Story time.

In 2021/22 I had a financial advisor who advised me to sell a majority of my bitcoin to pay off some debts and “diversify” (aka get poorer. At this point in my life I liked Bitcoin but didn’t understand it well enough to tell that financial advisor to pound sand and thus outsourced my brain and followed his guidance.

I read bitcoin standard early last year and realized the folly of my ways and began urgently stacking sats and saving exclusively in Bitcoin.

Financial advisors are stooges for MMT and the current system. One of the principles I appreciate most about this community is the idea of self custody, which can extend to all areas of your life.
