GM - beautiful day for a rideā¦
Also, if you happen to be in NYC, nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h ā¦
In 2020, my husband was into #Bitcoin and I simply wasnātā¦ Big mistake.
2020 was a life changing year for both of us. Lockdowns happened, we got engaged in April, married in July, and moved to the opposite side of the country away from our families.
This was the first time we had ever lived together. It truly felt like it was just the two of us, creating our own little world. I was unemployed trying to figure out what to do while my husband worked hard for us.
Once we lived together, the word āBitcoinā came to my radar again since the very first time Iād heard about it in 2017.
Not because my husband was trying to shove an orange-pill down my throat... He would simply put on the nostr:npub1r8l06leee9kjlam0slmky7h8j9zme9ca32erypgqtyu6t2gnhshs3jx5dk a podcast or listened to Citizen Bitcoin while we would do car rides. He would ask me if Iāve heard about nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m and about how Microstrategy was going to buy Bitcoin..
To my husband, it all sounded soooo interesting.. But this was his thing, not mine. I didnāt get it. And didnāt care to. I had more āimportantā things to think aboutā¦ when in reality, I was just disqualifying myself and thinking I was not smart enough to understand Bitcoin. THIS WAS MY BIG MISTAKE.
Fast forward to end of November, I finally decide to read the Bitcoin Standard. My initial reaction was anger. I had about 10K in fiat savings that were just being melted away. Then I felt regret. I wish I would have paid attention soonerā¦ Bitcoin was at $17K at the time. I could have bought a whole coin while it was under 10K just a couple months back.
But instead of dwelling in those negative emotions, I quickly snapped out of it. I told myself āThis is the solution you have been looking for. This is the nest egg for the family you want to create. Dive more into it.ā And I did. I logged back on Twitter after many years, connected with other Bitcoiners, got a job in the industry, and have been a Bitcoiner ever since.
I made 2 simple rules for myself on this journey:
1) Just focus on Bitcoin
2) Stack sats WHILE you learn
My husband and I started to get more aggressive with our purchases when we could, buying all time highs and trying to take advantage of dips. And we have been on this journey together ever since.
God put nostr:npub1tv9uejkrc5ey8ec8ewucf9347p4t7yf6a5uc3nvc2aae90ww9ywsgntde3 in my life so he could guide me and to build a fruitful life together with him. Bitcoin was put as a tool to build the best life possible in todayās world.
If your spouse or life partner dismisses Bitcoin, donāt give up on them.
Remember that what you both are trying to do is build a life project together. How are you both contributing to that vision? What tools are you using to make it happen?
Paint the picture together first, and then bring up how Bitcoin can make it happen and how it can make your life project happen a lot faster if you are on the same page.
YOU GOT THIS. DONāT GIVE UP. AND KEEP STACKING!
Love this, good on you both - your husband for persevering just the right amount and you for staying curiousā¦
To paraphrase Saylor about diversification - you have 10 people on a sinking ship and 10 life boats, 9 of which leak. Do you put one person in each lifeboat or put everyone into the one that doesnāt leak?
Apparently ātax is love.ā

Not sure if this qualifies as a newsletter but www.nobsbitcoin.com. Also Daniel Batten does a great newsletter but with more of a focus on bitcoinās role in stabilising the energy grid.
Grateful for my wife and kids and the life we have built for ourselves in this most beautiful corner of the planet.

GM and happy $100k #bitcoin
Just FYI, #bitcoin doesnāt give two shits about Microsoft.
That is the end of this public service announcement.
Yes more FUD please, I have a bunch of worthless fiat I need to offload.
Please stop spreading this FUD, itās beneath you.
Good seed phrase hygiene is critical, and for larger stacks a m-of-n multisig. Lots of online resources available, including:

It is also a bridge too far for some. I was having a conversation with a friend back when #bitcoin was around $58k. He is otherwise a very smart chap, but just could not get beyond the fact that, if you lose your seed phrase, your assets are gone forever. He doesnāt want the responsibility. Funnily enough his wife confided in me on Saturday that she has been stacking sats without his knowledge! š. So I guess he was smart enough to marry well ā¦
He continues to embarrass himself with such lazy thinking.
What a fān drongoā¦
