Controlling your own time is the biggest change in my life since a radical shift to a Bitcoin standard

Claude, Perplexity

Great December for Mr Obnoxious.

After the initial drop, on YouTube the show is 39% ahead of the WBD average for the last 12 months. The only month which beat it in total was the Whitney Webb month, a show which is now at 1.7m downloads.

Also, average downloads per show, Audio + YouTube is ahead of the average for the last 50 shows of WBD.

It’s been a hard graft and a transition full of anxiety, so I appreciate all the sponsors and listeners who have stuck with the new show.

WBD is in good hands with Danny and he’s crushing too.

what AI models does everyone use a day to day basis?

currently really want to move away from openai and grok for there LLM's.

what are the current bitcoiner using?.

Most impactful book I’ve finished lately: “Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Willink

I now:

- have “Extreme Ownership” on my iPhone locked screen

- navigated a disagreement with my wife very well

- stopped getting triggered by my kids in a scenario that usually would

- flew through a long standing “to do” list

Fascinating how such a small phrase, with excellent context, can make a material improvement to your mental health

Highly recommend

(Ps - being down the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole, I find it hard listening to fiat funded mercenaries talk of patriotism, good vs bad etc, but that’s a whole separate discussion)

Never say another person ruined your life.

By doing that you are submitting to them and putting them in a position of power over you.

Never relinquish power over any situation that affects your life.

Take accountability for everything.

Someone harmed you? It was your fault for allowing that person into your life.

Only when you think that way can you take back control of your life.

No one has the ability to ruin my life except me.

I alone am the master of my fate.

Today was (hopefully) my last day working as a physician.

All in on #Bitcoin, my hedge fund, and #nostr for the foreseeable future. 👀

Hopefully this time the retirement from #radiology will stick. 😂

Onwards. ⚡️

Entering 2025, I weigh 5lbs more than I've ever weighed in my entire life.

I'm extremely happy about this. 🥳

Nothing makes me shake my head more than seeing people do squats where they barely go down, let alone below parallel.

So interesting how little I've been posting on Nostr lately

I am not as engaged as I was on Twitter etc over the years, but interestingly I don't care, and I feel happier

In some weeks on Twitter I would have had a number of viral posts, with 100s of comments, and 1 million impressions

It was wild

1 man and a keyboard

But fuck was it stressful... A sea of notifications. You couldn't respond to every one even if you wanted

I would get burnt out

Then a few months later get renewed, hooked, entriced, whatever you want to call it, and the same pattern would repeat

Nostr experience is so much more chilled

In some ways a growing in self-confidence, lack of need for extrenal validation, and a more sophisticated approach to life also playing its part

Saying that, I think in 2025 I am going to create more content than ever before

But I am going to learn from my mistakes, do it a little differently, and in particular really focus in on the long game

Here's to many more failure's, lessons, re-iteration's, and life lessons! Remember: ACTION LEADS TO CLARITY

is golf low time preference or a shitcoin? stack sats, eat ribeyes, and play golf?

can’t tell. dont hate it honestly

Idk who needs to hear this, but you can just change your life.

You can move to a new area.

You can meet new people.

You can make different decisions.

You can stop being lazy.

You can start putting yourself out there.

You can get comfortable with failure.

Comfortable with growth.

You can start to see yourself differently

You can tell yourself a different story about who you are in the world.

You can do it today.

Right now.

In this moment.

You can just be a new person.

You’re under no obligation to be the person you were 10 minutes ago.

You can have a new life.
