🔥 Most people chasing FIRE are aiming for a number 🔥

$1M. $2M. $5M.

But what if the target is wrong?

Here’s why your share of 21 million BTC matters more than your net worth:

🧵👇

The FIRE formula:

→ Figure out your annual expenses

→ Multiply by 25

→ Invest in index funds

→ Retire when you hit the number

It works…if the system keeps working.

⚠️

But the dollar is a moving target:

💸 Debased

🧾 Taxed

⚖️ Politicized

🤝 Dependent on trust

Your “freedom number” floats in a system that’s leaking value.

Bitcoin offers something different:

🔒 Fixed supply

⚙️ Predictable issuance

⛓️ No middlemen

🧠 Just math and time

No bailouts.

No printing.

No permission needed.

Reframe:

Your financial independence isn’t just about how many dollars you have.

It’s about how much of the 21 million you’ve secured.

That’s your position in the next system.

📊

📈 Index funds grow.

🏠 Real estate appreciates.

But both expand:

New shares. New homes. New taxes. New rules.

🟠 Bitcoin doesn’t expand. It concentrates.

Every sat increases your share of the pie.

FIRE folks love tracking progress:

🧮 Net worth

📉 Expenses

📆 Time to FI

Try this one:

What % of the 21 million do I own?

It’s simple. Scarce. Measurable.

And it can’t be inflated.

The earlier you claim your share, the better. ⏳

You don’t need to beat inflation.

You need to exit it. 🚪

Stacking bitcoin = opting out.

FIRE says:

“Buy freedom with money.” 💵

I say:

“You need freedom money!” ₿

Start measuring wealth in sats, not dollars.

You might be closer to freedom than you think.

Your true wealth is your share of a system that can’t be printed, frozen, or inflated away.

Secure your slice of the 21 million.

Then go live free.
