Why Bitcoin matters and why I am focusing all my attention on it.

Over the past few years, I've found myself slowly — and then all at once — focusing more of my time, energy, and thinking on Bitcoin.

I wanted to take a moment to share the "why" behind that decision, because it's not just a tech fascination or an investment play. It's deeper.

It's about time, value, agency, and the kind of future I want to build — for myself, and for those around me.

In a recent podcast with jakewoodhouse (nprofile…snwf), I unpacked a lot of this. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/Q-PH1fqgELU

Here's the core of what I shared:

🔍 Understanding the System
Like many, I used to believe that saving money was the path to a secure future. But I came to realize the system we're in — one of endless currency debasement — is not designed to preserve value. In fact, it slowly erodes the fruits of our labor and sacrifices. When I truly understood that the money in your bank isn't really yours, that became a turning point.

⚡️ Bitcoin as a Choice
Bitcoin offers an alternative. It's a money with rules, not rulers. It's scarce, predictable, and resistant to manipulation — which means it offers a radically different way to store the value of our time and effort. It's not just programmable money — it's truth-based value storage that's verifiable and free from control.

💡 Agency and Alignment
For me, Bitcoin isn't just about price or technology. It's about agency — the ability to take control of your life, your time, and your energy. It helps align decision-making with long-term thinking. In a world full of noise and manipulation, Bitcoin gives you the space to think clearly about your future. I'm more intentional about the projects I support, the ideas I chase, and even how I parent.

🧠 A Philosophical Shift
The deeper I go, the more I see Bitcoin not just as a financial revolution, but as a philosophical one. It challenges us to reevaluate what we build, why we build, and how we define progress. One of my favorite memes sums it up: "When are you going to sell?" — "Sell for what?" Once you really understand Bitcoin, your entire framework changes.

This shift in perspective is why I started my own podcast, Bitcoin for Millennials, to help others think critically about their future too.

If you want more context; in this recent podcast with MRMPODCAST (nprofile…2zfu) I share Why Ignoring Bitcoin Now Is a Huge Mistake.
