I do not have kids but they are on the list for relatively near future! I am mentally preparing to have my world flipped upside down in the best way possible haha.

Any parent tips on working out and/or sleeping?

Try to be in bed at 9:15pm, asleep by 10 at the latest.

Wake up at 5:00am 4/5 days to work out. 2-3k steps during/after. Come home, shower, meditate, out the door for work by 7:30.

Few things in life get me as excited as my morning routine haha. I love it.

Why Japanese?

Also I’m a WoS noob. Is there a way to send sats to her without having the app?

Recently I’ve noticed more and more that satoshis are my unit of account.

Within the last week I’ve priced a bonus in sats, a vacation, even a gas station coffee.

I’ve always done this *to an extent* since becoming a laser-eyed maxi. But now it’s second nature and even subconscious.

Just a fun observation of my life that I thought I’d share.

Imagine the nihilism in the Chinese youth.

20%+ unemployment and 45%+ forced to return home after college.

Heartbreaking stuff.

Very unique take. I appreciate the POV!!

I see I misread that, but still any percent chance above 0 warrants some sort of tax-advantaged savings imo.

If there’s a 50/50 shot… isn’t that enough opportunity cost to still contribute? Especially in a 401k with an employer match. You’re leaving free money on the table.

Interesting angle… can you elaborate? I don’t see why they wouldn’t come after cash values as well.

The more I run through it in my head, the higher the probability I assign to a government confiscation of some kind towards American citizen retirement accounts.

The honeypot of untaxed gains will be too tempting to pass up amongst skyrocketing debt and, what I believe, fewer and fewer nation-states and corporations to buy that debt.

Potential actions:

1. Lower the age of RMDs on pretax money

2. Increase tax rates for withdrawn pretax money (think ordinary income + 5%, for example)

3. Changing the rules on Roth distributions. Complete rug pull of the rules. Gains now taxed at x%

This is just a hunch. Not saying it’s going to happen for sure, but the probability rises every day.

It’s another reason to diversify tax buckets.

Gotta switch it up like that every now and then. Trick the muscles!

Homesteaders:

What’s one of your favorite items to have around that doesn’t get the love it deserves?

Thinking of birthday gifts for my friend.

Last week or so, Alex Gladstein shared screenshots of a report from TD Ameritrade that appeared to be very bitcoin-friendly.

I can’t find it anywhere.

Has anyone found it or am I not the only one?

One of these is not like the other.

I don’t know about you guys but I think Chat GPT *might* just be programmed with some biases.

Enjoy! https://advisory.kpmg.us/content/dam/advisory/en/pdfs/2023/bitcoins-role-esg-imperative.pdf

KPMG’s report on bitcoin’s role as an ESG imperative is huge.

Seems like every talking point was taken directly from bitcoin twitter and podcasts, then wrapped in a KPMG marketing deck.

Normally I’d scoff at that sort of copy-and-paste job, but this is fantastic. A report like this legitimizes bitcoin wayyyyy more than listening to “shadowy super coder” podcast guests saying the exact same thing.

The tides are turning, y’all.

I just decided to sack up and do it for a whole week and I never looked back. It came to the point of needing to sack up because I was skipping work outs after work because I was always exhausted.

Now I go 3-4 times a week before work and will catch up on some sleep those off days. But always managing 6+ hours of sleep.

Geez talk about a marketing campaign for Balaji lately 😂

If you work out regularly and you DON’T work out in the morning, you’re missing out.

Starting the day out with alllll the endorphins.
