In 2011, I was inspired by Ron Paul, Peter Schiff & Robert Kiyosaki to save in sound money.
I took my entrepreneurial savings & bought gold & silver. Then I discovered magic internet money & started buying & mining Bitcoin at $10.
I recently posted about how I was operating from fear and how that was going to change.
After some reflection, I realize I wouldn’t be protected with a Bitcoin shield today without fear.
Fear is a powerful motivator.
Don’t ignore your fear, but, don’t let it control you.
Harness it and let it be a super power.
Is your fear real? If yes - then Cheerfully & Constructively do something about it. My doing something about it was productively protesting a corrupt system by saving in sound money.
Of course like all early pioneers, I didn’t make it to the promised land completely unscathed. Selling too much Bitcoin early, trusting insiders & exchanges, not having a risk management system, etc.
I’ll probably have a very hard time to ever make it back to my high watermark in BTC terms.
However, I just bought more BTC as we flipped Silver because I studied and learned lessons.
The first half of my life was about acquiring knowledge, mental toughening & learning lessons through experiences and gathering resources.
I was moving forward with naive hope and dreams, attracting success, but energy was leaking everywhere, high entropy.
Now I'm focusing my mind and body. I’m assembling a team. I’m moving into Citadel building mode.
Step 1 to building your bitcoin citadel is to have a clear vision and define the object objectives.
Clearly articulate the mission, goals, and values of your Bitcoin Citadel.
Outline how you envision the Citadel supporting your community, the Bitcoin ecosystem, your investments, and cultural projects you’re passionate about.
Your citadel must be big enough with fertile soil to allow for others to plant their dreams and grow within the protection of your walls.
