A lot of people have heard my moped story, but heres the math on it.

In 2016 I needed $5,000 to pay my wife’s master’s school tuition.

I didn’t have $5,000 cash at the time, but I did have bitcoin.

Bitcoin was trading at roughly $500, so I would have had to sell 10 bitcoin in order to pay the tuition.

I didn’t want to do that so I sold my car instead for $5,500.

I took $500 of that and bought a shitty moped and used the rest to pay my wife’s tuition.

So I rode the moped around the rest of the year and everyone made fun of me. Usually I play this part of the story up, but tbh it didn’t bother me. The people making fun of me were poorer than I was, they didn’t understand bitcoin or the market or even basic budgeting.

When people would make fun of me I would tell them why I was doing what I was doing. Then I would start peppering them with questions about their financial life.

“Oh so you financed your refrigerator? You’re still paying that off huh?”

“You have a timeshare you’ve never been to? How’d you get talked into that?”

People would generally go from laughing at me riding the moped to feeling shell shocked by me popping their bubble of comfortable delusion.

Still I drove the moped and everyone thought I was being weird and ridiculous and silly etc…

At 100k that decision was worth a million dollars.

At a million it will have been worth 10 million.

And at 10 million it will have been a nine figure decision.

100 million dollars.

I only rode the stupid moped for 8 months.

Ask yourself? Would you face 8 months of sacrifice and ridicule for 10 million in the future?

Because there are things you could be doing today that would generate that for future you.

My advice is to have your own moped moment.

Do something a little weird/cringe/out there in order to stack more sats and then check in on the sats in 10-15 years.

I think you’re going to be happy with the results.

I prefer to ride a horse and not pay taxes, although it is a fallacy, in Australia many roads are dirt roads and trucks and vehicles circulate.

On the other hand the roads can be perfectly private as has happened in many countries, for example Spain during the Franco regime where all the highways were private.

Strictly two wheels only. 😁

They won't be driving on the ones I'm thinking of. 😂

Black market and circular economy is the important thing, forget Saylor's message, he is just a statist who has his life solved, the Bitcoin strategic reserve is not going to solve anything either.

You are not Saylor.

You have to get this into your head and make it an obsession, you should never pay a single sat to the state for your Bitcoins.

In most countries young people do not have access to decent housing, they have precarious jobs, they are not going to have a retirement and they are now paying the retirement of the boomers with their taxes.

Young people have been swindled by this criminal system, take your pride and fight, do not be part of their game, neither politics nor taxes are the solution.

My wish, dirt roads and a world without politicians.

Bring it. 😂

I have fire, I'll be fine. 😂

Some people suggest the Carrington event potentially reached as far south as Columbia. The magnetosphere is far weaker now though, so there certainly going to be interesting with all these potential civilization ending light shows coming !

And the tree is a hell of alot better at capturing & storing that energy than piss weak solar panels.

You've made an energy technology worse than a wood fire...

And the tree is a hell of alot better at capturing & storing that energy than piss weak solar panels.

The tree is a very very long way away from the "fusion reactor" and receiving sweet fuck all of that "fusion reactors" energy, if it was on fire & releasing that energy even if it did so in a microsecond, it would come nowhere near the energy output of our largest piss weak imitation.

Lets test the theory with your body, go float right next to it.

I'm going to say it very slowly dickhead, the sun is a massive fusion reactor in the sky
