If you have kids or plan to, hear me: 6,570 days until they’re 18, gone faster than shadows shifting across the floor. You can’t DCA your way into more time with them later. Parenting isn’t a job. It’s the ontological transformation the same way Bitcoin transforms how you think about money: both require you to become someone different, someone with lower time preference and higher conviction.

Stack sats for their future, sure, but stack presence for their formation. This double investment is where it starts. The rest is distraction.

This is the exact place I am explaining right now. The blend of humanistic and financial capital. What is the correct allocation?

I was just reflecting because my 17 yr old has about 10 days until he’s 18. It went fast. The correct allocation I think is whatever keeps you from waking up at 45 realizing you optimized for the wrong stack. I’d rather have a kid who knows I showed up with 0.1 BTC to leave them than one who inherits 10 BTC but needed therapy to process my absence.

Financial capital without relational capital just funds someone else’s future. The sats compound automatically; your kid’s formative years don’t.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. And congrats on stewarding someone to their 18th bday!

This is our goal, and what I'm doing right now. I consider getting a job because we need money, but then I look at my son and ask God to bless our book sales instead, cause I don't wanna go anywhere!

This is also why we love in America and not Sweden, because we can homeschool here, and it's illegal there!

Exactly this. We homeschooled for this reason. You can’t outsource formation and expect to inherit the relationship. When you control the time, you control the culture being built into them. It’s the ultimate low time preference move: trading conventional efficiency for actual legacy. The ROI isn’t measurable in any spreadsheet, but it’s the only number that actually matters.

Point me to your book. I'll read it. In the mean time, zaps for you...😃.

Check out FikaTimeBooks.com we have several books between my husband and I. We're working on putting them all up for sale for sats, but if you'd like one that's not available for sats yet, let me know and you can buy it directly from me! 🤗
