Great question... Do you have kids? I've found, that even with the best will in the world, my time is simply second best first thing in the morning. There always a mouth to feed, a bum to wipe, a early wake up to soothe back to sleep, that I don't even bother trying to get a morning routine in.

I used to find it the best time to write though, that I totally agree. Crystal clear when you first wake up

As they get older I will aim to get something like a morning writing ritual going, but right now I am just not stressing myself out about it

Ps - I read a great book "create first, consume second" which was nice for just this problem

Really appreciate your attention and support!

The coolest thing about this concept: it's a value add for anyone

Ie we should all be growing our personal brands!

This is so on point

Chuck in the additiction machine (iPhone) and it’s bang on

Love this so much. Nostr is a test on delayed gratification in a way

We know it has the right ingredients

It’s just a matter of time, building, trying, failing, and iterating

Great response and thanks so much for taking the time to watch the pod

Don't forget: it's ok to make mistakes

Often easier said than done

What you do as a result is the key

Doing my end of week statement of assets is always more fun when Bitcoin is moving to the upside

Interesting to observe the patting on the back of one's own decisions

Being paid for hard choices multiple years ago

Opening up opportunities previously unseen

Important to temper this vibe with the knowledge there will be a downside

How Nostr Aligns with Bitcoin's Principles

"How many grossly unhealthy people do you see at Bitcoin conferences? At other conferences I go to—like surgical conferences—the average person is much more unhealthy.

So what is it about Bitcoiners and Bitcoin? I think it's a time preference thing. When you have hope for the future, when you can plan for the future, when you can save for the future, you're incentivized to have a set of behaviors that are advantageous. Whereas if your money is disappearing beneath you and there's no incentive to save, you're more likely to spend the money and perhaps live for the now—maybe eat a bit more fatty food, drink a bit more, gamble a bit more. And all of those unhealthy, consumerist-type, fiat-incentivized behaviors contribute to why we've seen an explosion in obesity in the Western world since the 70s."

Why Bitcoiners Are Healthier Than Most Doctors

npub1sx7y76csd7qarknpp4wp2ghpe87j9xhqu54tjp079nxjapr2sexqn8w69a and I discuss why Bitcoiners tend to live healthier lives, how sound money lowers time preference, and why fiat incentives lead to consumption, obesity, stress, and poor life choices.

Can Free Markets Fix Healthcare?

npub1sx7y76csd7qarknpp4wp2ghpe87j9xhqu54tjp079nxjapr2sexqn8w69a and I discuss the barriers to applying free market solutions in healthcare. We explore why essential services like medicine don’t function well under pure capitalism, how public and private systems interact in Australia, and why the US model fails to balance access and affordability.

Bit behind on content posted to Nostr

Lots of podcast value in bound

Oops

Might have just zapped you

Great sentiment

Bitcoin is just money. Money is for spending

Ofc the choice of what to spend it on is totally up to you

Value is in the eye of the beholder

Are Bond Vigilantes Buying Bitcoin?

What Rising Bond Term Premia Could Be Telling Us

The global bond sell-off is being driven by rising term premia—the extra yield investors demand to hold long-term debt—as post-COVID fiscal deficits, ageing demographics, and surging debt issuance fuel concerns over sustainability. While the US remains relatively resilient (with term premia up just 10bp vs. 37bp in Germany and the UK), its yields are still artificially suppressed by circa 50bp due to ā€˜Indirect QE’ (short-term debt issuance), meaning 10-year Treasuries should already be yielding above 5%. Japan’s worsening debt outlook and Europe’s fiscal loosening are amplifying global pressures, forcing the US Treasury to shift issuance towards shorter maturities and, hence, boost liquidity. Rising term premia could support risk assets (stocks, gold, Bitcoin) if driven by liquidity injections, but a disorderly spike in yields or loss of confidence in sovereign debt (e.g, Japan’s Gerald Ratner moment) poses systemic risks. Investors should brace for higher yields while monitoring liquidity-driven tailwinds benefiting equities and monetary inflation hedges, like gold and Bitcoin...

In short: HODL

I prefer to frame it as ā€œdisrupt central banksā€

Upend their domination with a free market driven, superior solution, such that people simply choose the better option

šŸ’ŖšŸ»

HODL on tight!

Fascinating to watch it play out in real time

In years to come this period of 2020 to 2025 will be something I will struggle to remember properly due to how insane it was on a personal level

Adoption of Bitcoin is an incredible thing

Make Savings Technology Great Again!

Great point

My 4.5 year old daughter likes to go out and look at the stars before bed

I am often busy cleaning the kitchen, or some other low-level task

Must find the patience to do it with her

Watching your purchasing power surge is one thing, slowing down and actually feeling it is another

Have a vision, create a self-image, build a strategy, stay focused, tune out the noise, and enjoy
