reason that. ?

I literally just bought a kite and a bar for ‘work’… I say this because wherever I travel around the world kitesurfing, I also teach to cover living expenses (which strictly speaking, I don’t need to do, but I keep stacking, it’s a mindset).

I could have gone for 2025 new models ultralight materials being completely brainwashed by the reels of the pros on legacy social media, etc. justifying that to myself by saying that ‘at the end of the day it is for work’. OR I could (and did) buy really good ones from 2023 still way better than my 2021 set (which I’m selling) and basically half the price of the 2025 models.

So in the end, I would have spent a a net 30%. I will stack the difference (or anything I can)!

Most 1-2 yo goods are only marginally ‘worse’ than the latest version. This applies to your camera, phone and laptop too! Stack the difference.

The sunset is free. 🌬️🌊🌴☀️✌️😊🤙

Lexus 11mo ago

Totally get it. Thanks for that bro

DoNotTrustVerify 11mo ago

All good ✌️😊🤙. The important thing is to stack the difference as soon as you save it and HODL for at least one cycle, Ideally for as long as you can.

Lexus 11mo ago

Roger that.

Focus on quality not quantity, a good glass of wine is better than 5 cheap beers. Stack the difference! A quality home made picnic at sunset is better than a cheap eat out at a fast food, stack the difference. DONT EAT JUNK FOOD and learn to cook, stack the difference. Calisthenics in outdoor training areas and hiking vs. gym memberships, stack the difference. I can go on and on, STACK THE DIFFERENCE FOR YOU FUTURE SELF, detox from unnecessary low quality FIAT spending addiction. Peace ✌️

This is the one right here. !

I usually try to practice the gentle art of letting go.

In the end, money is just a tool that should flow like a river.

Or maybe it’s just that I’m getting old.

Mind is not good at projecting big growth or exponential.
