My fiat life: Top tax bracket, bottomed-out soul.

Long hours. Toxic culture. Climbing a ladder that led nowhere, except to replacing hundreds of humans with systems I helped build.

In the first photo, I had everything society told me to chase: the title, the salary, the stress.

I was grinding harder than ever, stacking fiat that quietly lost value... and calling it “success.”

My Bitcoin life: Free. Present. Playful. Alive.

When I found Bitcoin, not as a get-rich-quick scheme, but as a lens, I began to see the world differently.

Hard money rewired how I thought about time, value, and freedom.

I stopped trading my life away for a currency designed to depreciate.

Now? Life’s slower. Deeper. More human.

I bake. I travel. I breathe. I connect with people, with nature, with myself.

I’m not chasing anymore. I’m living.

Bitcoin didn’t fix everything. But it gave me the clarity, and the choice, to step off the treadmill and build a life on my terms.
