Degrees of crazy i guess .. spoken to a lot of Bitcoiners who all say: I wish i stacked harder earlier

Savings and spending

Savings are the store of excess you create against future uncertainty

Bitcoin is the ultimate savings tool

As Bitcoin goes through this crazy monetisation process, those savings get turbo-charged

Many will find themselves with new and previously unimaginable choices open to them, and to their families and their communities

This is where spending comes in

Should you have excess savings - beyond your definition of “enough” - then you can now make meaningful change to those lives you care most about

Fundamentally you need to search and find what matters to you, and what change you can make in the world, once you’re making decisions without regard to financial impact

This is a significant mindset shift

The mantra of “never sell your bitcoin” has a useful meme half-life of two cycles: the first where you are still learning what Bitcoin is, and the second where you’re stacking like a crazy person

After that, be extremely cautious of those screaching “never sell your bitcoin” at you - they most likely have a product for you

There is NO borrowing without risking your collateral

In the end .. exactly what part of “permissionless money” are some of these folks not getting?

Beware your ego trap

One of the best bits of advice i received as a young software developer was:

“it is amazing how much you can achieve if you don’t care who gets the credit”

Never were truer words spoken

Resonated then, and as a Bitcoiner even more so. Figure out what your mission is. Focus on *it*. Think hard about your ego and don’t let it run the show

Remain humble 🤝

Grateful to y’all

One of the most subtly beatiful things Bitcoin brings is other Bitcoiners from all across the planet

I’m so grateful for the many I’ve met and know who’ve challenged me, taught me, argued with me, corrected me, helped and guided me .. and the many I’ve had the pleasure to laugh and drink and eat and talk with

If you’re a Bitcoiner who hasn’t met other Bitcoiners yet, consider doing so as the rewards are vast
