After having a little money for a few years and dabbling in some of the finer things I can tell you that nothing beats an ordinary life.

- Getting a slice of pizza and seeing a movie with your wife.

- Hitting the bar and having drinks and conversation with your friends.

- Hanging out at the park throwing a frisbee around.

- Taking the kids for ice cream on a hot summer day.

- An economy plane ticket to go visit family or an old friend.

- A reliable car that takes you where you need to go.

- A great blanket to snuggle up in on a cold winter day.

If you have these things already, trust me… you are wealthier than you know.

Drinking $1,000 wine and eating caviar with famous people won’t make you any happier. In fact it may have the opposite effect.

As the bitcoin price rises you should definitely dabble in fancy shit if you feel compelled, but once you get a peak behind the curtain you’ll find out pretty quick it’s hollow and meaningless compared to the things that really matter.

do you think an a small unopened bottle of extra virgin olive oil on someone’s nightstand is mysteriously incriminating?

We took advantage of the sun and went for a 5+ mile hike around the lake today. Fresh air and and father son bonding. 💜🤙🏻🫂

What should I have for dinner?

Price of stuff doesn't go up. Value of money goes down. Few understand this.

Today marks 25 years since my country was bombed, in the operation called “Merciful angel” or “Angel of Mercy” - whatever.

In 78 days of air strikes:

- 420k bombs were dropped on us

- 4k died (81 child)

- 25k homes destroyed, plus:

- 14 airports

- 18 kindergartens

- 39 hospitals

- 69 schools

- 176 historical sites

- 500+ kilometers of roads

Etc

I was nine. I remember my nose bled from fear. I don’t know how me being scared caused my nose to bleed, but it happened.

I remembered the duffle bag packed next to the door, with a few cans of food inside of it, some clean clothes, passports, and all gold jewelry we had- cuz we didn’t know if it would get worse.

I still have ptsd triggered every time I head air strikes sirens. Luckily, I don’t hear them much- only when they are testing if those still work, or when are paying tributes to the casualties.

Anyway, for years to follow, my father would use any opportunity to gift us gold jewelry. Why? Because: “If it gets bad again, money won’t worth much. We learned that in 1994. You exchange these ear rings/bracelets/necklaces for food or anything you need.

Nowadays, I don’t have a run away bag prepared. But trust me when I tell you, I could pack one in jut a few minutes.

Nowadays, I don’t buy my kid gold jewelry, I stack sats.

It could be one of the reasons why I’m bitcoining. It gives me a hope. An escape plan, among other things.

As for the first part of my note, let’s stop for a second to think about all kids around the world, their traumas, bleeding noses from fear and sleepless nights. Let’s pray for their beautiful souls and innocent lives.

Reminder:

The #2A is a threat of violence.

Threats of violence toward tyranny have always been the way of good men.

The more dangerous goodness is, the less likely we will have to prove that we are.

Stack training.
