A disengaged airline pilot with a thirst for wisdom (& #Bitcoin) Documenting what I've learnt through letters to my son, Reg.

As of a few weeks ago, I'm100% #bitcoin.

This transition hasn't been sudden.

It happened gradually, then inevitably..

I struggle to see how a rational economic actor, who's willing to learn about the asset, can avoid the same fate.

Looks like the BBC just got the memo

I'm thinking of quitting my job and just coming onto NOSTR every couple of days to post:

"I just deleted my X account, going all in on NOSTR"

I reckon I could live off the zaps this statement attracts.

Experiences and Relationships.

They form the currency of life.

And there's no better way to cultivate the former than by taking risks and just going for it.

There's no better statement to get the whole of NOSTR zapping you sats.

I remember getting chatting to a self-made Multi Millionaire whilst smoking a cigar in a local hotel lounge.

Having offered to buy me and my friend's next round of cigars, and having covered the drinks bill of a group sitting next to us, he told me that his Grandfather had given him some advice he always tried to live by....

DON'T CURB THE GENEROSITY IMPLUSE.

It's stuck with me since.

There are so many times where I think about doing something really nice for someone at personal cost, but just before I do I back out because of the price or inconvenience.

Now I force myself to follow through.

If you want to know what someone thinks, don't listen to what they say, watch what they do and how they use their money.

This one felt like a real gut punch.

When the dips start making me feel nauseous, you know the bull run is near.

The biggest gift #bitcoin gives us is to feel like we're the 'smart money's in the relationship between us and the bank.

Society conditions us to believe we have innate character traits that make us who we are.

We come away from childhood thinking we're "shy" or "not confident" or "bad with money" or "unorganised" or "not business minded" or "not good with people".

These are all just skill deficiencies, and most of them can be corrected within 6 months with a bit of intentional learning.
