Just sharing a simple observation from my own life.

Maybe someone out there can relate.

When I lived on the fiat standard, my sleep followed someone else’s rhythm.

8-6. Dinner.

Workout/Self development.

Say GN to the baby.

Sleep early.

Recover well so I could perform again the next day.

Rinse and repeat.

Time and energy were scheduled around external demands.

Since living on the Bitcoin standard now for about three years…something quietly changed.

My body slowly rooted back into nature.

I healed.

My sleep is no longer forced.

It’s responsive.

Most days I sleep 4–6 hours.

Often split into two phases.

I go to bed when the sun goes down. Very early.

Then I wake up around midnight fully awake, clear, energized.

Sometimes I sleep again for a few hours till sun rises…

when my body asks for it.

Sometimes I don’t sleep at all.

Like tonight.

And yet I’m wide awake.

Focused. Full of energy.

It feels as if energy comes from somewhere else now…

not from “recovery for productivity,” but from alignment.

I feel happier & healthier.

More myself.

Not because I sleep less but because I sleep on my own terms.

Just an observation.

I hope you get a really good rest tonight…the kind your body truly wants& needs.

When I was trapped in fiat, I saw my daughter on average 7min/day.

Something inside me always knew that something was wrong.

Other humans called me successful because I successfully chased titles, fiat, and power.

But I never felt successful.

Those fiat trophies never meant anything to me.

I just executed because that’s what I was told to do.

Until I became a dad.

That was the moment my eyes opened.

Not Covid.

Not even Bitcoin.

Becoming a father made me realize I wasn’t present for my daughter…

just like my father wasn’t there for me.

That realization hit hard.

That was the moment I knew I was off track.

I’m grateful I found a way out…

together with a bunch of funny, smart, badass motherfucker retards like you.

Stay healthy & present.

This resonates with me.

I became a father in 2025. Trying to navigate my exit from fiat work in 2026/2027.

What gives me pause? If I didn't have my fiat corporation's health insurance, then I would be ~$3 million in debt from the life-saving surgeries my child needed. We're all very happy and healthy now that we are over that hump & healed...physically, but it was traumatic and the hardest year of my life. It has also been the most joyful year of my life. Absolute rollercoaster.

I was worried pre-baby how I would manage less than 7-8 hours of continuous sleep. Now my energy comes from a seemingly divine source of purpose to nurture my family. I made great strides in becoming less selfish in 2025, but I still have so far to go.

I choose to

Stay Grateful

Stay Humble
