GM Gigi! It's a new day! Just carry on!

I fucking love how nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx is putting nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy to the test here right in the beginning by what he means with "multivariables" and "supercycle". Even among these two close friends, they still uphold the spirit of "don't trust, verify" and question each other.

That is what makes it so authentic and one of my favorite podcasts.

This was a banger of an episode.

THE FAT KID PROBLEM:

A few weeks ago we had an unannounced health check at our school by the Ministry of Health in cooperation with the Ministry of Education.

It was the first one in years! I think the last one was more than 5 years ago.

They documented height, weight and other things.

We got the results three weeks ago.

The problem is that over 40% of the children are overweight.

No big surprise, but still a shitty result.

So the school board got together and presented the results to the parents and had an evening event.

The parents were upset!

That's basically bodyshaming!

That's playing with the mental health of the kids to call them fat!

The very next week, the school board decided to order a snack machine for our children at our school. There was a vote. These are the results of the teacher vote: 32 in favor, one abstained, two against. Me and a colleague.

The argument in favor of a vending machine: parents find it too difficult to prepare breakfast for their children in the morning.

This week on Wednesday the vending machine arrived and was installed.

There are only two sugar free times in this machine: Water and sparkling water. (65 and 66 in the photo)

Since Wednesday, the kids are late for class and have to use the bathroom exponentially (to get to the vending machine during class).

That's our solution to the obesity problem?

Sugary items and not telling the kids that they might have a problem based on their diet and behavior?

Fuck this fiat system!

I still tell my kids to exercise every day, eat healthy, and do something about their extra weight!

Proof of work is what I teach them every day and will continue to do so!

Fight the fiat monster wherever you can!

Gratitude and greatness are so close together! You show your gratitude with some great gift which generates even more gratitude! What a wonderful story!

GM! Spread freedom and happiness in the world!

show me narcissism 🤣

Today the kids left this gift on my board! It roughly translates to "We love your class".

That's more valuable and precious than all the bitcoin FOMO right now.

Get out there and change lives! Do real things!

Story time:

6 years ago my mother in law was left penniless in a surprise divorce at age 67.

My father in law (piece of shit) had left her with nothing and planned to dump her on social security.

She was working as a pre school teacher making $14 an hour.

We had to move fast.

Father in law literally shotgun divorced her.

Showed up at the doorstep with a notary and manipulated an emotionally fragile woman into a binding legal agreement.

I was pissed.

I showed up a few hours later with a series of financial plans.

And with tears still streaming down her face in the kitchen of her tiny apartment, she picked one.

I gave her 3 options.

1. Aggressive

2. Extremely aggressive

3. Dave Ramsey rice and beans

She chose number 3.

Over the next 4 years she rode her bike to work everyday. Watered down her lemonade. Spent nothing on herself. Walked dogs for extra income. Took weekend shifts at the preschool. Showed up early. Stayed late and against all odds was able to save 12k a year on a salary of only 27k.

I set up a couple retirement accounts for her and whenever she would scratch $1,000 together she would give it to me and I would smash buy GBTC or MSTR.

My mother in law has never invested a day in her life and I didn’t want the news or some boomer friend to freak her out, so my wife and I just tell her she’s invested in ā€œthe marketā€ šŸ˜‚

When Bitcoin (the market) is doing good, we tell her and when it’s not we just… don’t tell her lol

So she’s effectively shielded from the emotional volatility of hodling. Which makes her a very good hodler.

Fast forward to today.

I helped her retire from the preschool. She is now living with us and helping look after her grandchildren.

She went from being near suicidal. My wife and I were legitimately concerned about her mental health. To a happy healthy and vibrant grandmother.

And as of yesterday she crossed 500k in retirement accounts.

I expect she’ll be a millionaire soon.

She can now comfortably retire with dignity.

This is not something that would have been possible without Bitcoin.

As cool as it is to see people like @saylor make billions of dollars these are the stories I live for.

The average person fixing their life with bitcoin.

It’s so fucking beautiful man.

Life’s good.

What a beautiful story!

She really is the "be humble stacke stats" in person!
