This! If you know the existing system is insolvent, rather than waste your energy screaming at it and making it stronger, focus your time and energy on building the lifeboats (#Bitcoin ecosystem) for when it inevitably crumbles.

This is X is a nutshell 🤣

Adopt a money that doesn't need to be invested and just save it. #Bitcoin

It certainly feels like this in the UK at the moment. Funnily enough, all parties seem to forget to disclose that all of their pledges result in higher taxes, more inflation and more borrowing from the future

Every day haha. I wouldn’t swap being a father and husband for the world but balancing it with life, health, day job and trying to work towards financial independence whilst doing well at all of them can be pretty relentless in fairness! Family makes it work it though

Last month, a number of people suggested that since I’ve coached entrepreneurs for a long time, I start working with bitcoin companies.

I put out a message seeing who was interested and a number responded.

The people include

👩🏼‍🚀An bitcoin influencer successfully navigate a sequence of life transitions

👩🏼‍💻👨🏻‍💻2 bitcoin startups with their pitch and cap raise

🏦A bitcoin hedge fund owner refine their offering and attract more wholesale investors

It’s a lot of fun and they are getting some great results📈, so I’m going to launch a special group coaching program.

This will be for people who want to be in a group of other founders and influencers who are

✅moving the needle forward,

✅ lifting up others by your example

✅ highly committed

Jim Rohn once said you’re the average of the 5 people you spend most time with, so what if those people were amazing?

That’s the intention of the group. We meet once a week.

No more than 7 people on a group. I facilitate the group, answer coaching questions.

I’ve run these groups for 10 years, seen several exits and turnarounds as a direct result, and there’s no group of people I’d like to be successful more than people running bitcoin companies.

Before I ran them I was also part of such a group. It was an unforgettable experience which created not just results but amazing friendships I still have.

Reach out if you feel the pull, but you never believed something like this could be possible.

Hey Daniel, you may be in touch with some Bitcoin startups and early founders who may have relatively little funding to allocate to security. Therefore, if anybody on your programs requires any cyber security advice or testing then feel free to send them my way. I’m an experienced penetration tester/cyber security consultant and would do this voluntarily to help smaller/younger entrepreneurs get off the ground, if they needed.

#Bitcoin detractors: The blocks are too small and transaction fees are too high. Fees need to be low for Bitcoin to scale.

Also #Bitcoin detractors: The fees are too low. Bitcoin has a security problem.

Yep, it’s inevitable. Infinite returns are far more likely than diminishing returns when comparing BTC to fiat.

#Bitcoin is hope. #nostr is truth.

Feeling a lot of respect and appreciation to all the dads out there, on nostr and otherwise (but especially on nostr).

A few years ago, my cousin asked me what I believed my purpose in life was. I surprised him (and myself) with the answer:

I said, “On the deepest level, I feel called to someday be a really good dad. Bringing light into the world through my professional journey is how I usually answer, but my family is how I truly wish to leave my mark on the world”.

My wife and I are hoping/planning to have a bunch of kids. Not quite yet, but not that long from now. We have a few logistical boxes that need (non-optionally) to be checked off, but otherwise, it’s nearly time to begin.

I have been getting more ready, emotionally and psychologically, in recent years. Learning to take care of myself more reliably (I still have work to do there, but who doesn’t?), and gradually building deeper stability in terms of family, community, and finances.

Through much of my twenties, I (correctly) felt that I wasn’t ready.

That I had more growing up to do.

That I needed (and wanted) to focus on my marriage and build the strongest and most beautiful relationship possible with my wife.

That my career path was still forming, solidifying into the “bigger picture” that I could feel but not yet see.

Today, I feel that I’ve completed many of these prerequisites, and/or they are in motion, going “according to plan”.

I don’t feel entirely ready for children, to be completely selfless in the all-consuming way that parenthood demands. I’m excited for when the time comes, even if it’s not quite *time* yet. That said, I know that if I were to discover today that a child was on its way, I would be delighted and rise to the occasion.

How’s this for a sign that I’m ready:

Today is Father’s Day, and I’m contemplating all of the above, and writing down and sharing these musings here, rather than reflecting on my childhood and relationship with my own dad. That’s new.

Happy Father’s Day 🫂

#grownostr #growyourself #fathersday #plebchain

A lot of this post resonates with how I’ve thought/felt the past few years. I made the leap and finally became a dad recently and honestly cannot even explain how much meaning and purpose fatherhood has added to my life already!

Happy Father’s Day to my fellow #nostr dads out there! #family #fathersday

Yeh I love that about #nostr. You only grow your network by having meaningful conversations and chatting to people, not from closed-source algorithms that push certain narratives for clicks.
