Admittedly, I really enjoyed this timely discussion with nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj.

Danny asks great questions, with intelligent follow-up points for clarification… and does both with a chill vibe.

The What Bitcoin Did podcast is in great hands! ⚡️

Agreed. Enjoyed it

I’m committed to getting my heavy ass around a 10k in 50m this year

I’m fine with no hand holding. But can we actually use the apps we would use day to day more privately?

Maps. Pay. Socials. Would be my main 3

Cool will check it out. Might be a nice place to point people

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.

Love this. My car costs less than everyone’s phone. It gets a slagging but I slag myself first to de fang it. Already it’s worth it imagine 10 more years

Is it crazy that a software developer in Ireland would consider quitting the time intensive corporate job to start a self employed painting/service business with their dad where with the extra free time they can still work on software side projects and maybe contribute to open source. Essentially choosing the work they like?

Also teaches music in the evening so money would be grand probably just not as high paying…

If so how crazy?
