Contrarian truth: the more you give, the more you get back
Saw a great clip recently of a successful entrepreneur talking about the importance of donating 10% of all income, that worked amazingly for them as they built wealth
Critically they started doing it when their paycheck was $1500
So $150 was just given away each time
The point that really hit home: “if you can’t gift $150 out of $1500, then you’ll never gift $15k when you’ve made $150k”
Point is, you have to give to get
Simply really
Have made sure to tip people who’ve helped me as much as possible lately and it really is amazing how good the feedback is

Escaping the Fiat Trap with Bitcoin: Reclaiming Your Time & Freedom w/ Daniel Prince (JWP25)
In Episode 25 of The Jake Woodhouse Podcast, Daniel Prince and I explore using failure setting as a tool for growth, the role of Bitcoin in allowing us to reclaim our time, the tradeoffs of choosing where to live, the journey of starting a podcast, the value of leaving space for creativity in learning, the challenge of beating the Bitcoin hurdle rate, and what the next 12 months will bring for Bitcoin.
nostr:note1vnc57kcd2q9w0m2y4sudfn7pyrmjvan2cym7dpndu9f9f30kveqsv3se7yEpic! Well done guy. You helped me learn so much
Amazing progress. Well done! The proof-of-work right there
The coolest thing though: the wisdom you have gained as a result
Which combined with the new network of friends, I reckon is arguably priceless
Keep it up!
Our sense of time is so bad
Eg mountains as you say
But also eg paying rent for 12 months. Omg that looks like a lot, but it’s so hard to calculate in 12 months how wealthy you will be or feel, and often that economic calculation is wrong
Long duration plus compounding totally cooks us!
Fascinating. Regardless of right or wrong, being able to account for balance sheet growth as earnings is a big change
So re my point of competition. No one can match the MSTR btc stack, so their earnings growth will be the biggest, meaning their equity price will be more volatile to the upside than others. Ie even if you setup a BTC treasury now, as a fund or equity, your earnings growth can never match MSTR
Interesting
Thank you for sharing
What’s the best resource for a summary on FASB alterations and impacts? Certainly an area I’ve not delved into much
When you say “revenue” I am confused. Owning Bitcoin on the balance sheet that increases in value, due to its underlining price appreciation then pushes equity value, but where does revenue change?
If a company owns a real estate portfolio, and those assets increase in value, so does the balance sheet and equity value, but it doesn’t change the revenues of those assets
I love this kind of idea. Where I get tripped up: the equity multiple to nav. As it blows out, 3x, 6x, maybe 10x, the incentive for additional entities to compete with a leveraged bitcoin balance sheet play increases.
It could be publicly traded equities, or a fund, doesn’t really matter, but as an investor why pay 10x nav multiple for Bitcoin exposure, when competition comes in at 3x? You wouldn’t
Yes the inclusion into the snp 500 will require some cascade allocations from index trackers etc, but that only pushes the multiple to nav further away from the inbound competitor entities
Happy to be proven wrong. But struggle to see your vision become reality

Michael Saylor vs Saifedean Ammous: Debt on a Bitcoin Standard
Will borrowing still make sense in on Bitcoin standard? Mikey Scans and I examine how leverage fuels real estate and business banking, why counterparty risk matters, and how institutions like MicroStrategy are playing the debt game to acquire more Bitcoin. We also revisit the Saylor vs. Saifedean debate on Bitcoin lending and discuss whether a future of sound money will push us away from a debt based financial system.
"The closer we get to nature, the healthier we get. Nutrition science is completely broken. There’s a study to support every argument: coffee is good, coffee is bad; meat is good, meat is bad.
The entire system is full of incentives that create confusion. I made sense of it all by simply understanding that nature knows best. If in doubt, choose the more natural approach—it’ll probably be healthier for you."

Should Everyone Try the Carnivore Diet?
In this episode with Mikey Scans, we explore how adopting the carnivore diet transformed health and decision-making, why taking full responsibility is the key to overcoming illness, the flaws in modern nutrition science, the power of self-experimentation, and whether everyone should consider going carnivore for better health.
this happens all the time. So annoying. Notifications are hard enough to follow... The beauty of the open protocol though, is I assume, given enough time and capital, someone will create a tool to get rid of them

The Power of Meditation: A Journey into Past Life Healing
I explore a guided meditation session that took me somewhere I never expected. A spiritual encounter, an alternative reality, and a feeling of being "unplugged" from this world...was this past life healing?
Yeah nice. So easy to become yet another guy spinning the same rumours in the pub…
What should be a common goal, but is in fact a dream for most:
"I want to build a life that I never need a vacation from"
Our attention is our scarcest resource. Allocate accordingly
Why bother!!
But also good to trial.
The main with ETH that I always like to ask people, “have you mined ETH”
If they have: they all agree it’s not actually decentralised
If they haven’t: they haven’t understood under the hood
Saying that, an exchange getting hacked is another thing, “not your keys, not your coins!”
The extraordinary state of a HODLer in self custody
I feel the same
Really is an amazing phenomenon, that we’re lucky to be so early on
As others feel the peace within, when the turmoil rages around outside, it really does give credence to the fact Bitcoin adoption is inevitable
I am quite confused by your response… it doesn’t make sense to me
Gold reserves if not as stated would be a huge blow to the US Government reputation
Bond markets would suffer. Equity markets would suffer. Their geopolitical power would suffer
I doubt there will be an audit in the end. But I’d love to see one
For 50 years, the US government has refused to audit Fort Knox.
They tell you the gold is there, but they won't prove it.
Do you trust them?
Trend is obvious. What’s interesting is the amount of emotional, educational, and societal barriers to entry
It takes a certain type of person. Especially to do it in size
From one of my favourite technical analysts:
G’day all. Just a reminder that Corrections are normal.
📌 Drops like this have happened multiple times since the start of the cycle.
📌 The market needs to cool off before the next expansion phase, nothing moves up in a straight line.
Stay calm. Avoid the noise (mainstream news).
📍We are still in a long term uptrend🔥
📍We are still 3 weeks away from entering our 25 week sell window where the final top takes place
📍We are 16 weeks away from the “Thrill” phase
📍Still 23 weeks away from when Bitcoin confirms the top is in (70-90wks post halving)
📍Bitcoin experiences a weekly Stochastic RSI cross every ~6 months resulting in a large move. Currently it’s severely oversold ⬇️, there is only one direction to go ⬆️
📍Bitcoin has a 85% correlation to the global M2 money supply, with a 70 day lag, we have now caught up to its uptick.
📍Next target medium term target is 120k, and macro target is 170k.
📍Lastly we have just begun a 60 day cycle and 26 week cycle. Lots of confluence. And we are experiencing the most bullish environment I have ever witnessed in my 7 years in this space.
Be patient. Time is on our side.
