What’s lmnt

I’ve just completed Day 50 of 100 Pushups a Day To $100K.

I haven’t attempted a single set PB since the push up contest in Madeira at Bitcoin Atlantis almost 2 weeks ago.

I’m feeling like making a go at it today 💪

Sauna sessions cure

I love baths

Is it really 2 hours of running?

In 2011, I was inspired by Ron Paul, Peter Schiff & Robert Kiyosaki to save in sound money.

I took my entrepreneurial savings & bought gold & silver. Then I discovered magic internet money & started buying & mining Bitcoin at $10.

I recently posted about how I was operating from fear and how that was going to change.

After some reflection, I realize I wouldn’t be protected with a Bitcoin shield today without fear.

Fear is a powerful motivator.

Don’t ignore your fear, but, don’t let it control you.

Harness it and let it be a super power.

Is your fear real? If yes - then Cheerfully & Constructively do something about it. My doing something about it was productively protesting a corrupt system by saving in sound money.

Of course like all early pioneers, I didn’t make it to the promised land completely unscathed. Selling too much Bitcoin early, trusting insiders & exchanges, not having a risk management system, etc.

I’ll probably have a very hard time to ever make it back to my high watermark in BTC terms.

However, I just bought more BTC as we flipped Silver because I studied and learned lessons.

The first half of my life was about acquiring knowledge, mental toughening & learning lessons through experiences and gathering resources.

I was moving forward with naive hope and dreams, attracting success, but energy was leaking everywhere, high entropy.

Now I'm focusing my mind and body. I’m assembling a team. I’m moving into Citadel building mode.

Step 1 to building your bitcoin citadel is to have a clear vision and define the object objectives.

Clearly articulate the mission, goals, and values of your Bitcoin Citadel.

Outline how you envision the Citadel supporting your community, the Bitcoin ecosystem, your investments, and cultural projects you’re passionate about.

Your citadel must be big enough with fertile soil to allow for others to plant their dreams and grow within the protection of your walls.

That’s not his real voice though

I did it! Was not too bad!

Ah shit, it’s time for bed and I’m only at 60 pushups. I did 2 exercise sessions today.

This is gonna suck 💪

How did you do this lol

Magic Internet Money is coming back from a long hiatus with nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft

Might be a little windy but we made it through.

I also forgot to mention that I had a really great chat with John Valis’a dad Brian.

What a high level top tier guy. Very successful, fit, great mindset.

Gave me some great advice.

Another highlight of the trip was the exotic fruit tasting session I had with Becca Rubenfeld in the suite.

Seeing my daughter using her lightning wallet at the conference and talking to other kids about Bitcoin was pretty special too.

I stopped zapping months ago when Apple banned Zapping.

It was too many steps to keep zapping.

Is there a better way to zap on an iPhone?

It’s not that I don’t want to zap, it’s just not as easy as it was.

I’m having such an incredible time here in Madeira.

I’ve been working out every day, eating lots of delicious meat, fish and vegetables and doing 100 pushups a day to $100K.

I have rarely travelled to Bitcoin/Nostr events but that’s about to change.

It’s so great to be surrounded by Bitcoiners. I’m actually coming back from this trip in better shape mentally and physically. I’ve lost 3 lbs of fat while I’ve been here for 8 days and I’ve been waking up at 5-6 am.

I’ve gotten so many positive messages from people I met for the first time at the conference and side events, surprisingly many even listen to my podcast 😅

I’m going to record an episode for the first time in 5 months tomorrow with nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft who really surprised me when he said he was a fan of my pod and encouraged me to record again 😀

Some exciting belly to belly things happening here with FREE Madeira, Sovereign Engineering, lots of bitcoin folks have moved here, and it’s no wonder why.

Plus what a great location it was for the Bitcoin Film Festival & the Startup Pitch Fest which I got to participate in!

I’m lucky to be in a position to have such a close proximity to people like nostr:npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a and nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 who I consider close friends and advisors as well as co-investors in great bitcoin companies.

Also got some great 1 on 1 time with people I look up to a lot like nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z who gave me a great framework of thinking about how to be a good leader and focus on delegation and taking responsibility.

A great cliff side sunset walk with nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg which I’ll never forget, and a protein packed Damus BBQ with nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and his family & friends discussing webs of trust and nostr redaction.

I got a great sauna session in with nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr and his son Marko discussing overcoming fears and limiting beliefs, health and the future.

I have missed many opportunities and offers in the past couple of years because I had a “ceiling of complexity” … but because of my new daily health & mental level-up routine, i am choosing nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe's PICNUF framework to focus on the positive.

I also hired a coach, Dan Martell, and I’m fired up! I was talking to Aleks Svetski and he said he could feel my shifted energy 😀

I’m going to build a team and build my citadel (figuratively for now) and be more proactive about expanding my impact to help lift up my community, my family and as many startup founders and bitcoin culture contributors that I can.

I went through a thought exercise in January- if BTC was at $1 million tomorrow, would I be able to build an actual citadel? The answer was no. So I’ve been making big changes in my life to make sure I am the person who can building a citadel one day.

Who can? Brad Mills Can 😀

I also got a chance to briefly shake hands with (but not yet spend any time with) nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m who have inspired me greatly over the last few years.

Saylor’s “cheerful and constructive” message has been in the back of my mind as a self correcting mechanism for how I interact with bitcoin critics and shitcoiners.

Jacks commitment to right the karmic scales and be a net positive for freedom and free speech has inspired me to invest in many educational and bitcoin tech companies in Africa and Latin America - which surprisingly, Jack followed on to 2 or 3 of them in later rounds, showing I am on to something with my investing strategy.

I shook hands with and/or hugged and spent time with or broke bread with many many awesome people, and a bunch I wish I got to spend more time with.

I have a massive list of selfies with beautiful people and notes on the exciting things they are doing.

I’m going to start going to more of these events so I can develop closer relationships with all of you who are my tribe!

Excited to also be spending time with my wife and daughter while I’m here, because my wife is Portuguese and I’d love for us to get passports!

Thought I would share my positive thoughts as I’m driving to the west side of the island to see 15 foot waves 🌊
