This is so important.

When I look at the whole pie that is my energy output and subtract corporate taxes, income tax, sales tax, property tax, banking fees, insurance premiums, and on and on: it became clear that what’s left is a small, devaluing percentage.

My TFSA and RRSP barely tread water against inflation when managed by the bank. What did I do: I expended countless additional hours of energy researching and self-directing my small piece of the pie. I don’t enjoy it. As soon as I’m comfortable with an investing concept in the traditional markets: the rules seem to change. 2020 I said “I’m done with this”.

#Bitcoin (so simply) stores the value of my efforts, obviously, but it’s greatest recurring gift is the time it saves me.
