The days when Bitcoin makes people wealthy are largely ahead of us
Adoption in a meaningful sense is 1% or less
Think how many people will buy back their time?
Mind blowing
Every person is in a different situation. Age. Location. Earning power. Net assets. Debt access. Etc
But no doubt the larger the bitcoin position, plus the passage of time, leads to an increase in quality of life
Exposing the Inflation Lie: How Money Printing Is Stealing Your Time and Energy
"You have to ask the question: What is money? Bitcoin is just money, and all these other [crypto tokens] are really poor forms of money."
Jake Woodhouse / Ep.14 / 13:31
Yeah I love that podcast as well. Let me put this down on my list of things to run through when next doing a solo episode
Appreciate the insights
The Dark Side of Crypto: Bitcoin vs Altcoins
I explore the world of altcoin speculation and why it's fundamentally different from Bitcoin. Many people lump Bitcoin and crypto together, but they are not the same—Bitcoin is a decentralized, fixed-supply monetary asset, while altcoins are often speculative, insider-controlled projects.
Where Are We in Bitcoin's Adoption Cycle? (Nation States Are Coming)
Trading Altcoins: Who is the Exit Liquidity? (JWP14)
In Episode 14 of The Jake Woodhouse Podcast, I break down what an altcoin is, explain the key differences between Bitcoin and “crypto”, discuss the reality of altcoin speculation, share my personal experience and the case for home birth, and explore the beauty of trying to live with kindness, ease, and grace.
New episodes drop Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Let's learn together.

Universal Law 101: This Simple Shift Will Radically Change Your Life
Jason Parks and I explore energy transmutation, perpetual increase, and the power of compounding success. How do small shifts in mindset reshape reality?
Moat - no idea. Need to study it
I'll share my list and decisions when it starts to get spicy
Very interested to see how Fold (FLD) trades on the public market
My current feeling is that I prefer Bitcoin in self-custody to anything
But I am starting to build a collection of public equities I like
With a view to a speculative allocation at the bottom of the next bear
Whilst I like hearing of governments attempting to reduce taxes, balance deficits, and be more productive
When their is a money printer available on the back-end, I am very dubious as to the potential results
The US being more efficient, certainly slows the adoption of Bitcoin, at least in that country in particular
What I believe has always been the case remains true though:
Product-market-fit for Bitcoin is on the fringes, in countries with no financial services, and crazy inflation rates
Fascinating period unfolding no doubt
So glad to hear you enjoyed it. Jason is awesome I totally agree
Keep posting here please Larry. I'd actually love to see more economics, macro, and tradfi investment information on Nostr
The Bullish Case for Bitcoin
"If you want to be in the top 1% of something, you have to get to the point where you no longer care what 99% of people say or think about you. You must simply make it irrelevant. Why would I care about that? They don't have to do what I'm doing, but if I'm aiming at excellence—absolute excellence—I cannot be listening to people who think that mediocre is okay. And the problem is, that's most people by definition. It's very difficult. Everywhere you go, you're surrounded by it, and you've just got to be able to hold that vision of what you're creating. You've got to hold it absolutely solid and safe and still, and you have to protect it with your life, because that's what you're going to pay for it. So you've got to have that so protected, and at the same time, you can't hold it too tight, otherwise, you'll crush it and you won't get to where you want."

The Art of Smart Work: Balancing Energy In, Energy Out
Jason Parks shares his method for balancing focused work with energy restoration, the importance of eliminating waste, and why slowing down can actually make you more successful. We also discuss the psychology of unfinished tasks, how your brain processes problems, and why misallocating energy is just like misallocating capital in investing.
Not many people dig around in portfolio theory and investment allocation structure
But looking at the sharpe ratio of Bitcoin, which is essentially a metric that says BUY BITCOIN, was yet another moment I feel further down the rabbit hole
Pension, insurance, family office funds all understand this kind of lens
Upshot: huge amounts of inbound demand, once they figure it out
Let's create the future of media on Nostr.

Substack competition is a great place to be iterating
There’s a sham legal process. No one to blame. Don’t worry we still have the US Army and Navy. Gold price surges on scarcity increase. A search as to where the gold is. Ultimately people figure out Bitcoin is better than gold.
So interesting to see what happens
I wouldn’t want to be holding a gold derivative, thinking it was a true claim on the real thing

Skiing is such an epic day out. Where do you go? Was lucky to ski in Switzerland a lot when growing up
