Getting an amazing amount of daily zaps āš”ļø thank you all, you beautiful people! Appreciate you!

I’m having an existential moment, the background,

1. In January, I unexpectedly lost my job, although I had a sense that it might happen.

2. As a single father, my primary focus is taking care of my two children full-time.

3. I’ve successfully sold Salesforce consulting services for the last 12 years, I’ve really enjoyed helping customers achieve their goals and learnt so much along the way about tons of organisations in all kinds of industries.

4. I’ve had enough of it, the Salesforce culture and ecosystem has lost its lustre for me, it’s all too woke, carbon hysterical, there’s no joy anymore

5. For the last few years I’ve fallen down the bitcoin rabbit hole and loved it, I’m passionate, educated, articulate, I get excited about taking about it and do a good job getting others interested in it, it’s how I used to feel about my fiat job

6. I really need to find some work that gets me as juiced as selling services used to and that bitcoin does, or I need to snap out of it and get back in the fiat mine, it’s not that I’m not interviewing I am but I just can’t get me enthusiasm going.

Getting this out of my head and into the world, I find it helps me process it, and I know a ton of you will be struggling with how bitcoin changes you.

100% agree, my last employer was so excited they were paying to be net zero. Couldn’t understand why I thought it was horse shit!

Heading to the Salesforce World Tour conference in Sydney today, see if I can land myself a job or at least some beer.

It’ll be interesting to see how much mention there is of the dramatic layoffs that have happened. My bet is none.

ā€œIt’s all very polite in public, but behind closed doors, the bosses of the country’s big industry super funds must grind their teeth every time Treasurer Jim Chalmers mentions his dream of directing some of the country’s $3.3 trillion in retirement savings into areas such as clean energy, aged care and social housing.ā€

Not only do I not trust superfunds to invest with my best interests at heart, I definitely don’t trust politicians to direct those investments effectively, show me a project that has ever been run on time and on budget that a government has had anything to do with.

Same hazard of the platform just happened to be a funny one šŸ¤™šŸ¼

Do you trust that your superannuation fund is investing with your best interests at heart, with transparency and integrity.

They probably aren’t. They’ll do anything to turn a buck and not get called out for under performing their mandate.

It might be better to opt out and take control of your own funds and get them into self custody #bitcoin

Actual details, earnings on balances over $3m will be taxed at 30% instead of 15%. No limit to the amount allowed in super accounts.

#bitcoin has no yield so makes crap all difference. No other changes at this point.

I noticed, it just made me hungry so I had to go eat something and got distracted!
