Don't go to college, or encourage your kids to, unless you have a very good and specific reason for needing to go. I wasted 9 years of my life obtaining a piece of paper from a fiat establishment saying I have a PhD, when in reality I had no useful skills to serve people and be rewarded with money.

Encourage people to support the Nostr model where creators are directly rewarded by the viewer in proportion with the value they derive from a piece of work! This is the new world if you continue to use it and build on it.

"The ultimate game — the only game there is — is to understand yourself. It's like you go through levels and you find treasures along the way. And there's five main gates or levels that I call hamster wheels. That's the game: to see the game, to see the hamster wheels, see your behavior, and see how it interacts with reality —how you create your reality."

GM.

Feeling reflective today.

It’s wild that this is my life.

I make wine on the property I grew up on and sell it by shitposting alongside My People on the internet.

None of this was planned.

At 25, I was floundering. I knew I needed to start something and bet on myself, but had no idea what.

My dad made wine as a hobby. One day he suggested I start a winery. I’d never made wine before, but I said fuck it and started Peony Lane.

That first year, I had no product to sell and hated the job I had. My dad wanted to build a house, so now I live in one that he and I built together.

When I moved home to do that, I lived with a friend who just happened to be a Bitcoiner. I was already into personal finance, and he pulled me down the rabbit hole. He also got me on Twitter, by always knowing everything before I did.

Serendipitously, when my first wine was ready, I happened to be dating a graphic designer. She designed my first labels and built the Peony Lane brand. Today, my labels are made by my best friend from high school.

Twitter started out as a way to learn more about Bitcoin. Then Bitcoiners started buying my wine.

Now, more than half my sales are in Bitcoin.

You can just exit the Matrix
