Her: Who deleted Instagram from my phone?

Me: I am fully insulating you from all external stressors so you can focus on the children.

Let’s see how this goes…

Tonight, the 7-year old son says, “We should invent a game, probably on old school GameBoy so that it could be cheap, that we could give to homeless people. In the game, you would be a homeless person and to win the game you would have to do the right things.”

Me: “So in the game, the character is a homeless person? What kind things would they have to do?”

7-year old: “Like, the game would give them choices to make. And to advance to the next level, you have to make the right choice. Like, should I get a haircut and shave my nasty beard or not. This way, they can learn what they should do in real life.”

Me: [Nodding my head] That is a really good idea, bud. That would probably be more helpful than many other things currently being tried.

Tonight at bedtime, my little man asks, “Daddy, how many people are supposed to sleep in my twin bed?”

Me: “Just you, bud.”

Son: “Then why is it called a twin bed if twins are two people?”

Me: “I have no idea. I’ve never thought about that. That’s a great question.”

Bitcoin for your savings. Jesus for your soul.

My seven year-old younger son will spontaneously ask very random questions that you can tell he has been thinking about for a while. Posting to Nostr so I can remember them later on.

Tonight at bedtime, he asked, “Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Christians? If they aren’t, how will they be able to get married without a priest?”

Tell him thank you. 3 years ago, he went on Glenn Beck to explain the FTX blow-up. While doing so, he left a few bread crumbs explaining why Bitcoin is different than crypto. I knew nothing of either. But his short interview changed the course of my life. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but it’s true. I started down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. It has reoriented so many areas of my life and has changed the course of our family’s financial future. Thanks, Marty!

3,000 sats/$?

Earlier tonight, I heard Creed being played at the local family mini-golf joint. I was so disappointed that no one else around me was thinking about Bitcoin or your wine.

“You catch the game last night?” is a favorite meme of the Bitcoiners. But…that 18-inning World Series game was really great.

It was a beautiful day to be alive.

Rise and grind. Put in some proof of work today.

It was a beautiful day to be alive.

It’s a beautiful day to be alive.

It’s a great day to be alive.

It’s a beautiful day to be alive.

So much for the old, “But who will sole the loafers?!” trope.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Jesus loves you!

Also, pencils will clog your toilet.

Next time I go through Abilene, I will definitely stop in.

Is the deodorant tallow based? My wife was concerned the oils from the tallow might stain clothing.

I wouldn’t have purchased a @westmajor shirt unless/until I saw the @SoakQuest story behind the product. Now, I’m not just buying a shirt. I’m buying a piece of this creator’s dedication/passion/quality that just so happens to be a kick ass western shirt.

One unexpected downside we discovered, is the words of Jesus (in red print) disappear when reading by the red light.

Psalm 11 hits hard this week.

I really enjoyed your wine, Ben. It was a great part of the trip.

Our first Opening Day (yesterday) of dove season with our boys was a success. We found a horny toad too.

At times, discovering Bitcoin has led me into a desert of conviction—moving forward with certainty, yet alone. The path feels right, but without a tribe, the journey is quiet, even lonely.

It puts off “Road Less Traveled / Not Taken” vibes. That’s not inherently a bad thing - just sometimes unfamiliar. Nonetheless, onward I go.

What AI did you use for this?

How was the paella?

Post a photo of it. The written description sounds amazing. I had to google it.

If my sons, ages 7 and 11, applied this, they would be producing the world’s first transparent sewer hoses for RVs. I wonder what the market is for that beyond young boys, haha.

The 75th Annual “Biggest Little Rodeo in Texas” in O’Donnell, Texas was all the best things about small town America: Family, community, God, and pride in America.

Marty, thank you for introducing me to Bitcoin when you were a guest on the Glen Beck Show right after the FTX blow up in the Fall of 2022. It has changed my life for the better in many ways.

I already felt like I was winning the fiat life back then, but winning the Bitcoin life is far superior.

Hodl on!
