When I first started The Rage, a lot of people asked me how I thought I could make a difference by bootstrapping a new publication in a space that was already well saturated with big names who were well funded, widely read, covered big stories and had super successful journalists. What would I do differently than what the others had been doing?

I told them that my editorial policy would be this

I don't follow at all. Did you mean to reply to me?

I was making a joke about how disgusting avocados are. I'm also carnivore...

Pro tip: stop having bad posture. You look like a weak fucking idiot.

Are you tired of winning yet

The developer who was arrested last night in Turkey was arrested over his contributions to a paper and open source software that assessed privacy on Ethereum and Tornado Cash.

Dark times, my friends. Dark times.

Dear god help us

Genuinely agreeing with Bailey here.

What changed Trump's mind on Bitcoin likely wasnt that he finally got that it would make him a ton of money (which he has off the back of unsuspecting people investing in his world liberty nonsense).

What changed Trump's mind on Bitcoin was that he understood how he could use stablecoins to leverage unprecedented control over the rest of the world.

Imagine every bank in the developing world replaced with US led fintechs that can be turned on and off with the switch of a button. Every transaction becomes traceable, freezable, executable and deniable on the behest of a country that's entire existence hinges on meddling in other country's politics.

Instead of selling debt to leaders, Dollars get issued directly to the wallets of consumers. It's the IMF on steroids.

For Trump, Bitcoin is indeed a trojan horse, just not the way you think.

If the devs behind Payjoin get dragged in front of the SDNY, will the community stand up for freedom?

I need your help.

The #Bitcoin Café’s getting a signature drink… but I don’t want to name it myself.

Drop your best name ideas in the comments — coffee puns, Bitcoin memes, whatever you’ve got.

In a couple of episodes, I’ll pick my top favorites, throw them in a hat, and pick a winner.

If your name gets chosen, it’s going on the menu forever… and I’ll send you some sats as a thank-you.

So make it good!

Are you guys hearing a lot about this ‘Apeel’ stuff funded by the Bill Gates Foundation?

Anything with the ‘Bill Gates’ name near it and my senses go on high alert.

It is some sort of invisible coating now approved for use on fresh fruit and vegetables in Australia…edible coating made from mono and diglycerides (derived from soy, canola, or palm oils) to be more precise.

There is no mandatory labelling

No long term safety studies on gut health

Banned in certified organic supply chains in Australia but I have not verified this…

Have a great day

Bitcoin wealth levels and primary focus:

Stage 1: You have less than $1 million worth of BTC

Primary focus: Capital Accumulation

Get to $1 million worth of BTC as quickly as you can.

Today that's 8.69 BTC.

Soon it will be 6.15 BTC.

Then 1 BTC.

Stay laser-focused on your business until you bank your first 7 figures.

Do not waste your finite time and attention thinking about trading in and out of assets at this level.

You should be stack-only.

Focus on being useful to others like the robots are coming for your job.

Because they are.

Don't think the path you're on will get you where you need to go?

Then change your path.

Channel your efforts into opportunities with uncapped upside and use various forms of leverage (personal brand, AI tools, code, relationships) for non-linear growth.

Just remember: Working harder isn't the answer. You can accelerate your capital accumulation if you work smart.

Just make sure your upside isn't capped.

One unit of input should lead to multiple units of output.

And your work should ideally compound like your assets.

Where to start?

Helping other people make more money in their business is a good rule of thumb.

E.g. AI is a new tool that few people know how to use effectively.

So help them leverage AI in their business.

There's a million niches within that one obvious idea.

You can figure it out and make anything happen.

If you want to.

Stage 2: You have between $1-$5 million worth of BTC.

Primary focus: Capital Allocation & Preservation

At this point you should increasingly focus on your own investor psychology, mindset, and risk management.

You have some momentum at this stage.

Keep it rolling.

Keep stacking Bitcoin and milking your personal cashflow.

But realize that you're closing in on escape velocity.

And your main job is to not screw it up.

BTC's 40-50% CAGR means you're looking at adding $400-$500K to your net worth on autopilot.

When taking taxes into consideration, that's like earning close to $1 million per year in income and saving all your after tax income.

Something that very few people ever manage to do.

This is the point where your BTC starts to make money faster than you likely can through your own effort.

Which means you should shift a portion of your time into mastering your investing psychology.

You need to be mentally prepared for likely market scenarios.

You need to have a plan.

You need to know yourself, and know how you'll react when volatility strikes.

Do you need a cash pile that helps you sleep at night?

How long of a runway do you need to not panic sell the next dip?

These are questions you must address.

You're on your way to generational wealth.

And you cannot afford to screw up at this stage.

Stage 3: >$5 million in BTC. Escape velocity.

Focus on Time Allocation.

Many people in the fiat world don't see $5 million as "enough" to retire.

But that's because inflation is usually outpacing the returns of their "safe" investment portfolio.

But if you have $5 million in BTC, you're adding ~$2 million to your net worth each year, and it's compounding (as long as you have a long time horizon).

You can spend $20K-$25K a month and still watch your wealth accelerate.

At this point, you should take a minute to recognize that the future is uncertain.

AI and robotics will soon change everything as we know it.

And you will never have as much time as you do now.

At this point, you need to be deliberate with how you allocate your time.

Imagine you only had 5 years left to live; would you be spending your days as you are now?

What would you change?

You've essentially solved the money problem.

Now your focus should be on how to live well in a way that doesn't require extreme extravagance.

That way when you get to $100 million net worth in the next decade you know how to enjoy your good fortune without relying on ever more money to do so.

Find activities that you enjoy and that you can compound over the long-term.

Do things that make you feel alive and don't lead to a "hangover" later.

Prioritize your health and family.

Congratulations, you've won the money game.

And your reward is that now you get to pick a new game to play.

Choose your next adventure wisely.

Checked today and still hate public speaking ✅

What would you like to see MORE of in the Bitcoin community?

And what would you like to see LESS of?

The clouds never look clean anymore.

Bitch I just called out a technical issue. It’s not the end of the fucking world. Now go find something useful to do - like your mom.

You should sell.

Seeing a lot of discourse around Nostr dying and people leaving.

Nostr could literally have 100 active people and I’d still prefer it over any current social media platform.

Their loss.
