GM what a morning. 🫡

Thanks nostr:npub196g3pjp3dl9pk93ufjudsv7lnlx9gqpem545d3adhh497emtfqaq7fggkw this is basically what I do. I just lump sum in when I get paid each month. It’s the conundrum of do I ease back if the price rockets again as it will make daily life a tad easier with a bit more cash to spend on day to day if the market re-corrects. However I shall probably just keep doing what I do as it’s way less stressful. Something very peaceful about value in cold sats rather than in my bank account.

So I wanted to share nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle story about the nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 logo with my “normie” wife. So I gave her a bit of a backstory about Strike, the mission, and the inevitability of outcompeting traditional banks..

While talking, I whip out my phone to get the app logo ready. Halfway through my story, she interrupts me: why do you have an app with a middle finger as a logo?

I’ve been looking at the logo for ages without a clue, and she spots it without a cue in a split second.. she’s a keeper! 😆

Good spot 😂

Apart from my wife, I have no bitcoiners in meatspace to relate this to, so I’m just gonna leave this here. No one will probably read it, but I just want to get this off my chest. Who knows, maybe it will do some good and inspire someone.

I think one of the most underestimated aspects of bitcoin is how it secretly spills over into other parts of your life. Yes, bitcoin is money in the digital age, yes, it’s a finite black hole that will absorb other asset classes, yes, inflation is theft, yes, it can make a median income earner a massive millionaire when done right. But the most underrated aspect in my eyes, and this is propagated by fellas like nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs, is it made me realize how insanely valuable my time is.

When this realization occurred, I made it my number one priority to optimize for my time. So while working the fiat mines for the better part of the last decade, every time I earned a promotion or got a better job, my aim was not to earn more, but spend less time earning the same.

Yes, I could have spent more time in the mines and easily earned 2x of what I did, bought more of the coin with said earnings and be a rich fella with a much bigger car and a much bigger house by now, but you know what? Fuck that!

In stead, I got to be there for my parents, my wife and my kids, take care of them, watch them grow, do volunteer work in the local community, and pursue my hobbies, all while showing the kids that it’s OK to work for a living and contribute to society, and that it’s not normal to get retirement-rich off some crazy bet in your younger years.

Understanding the value of my time, thanks to studying bitcoin, was a life altering moment for me, and I am forever grateful for this realization. No amount of money, bitcoin or otherwise, is worth this lesson learned and the life and experiences it provided.

Who knows, with this in mind, you can look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the extremely confrontational question: what am I doing with my time?!

Thank you for writing this. Really powerful and makes me think about what I want to do with my time. I currently run a family business (with my family) and the expectation is to just work all hours as that’s what we have always done. I love the job but as I get more into bitcoin I do think I will be able to step back with the days worked and start living my life a bit more. Like you said.

Thank you

What point in the bull should we slow the monthly lump sum in if we expect a pull back or is it better to just ape in each month and chill. (The later is my current strategy)

Thanks for sharing nostr:npub1hghnjjpnvkz8t6gkszuf37d7puwc2qtxc65rnklqsngzv6kkug9qhhfyz2 this banger of a show with nostr:npub13fz04jej7nktvtvg24dj926a5ctcmaw6ekp9028eux3pz3csxdrqgd77yu .

I only got to know nostr:npub13fz04jej7nktvtvg24dj926a5ctcmaw6ekp9028eux3pz3csxdrqgd77yu in the last year and he has been very helpful and supportive. Great to see he was being recognized for the cool things he is involved with.

Well worth a listen and after finding some of his old memes it was fantastic to listen to underworld born slippy on full blast whilst cooking dinner.

Here’s to the local plebs and all they do. 💪🏼💪🏼🫡
