On Monday night, I returned to the Orange Hatter Reading Club meeting after a brief hiatus due to family emergencies.
Even though I had kept up with our current book, “The Hidden Cost of Money” by nostr:npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna diligently highlighting and making notes, I was amazed at how much more I gained from our group discussion.
The power of verbal exchange, debating different viewpoints, and relating the material to current events and personal experiences cannot be overstated.
It truly deepened my understanding and absorption of the book’s content in ways I hadn’t anticipated.
To all the women out there eager to enhance their financial knowledge:
• Engage in meaningful discussions
• Share diverse perspectives
• Connect theory to real-life situations
• Build a supportive community of like-minded individuals
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to your understanding of money.

Let’s empower each other through financial literacy! 📚💰

I know many American families who don’t have insurance.
When their kids get sick or hurt, their first question isn’t, “Where can I go to get the best care for my baby?” It’s, “How am I going to afford care for my baby?” Meanwhile, those close to the money printer keep promising all kinds of “free” stuff to other people.
Can you blame these parents for being angry?
At the Orange Hatter reading club, we’re diving into The Hidden Cost of Money by nostr:npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna to unpack how our monetary system got here and what we might actually do about it.

Our next meetup is Monday—hope to see you there!
Come even if you haven't read the chapter or the first half of the book.
Many of you who’ve tuned into my podcast interviews have heard me say: if I were still homeschooling, I wouldn’t be here talking with you today. My focus would be entirely on my kids, their education, and their well-being.
I started my journey with Free Market Kids and Orange Hatter initiatives only after my kids graduated and my time freed up. But this week was a reminder of those intense parenting days—one of my kids was unwell, and suddenly, my work had to take a back seat.
Juggling my work with Orange Hatter and Free Market Kids became quite the challenge. I postponed the reading club several times before finally asking a member to step in as facilitator. My mind just couldn’t stay focused on work while worrying about my child’s health and figuring out how to help them feel better.
This week made me realize just how tough it is for working parents, constantly juggling both roles. I was lucky enough, with my husband’s support and our ability to live on one income, to stay home and homeschool.
To all of you balancing it day in and day out—I see you, and I’m in awe. It takes resilience, patience, and so much love. You’re appreciated, and your work is nothing short of amazing. Be encouraged; you’re doing something truly impactful every single day. 👏
Highlight from this week’s Orange Hatter reading club discussing Chapter 7 of nostr:npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna's The Hidden Cost of Money:
Our money system affects how politicians act. They often choose to fix short-term problems because the system rewards quick fixes. This creates more rules and takes away our rights and freedom.
The people hurt most by this are those living paycheck to paycheck. They feel the struggle and vote for immediate help rather than thinking about long-term effects. This leads to more government control, including limits on how we can spend our money.
So, when we vote to ease short-term pain, we unknowingly invite more economic control.

Highlight from this week’s orange hatter meeting discussing Chapter 7 of nostr:npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna 's The Hidden Cost of Money:
How can we make sure those in power stay accountable to the people they serve? According to Jörg Guido Hülsmann, a German economist, the trick is to make the government rely on its citizens for money. But since the government can print endless amounts of cash, it doesn't really need us for funds. Because of this, the balance of power has moved away from the people and towards those in charge.

Highlight from our discussion of Chapter 6 of The Hidden Cost of Money by nostr:npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna this week inside the Orange Hatter Reading Club:
As professional moms, we’re constantly juggling—careers, kids, and keeping our families secure. But what about the long-term economic future our children will inherit?
Here’s the cycle we’re seeing today:
➡️ Government intervention misallocates capital.
➡️ Misallocated capital fuels reckless, unproductive behavior.
➡️ That behavior triggers even more regulation.
➡️ The regulations try to fix the very mess intervention created in the first place.
Sound familiar? This cycle of policy-driven problems is shaping the future our kids will face. It’s time to take a step back and understand what’s really going on.
Join me and other like-minded moms in our Reading Group, where we dive into these topics and discuss how we can better prepare for the financial world our children will grow up in.
Knowledge is power, and together, we can ensure our families are equipped for what lies ahead.

🧡 I just wrapped up an inspiring session with the Orange Hatter Mastermind Group, and I couldn’t wait to share some insights! 🧡
As Bitcoin entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves navigating unique challenges—especially when it comes to balancing our desire for privacy with the need to connect with customers. It can feel like an intense game of cat and mouse! 😅
Tonight, we delved into a topic that resonates deeply: the fears that hold us back from being visible as leaders in our field. The question we posed was, “What would we do if we had no fear?”
While each of us had different answers, they all pointed towards one common theme: stepping into the spotlight. ✨
What I truly cherish about our Orange Hatter community is the unwavering support we provide one another. We hold each other accountable as we face these challenges together, empowering one another to embrace visibility and authenticity in our businesses. 🤗
There’s truly no other space like the Bitcoin entrepreneur community. It’s dynamic, exhilarating, and daunting.
Who else is ready to step out of the shadows and into their power? Let’s embrace this journey together! 🚀

🌸 Is Government Intervention Hurting More Than It Helps? Let's Talk About It.
At our latest reading club meeting, we dug into Chapter 6 of The Hidden Cost of Money by nostr:npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna, and wow—did it resonate with our experiences! From zombie companies that survive on government support to how increased regulation burdens businesses, we covered it all.
One member shared how she left teaching because administrative layers kept getting in the way of what really mattered—her students. Another member expressed her frustration over a family member’s job at a government-supported company with mediocre work quality, while hard-working entrepreneurs struggle to make their businesses succeed.
We were all especially troubled by Bunney’s example of pharmaceutical mergers driving up medicine prices. It left us questioning the ethics of prioritizing profits over people. 💊
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by bureaucracy, government support for failing businesses, or skyrocketing prices in critical industries, you're not alone.
Join us in our reading club as we dive deeper into these important issues, share our personal stories, and work together to understand the impact of money on our lives.
