I live my life in accordance with the 4 Agreements: - be impeccable with your word - make no assumptions - take nothing personally - always do your best I'm a sovereign soul choosing unconditional love over fear. 💚

The ability to do what you want when you want.

You can't have wealth without freedom.

First squat session in 2 years yesterday.

I'm hobbling around like an old man.

That escalated quickly 🤣🤣

I'm on day 4 of carnivore.

I know it'd give me the sheets 🤣

Oh wait - I thought they actually sold sheets.

Sheets are expensive & high value (at least in my mind).

Which real love do you mean?

The love I feel for my wife, for my children, for my brothers & sisters or for the bum on the street corner?

Agape 💚 - unconditional love changed everything for me.

It feels like something Watts would observe.

It very much aligns with my experience & thinking.

Taking responsibility for it All was a turning point for me.

I believe the creator gave us free will & a vessel through which to experience this gift.

I think the mistake many make is thinking that you can directly choose your actions, thoughts & words. These all flow from your actual free will & that is the ability to choose your beliefs.

Most never consciously choose their beliefs. They absorb them from their family, teachers, preachers & peers (via agreements on the nature of things).

When I turn to Christ & to God, I turn inward not outward. I do not commune with him as a seperate entity but as my higher self. In doing so I'm pointed toward love, compassion & forgiveness.

Thank you for not taking my words personally. I think there's great wisdom in the Christian teachings but that so much has been coopted to maintain centralised control. I believe you seek Truth which is why I engage.

Does he?

That's not the message I heard.

The creator supports your beliefs unconditionally & without judgement.

What unfolds in your life is simply a reflection of your beliefs.

You always act in alignment with your beliefs and you always act because you believe that action is in your best interest.

Whether you're scared God will punish you or that you know Betty Jones keeps a record of whose dog shits on her lawn, it doesn't matter.

You will do what you believe is in your best interest.

If the outcome is not what you prefer then what is the universe trying to show you about your beliefs?

I just lifted iron for the first time in 2.5 odd years.

Feels good. Not sure why I took so long but I know I'm doing it for the right reasons now.

💚🫂

Your reply highlighted Turtles reply to me which I had somehow missed.

I think she's on point.

I've come to believe that The Great Takening (as I shall now call it) will be for Bitcoin as well as natural resources.

How long will it take for them to compromise enough UTxOs?

I'm leaning towards 2032 for the execution (previously I had 2028 in mind).

Between now & then, they will need to pump Bitcoin hard.

🚀 Best Bitcoin Calculators for Bitcoiners🚀

I decided to build some practical tools for my own benefit and have released them into the wild to help Bitcoiners plan their retirement, achieve financial freedom and generally, to live life on their own terms.

Visit https://whybitcoinshow.com to explore. Detailed thread below on the calculators 👇

Bitcoin Retirement Calculator 🏖️

Purpose : Helps users determine how much bitcoin is needed to fund their retirement based on desired lifestyle and timeline.

How It Works : Users input their target retirement age, expected annual expenses, life expectancy, and bitcoin price projections. The calculator estimates the bitcoin required to cover expenses, factoring in inflation and potential BTC appreciation.

Dream Calculator 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧

Purpose : Assesses the impact of regularly spending bitcoin on lifestyle improvements like travel, experiences, or family time.

How It Works : Users enter the cost of their annual expenses improving their life (e.g a world trip, a family sabbatical etc), the time horizon, and bitcoin price assumptions. Users can also chose to include additional bitcoin purchases and to preserve a percentage of the original stack to assess the impact on their overall holdings.

Savings Calculator 💰

Purpose : Calculates how much bitcoin a user can accumulate over a chosen period through regular savings.

How It Works : Users input their monthly savings amount, investment duration, and expected bitcoin price growth. The calculator projects total bitcoin accumulated and its future value.

DCA Calculator 💸

Purpose : Illustrates the historical impact of dollar-cost averaging (DCA) bitcoin purchases to reduce market timing risks.

How It Works : Users enters two dates and calculator amount invested establishes the overall return over the period.

Div 296 Unrealised CGT Calculator (for Aussies) 🦘

Purpose : Estimates the impact of Australia’s proposed Division 296 unrealised capital gains tax on superannuation accounts holding bitcoin.

How It Works : Users input their superannuation balance, their age, and projected portfolio returns. The calculator models potential tax liabilities under Div 296 rules - assuming a 15% tax on unrealised gains for balances over AUD $3M, as per current proposals - and highlights the opportunity cost of the ongoing taxation.

I hope you find these tools valuable, I’d love to hear from you! 🧡

If I had used that calculator I would never have retired.

Or maybe I would have adjusted the default settings & had a play.

I still think you're a big dirty bearas.

🤣 nice work bro 🫂

I thought it was steak & orange pills 🤣

Nobody knows the future.

Nothing stops this train - they need to print & they need to print a lot.

Have you watched the MSTR Q2 earnings call? They're focusing on raising capital via their preferred options. A multi trillion dollar market for fixed income that they have very compelling products for. I see this as effectively setting a floor for Bitcoin at these prices.

I'm anticipating more sideways for Q3 with liftoff in Q4.

Black Swan risk is still very much on my radar.

It wasn't the same without you man.

We made do though.

Beef stock makes everything taste better. Chicken stock is good too but it's not even close.

I hate getting these questions because what they're really asking you is "can you take away my risk?"

You've ignored me for years but now you want to buy after it's just gone up significantly in value?

🤦
