Staying humble, stacking sats

crush your goals and keep being weird

I know a lot about bitcoin and investing and economics, but at one time I knew nothing about any of these things.

20 years ago I knew nothing about investing.

11 years ago I knew nothing about bitcoin.

7 years ago I knew nothing about economics.

So what changed?

Well I was curious and then I followed that curiosity where it took me.

I became obsessed with the things I was obsessed with.

Some people look at how expensive a house is and think they’ll never afford one, other people think “I wonder how I can make it cheaper?” And then they learn to build a house.

Time is going to pass.

Your time is going to pass.

It’s been 10 years since I’ve been in bitcoin.

That time passed and I know plenty of people who have nothing to show for it.

In fact that’s the norm.

I’m the exception.

You know why?

Because they weren’t curious about anything and I am.

I care.

I care about my life, I want things. I believe if others have it so can I.

Somebody out there has the life you want.

You can have it too, but you have to give a shit about yourself.

You have to talk differently to yourself.

You have to focus your energy.

You have to break free and very often you will have to go it alone.

But the time is going to pass regardless and do you really want to have nothing to show for it?

Don’t do it because you need to prove something to other people.

Do it because you’re not living up to your potential otherwise.

Do you want all of the best things about you to remain hidden and buried and to one day rest alongside you in the graveyard?

Or do you want to be who you were meant to be?

It’s your call.

I made my decision some time ago.

life is so much better when you just get comfortable being curious and not knowing anything

knowledge compounds like wealth does and if it starts with a dumb question then shit, ask away

Assuming you’re a righty, buy this now on Amazon. Since you’re doing treestand/blind you’ll want a shorter axle to axle bow so this is 30 inches. This makes it so in a treestand you’re not hitting branches with a longer bow. Because you’re 6 foot-your draw is most likely between 28-30 inches so this bow does that. This bow literally comes with everything that you’ll need to start for $200. That’s a ridiculous deal. If you end up not liking it, it’s only a 200 loss. If you do like it, upgrade to a high end bow but this bow will kill anything in North America with good shot placement. Steps in order after purchase-

Bring it to your local bow shop and tell them you’re brand new to this. They’re used to this and being honest will let them know where to start. They’ll help fit your bow from scratch. What they’ll do-

Get your true draw length by measuring with your arms spread out like a T from finger tip to finger tip in inches then divide by 2.5. This will give your draw. They’ll set this on your bow. My guess is roughly 29 inches based on your height.

Next they’ll set draw weight. Start with 60 pounds. This will get good arrow speeds but also very easy to draw and do target practice while you’re getting started.

Next they’ll do timing which aligns the cams(the wheels the string is on) so they rotate in sync. Important for arrow flight.

Next they’ll set center shot. This moves the rest in alignment with the string so the arrow shoots straight out of the bow.

Next they’ll align the peep sight with your eye. This is important, at full draw the peep needs to go to where it’s most comfortable for your natural eye relief.

After this, shoot your arrows at 20 yards in the bow shop to align your first pin.

Again, this is the bow shops job and they will do all of this for you and with you. Be honest and tell them you know nothing and you want to learn. Humility will go a long ways and we all started from zero.

Last thing- NEVER DRAW YOUR BOW WITHOUT AN ARROW IN IT AND DO NOT DRY FIRE YOUR BOW. It will explode and the strings will de rail and this can rip your face and arms apart. Bows are not designed to shoot without transferring the energy into an arrow. Without the transfer, it needs to release it through the bow itself which makes it explode.

amazing, I’m going to grab one today. this is incredibly xxhelpful thank you so much.

what a legend, nostr is beautiful

greetings fellow costco enjoyer

indeed it is, weight room feels a little lighter after taking for a bit. if it’s just a placebo it’s a cost effective one 🤷🏼‍♂️

deer eventually and thinking a treestand is the way to go

will be just targets for a while though so wanted something you can grow into a bit

greetings #nostr
