Here are some personal goals I have for 2026:

- continue to stack sats for my family and children and their future. Continue to up my custody and inheritance planning game

- relentlessly advocate for freedom tech/Bitcoin in self custody around the globe (authoritarians aren’t going to let up). This includes peer to peer payments, Bitcoin as resistance and freedom money, continue to advocate for an opt out of the fiat system and opt in to Bitcoin (starve the beast)

- focus more on my physical fitness again. Year one of fatherhood made that a challenge (unless bobbing around the room at bedtime or chasing my daughter counts 😅)

- get even more involved in my local community (if and when shit hits the fan, this matters a lot! And it feels good anyway).

- less wasteful time doom scrolling or focusing on high time preference models and arguments

- be authentically myself — not thinking what I feel others want or think I should do,nbut leaning into my gut of what I know I should do

- approach each day with appreciation, kindness, grace, and wisdom.

And most importantly — not let fear and darkness drown out hope and the good. The truth is I am incredibly fearful of the 1984 authoritarian hellscape it seems we are sliding into. But the good news is, there’s still something we can do about it. All of us, together. Never lose hope. We must be the change we wish to see.
