10x-ing your personal agency would mean radically increasing your ability to shape your own life, take control of your decisions, and act with unstoppable momentum. Here’s what that could look like:

1. Extreme Ownership – You stop blaming external factors entirely. Every problem in your life, even those caused by others, becomes something you take responsibility for solving.

• Example: Instead of complaining about a bad job or relationship, you immediately take action—quitting, negotiating, setting boundaries, or creating something better.

2. Relentless Decision-Making – You make decisions faster and with more confidence. No more waiting for perfect clarity; you trust yourself and course-correct along the way.

• Example: If you’re unsure about a business idea, you don’t spend months overthinking. You launch, test, iterate, and refine based on real feedback.

3. Maximized Self-Efficacy – You fully believe in your power to accomplish anything. Obstacles don’t make you hesitate; they fuel you.

• Example: Instead of doubting whether you can learn a new skill, you immerse yourself in it until mastery is inevitable.

4. Unshakable Conviction – You stop seeking external validation. Your internal compass dictates your actions, not social pressure or fear of judgment.

• Example: If you believe Bitcoin is the future, you build your life around that belief, regardless of critics.

5. Preemptive Action – You don’t wait for life to happen to you. You anticipate problems, solve them before they arise, and create opportunities before they’re needed.

• Example: Instead of waiting for a financial crisis to remind you to be prepared, you structure your wealth and assets proactively.

6. Radical Self-Discipline – You become immune to distractions and emotional impulses. Your daily actions align with your long-term goals with near-perfect consistency.

• Example: No more “I’ll start tomorrow.” You execute daily, whether it’s fitness, learning, or building.

7. Mastery Over Emotions – You control your emotions instead of them controlling you. Anxiety, doubt, and fear don’t dictate your actions; you override them with logic and action.

• Example: If you feel hesitant to make a big move, you acknowledge the fear but don’t let it stop you.

8. Network Leverage – You stop trying to do everything alone. You build high-value relationships and use collective power to multiply your impact.

• Example: Instead of struggling solo, you surround yourself with top performers and create value together.

9. Obsessive Execution – You move at 10x speed. What takes others a year, you accomplish in a month by eliminating waste and focusing on the highest-value actions.

• Example: Instead of daydreaming about a screenplay, you finish a first draft in a few weeks and refine it through rapid iterations.

10. Freedom From the Default Path – You stop living according to pre-set societal scripts. You design your own reality with no limits.

• Example: Instead of following a conventional career path, you engineer a life that aligns perfectly with your deepest convictions.

If you had 10x your current agency, you would feel like a force of nature—relentless, unshakable, and utterly in control of your destiny.

What’s holding you back from that level now?

People can’t let this go.

Imagine you created something, gave it away for free, and walked away because you didn’t want your privacy violated.

Now imagine a bunch of people with nothing to do keep hunting you down. The result of which is… nothing. Nothing changes if you find SN other than ruining his and the family’s life by doxxing them.

Get a life.

Good afternoon!

I don’t usually make an #espresso at this time but was craving one today.

No #moka pot at the office so dusted the cobwebs off the #nespresso machine.

Whatever it takes to get some additional motivation.

Funny thing is even though it’s nominally at all-time highs, when inflation adjusted, it’s still far from its January 1980 peak…

Absolutely.

Every thumbnail is $250,000??? $1 Million in 2025? With a silly “O” face.

OR How many BTC to retire? 0.21? Get to one BTC!!! 0.1!

I get it. It drives traffic. But good lord is it exhausting.

Just watched again.

It is very good. I’d say ideal for those looking to learn.

I think what threw me off originally (and again this time), was parts 1 and 2 are very Bitcoin 101. Having spent years watching countless podcasts and interviews, I’m tired of the basics lol.

Part 3 resonated the most followed by part 4. Purity of money is a good way to explain it.

I think what I’ve come to realize is, everyone’s journey is different and people get it in their own way, when it’s the right time for them. I don’t consider myself very spiritual or philosophical so maybe that’s why it took me a while to see Bitcoin from this particular angle.

To me it seems like Bitcoin has at least three angles.

- The underlying tech (all systems and components of the Bitcoin engine, think Antonopolous, nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr and nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8).

- The monetary and investment angle (the journey of understanding money and why this is a valid investment, think nostr:npub1cj94enk44kn5mvrcma4sp7jnlsgnn4em7rk3dh3jt4fzyqs3m02s560efa, nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv, nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m )

- The spiritual and revolutionary angle. The spiritual angle is much less explored but the revolutionary angle gets covered a bit more by people like nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pf nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx.

Personally, I started off in both the tech and investment angle (number go up). A little more on the tech side as I tried to understand how it worked under the hood. I then got more curious about the monetary side of it and not just thinking it was another stock. And it took a long time to get to this spiritual angle, which I’m not even sure spiritual is the right word for it.

Anyway, keep up the great work. Will have to go through your content little by little. Incredible how much I have yet to discover, it’s a seemingly an endless journey.

I actually did watch it a few months ago but honestly, it didn't resonate at the time (or I got distracted, which happens frequently).

I'll have to watch it again, will try to do tonight or tomorrow and report back.

"Bitcoin is a spiritual awakening" would have been an equally good title. Although some might have been turned away thinking there would be religious content.

First time doing one of these.

Anyone else want to join?

It’s really great to see others having come to the same conclusion and thought process.

I’ve heard and read some of philosophical thoughts from folks like nostr:npub1hk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqvv20pf and nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs but honestly that part of Bitcoin was always kind of w/e to me.

But now I get where they are coming from even more.

To be honest though, I’ll never be able to tell this to anyone I know IRL because they’ll think I’m going insane having spiritual awakenings over c++ code. They’ll be like “bro wtf are you talking about. Are you going for Chiefs or Eagles?” lol

For whatever reason it didn’t quite click until just now. Even though I instinctively knew it was right for me, I didn’t know exactly why. Like a missing puzzle piece I was finally able to locate.

Strange to feel this way about a system that won’t feel the same way back. lol

At least there are others which share the same experience, thanks for the reply!

The first Savage Garden album was my first CD purchase (with my own money).

I don't care what anyone says, that album still kicks ass.

Looking back, it should have been Sound Garden but it is what it is lol

My natural tendency to not trust led me to Bitcoin.

Others run when they see the price swing 10% in a few hours – then come back when things settle.

But price and volatility are just noise. Yeah, it’s nice when the number goes up, but that’s not what truly draws me to Bitcoin. For a long time, I couldn’t quite put my finger on what did.

I find comfort in knowing Bitcoin keeps working, exactly as intended, no matter who says what or what people value it at.

Bitcoin is an engine. It keeps purring while the world panics.

I think I finally get it. In a world which can be full of disappointment, letdowns, instability, lies, and selfishness – Bitcoin provides truth and reliability.

#Bitcoin will be there, endlessly doing its thing, no matter what. You can forget about it, come back years later, and it’s still there, producing blocks, verifying truth.

Everything in life comes and goes. Bitcoin will always be there… time after time.
