On my way to a poker night.

I am a total noob and I seldom gamble.

Any tips?

Also I’ve promised the host I won’t bring up bitcoin too much 🫠

And of course thanks to all the developers who have created the protocol and all the technology behind this.

Social networks increasingly ask for, or take from you, more and more data. We need a change.

At btc Prague, I was chatting with some colleagues when Uncle Jack pulled me and said, “you need to talk to this person”. I see a well-kempt young man, maybe around 30 years old ready to engage me in conversation. I greet him and wait expectantly for his pitch.

The first question he asks me, catching me off guard, is “Are you aware of the mass genital mutilation occurring all over the world?”. I reply, “you mean the trans issue?” and he rebuttals “No, I mean circumcision”.

Over the next 30-45min I have my head split open with facts and statistics about this procedure, its occult roots, and just how wrong it can go. The whole time I’m thinking to myself “how did I not see this?”. As someone who takes pride in being critical of the establishment, how did I not realize just how big of a problem this is?

Hearing his story, how he was circumcized at age 8, how excruciating it was, how the doctor gave him the “punishment cut” which over-removes foreskin to the point that future er3ctions become crooked & painful. How he has spent his life looking for answers, and how passionate he is about opening people’s eyes to this issue and funding Foregen: a potential solution to those already afflicted.

If nothing else, I hope this post helps you take a beat and think before going along with the status quo. Question everything. Even when you’re shamed & gaslit (especially when you’re shamed & gaslit), even when it’s awkward or when you feel intimidated. Our innocent children are depending upon us to make these decisions on their behalf, decisions that will affect the rest of their lives.

Babies CANNOT have informed consent. Conducting irreversible, body (and life) altering surgeries on these helpless beings is deeply immoral, and the fact that it has been so thoroughly normalized is extremely unsettling. And for what, cleanliness?? Why not chop off our hands or asses while we’re at it since it’s clear so inconvenient to practice basic hygiene.

Please share this if you feel so compelled. We owe it to our baby boys to spare them of superfluous suffering.

Aww… when is the baby due?

Tough judge. The arm twirl adds panache. Was thinking more of a 6.6-7.7

If there’s swell, to infinity and beyond

Excited to kick off the Quantum Bitcoin Summit tomorrow, see you there!

Big thanks to our sponsors: Anduro and Project 11 for making it possible.

Mood

Day two feel incredibly good it’s crazy. I’ve realized that I’ve barely picked up my phone because all I would pick up my phone for was social media and I’m realizing that all the times that I thought that people were always texting me or always calling me. I always needed to have my phone was just because of the time I was spending on social media, which will drain out my time and I’d realize that. Hours had gone by just doom scrolling, but feeling strong feel like I dont wanna download Instagram or any of it

Seeing how many days I can go social media fasting today is day one. Deleted Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube. Just primal left. But the plan is to spend as much time off my phone as I can so we’ll see how long I make it. I’ll keep you guys updated.

I don’t even play baseball but when your frens call you on your day off to go play baseball you say yes

If money didn’t matter, why would I?

Looks great! Someone who has a Daylight and a Remarkable that can compare them?

I would build something akin to medieval castle complex on 1000 pristine acres of prime land. True legacy endeavor.

I'd probably buy up a thousand acres of sun drenched land, and build out the maximum amount of solar power production and battery storage, and enough Bitcoin miners to use it all, high a few guys to run it, and have a perpetual solar powered Bitcoin mining farm, forever.

I'd probably also buy up or develop about 10 hydro electric production sites including dams, and run Bitcoin miners off of them too.

Then I'd build out me and my wife's dream mountain house and land, probably in Idaho or Montana, near some town with coffee shops I could electric bike to where I would build community and write books.

I'd continue with our plan to have five kids, and homeschool them all. By the way, one is already on the way, here in September.

I'd hire a tutor to fast track my mastering of Korean, that I'm already doing.

I'd equip our motorhome with a massive solar power system with all electric appliances, and travel the country, and beyond.

I'd get a PhD, maybe in applied linguistics.

As I've already been doing, I'd write books for the rest of my life, and continue tutoring Koreans in the English language.

Welcome bro. Also stacker.news is a good place to stack sats, lots of interoperability between the two protocols

LFG 🚀

Btw my X got hacked by shitcoiners about a year ago so I’ve missed many updates on Bitcoin. What is the most important new this last year?!

Someday there will be a Nostr client that is able to curate old content

Akin to YT algo that serves up old videos

So anything we post, provided it creates enough value, could be found in the future

The key ofc being: you own the data, the audience, the performance of the content

For some reason no-one has figured this out yet

So, what were your times? 😜

Life Update — Getting Vulnerable

This is MY Story and I’m finally ready to share it…

Nearly two years ago, I walked away from a 20-year career in the car business. I was a VP, overseeing 400+ employees, and from the outside, things looked solid. But inside, I knew God was calling me to something different.

When I stepped away, it wasn’t a slow fade — it was a clean break. That decision fractured my relationship with my dad and forced close friends to choose sides. And most chose distance. I was left with my wife, my kids… and God.

But that was enough. Actually — it was everything.

A few years ago, I shared a video on YouTube of me building a DIY cold plunge. It was low quality, shot on a whim, and it came from a place of personal struggle — I was battling brain fog, low energy, and searching for answers. The response to that video was the first spark of something new.

Fast forward to today — I’ve been creating content about health and wellness for three years now. I’ve tried things, reviewed things, built things, and shared what’s working for me in real time. It’s not polished. It’s real.

In less than two years since leaving the car business, my life has completely transformed. No titles, no safety nets, no industry to fall back on. Just faith, consistency, and a relentless belief that if I trusted God fully, He’d lead me somewhere good.

He did.

In 2024, I had the biggest financial year of my life — not from anything flashy, but from showing up every day and sharing what’s real. Every month, over $1,000,000 worth of product is purchased through my links and codes. That number blows my mind. Not because of the money — but because of what it represents: impact.

People still assume I’ll go back to the car business someday. But I won’t. Because I didn’t just change careers — I changed identities. I’m not a doctor. I’m not a trainer. I didn’t even grow up playing sports. But somehow, I’ve become a recognizable voice in the wellness space.

And here’s the truth: I don’t take credit for any of it.

This wasn’t a clever strategy or a five-year business plan. It was me giving everything — every day — to God. He has provided every single need for my family. He has opened doors I never could’ve forced open. He’s given me purpose in the pain and peace in the unknown.

If it all ended tomorrow, I’d still be grateful. Because this chapter has been rich with meaning, miracles, and moments I never could’ve dreamed up on my own.

I’m sharing this to encourage someone who’s on the edge of a scary decision. You can reinvent your entire life if you’re willing to trust God, let go of people-pleasing, and consistently show up for the work.

Don’t put a ceiling on what God can do.

I didn’t know how this would turn out when I jumped — but I knew Who I was trusting.

To everyone who’s supported this journey, from likes to messages to prayers — thank you. Truly.

And to God — I give it all back. 🙏🏽
