Mine was pretty basic and practical - basically helping onboard people with general wallet info. A guy named Leon Wankum covered the type of stuff in this quote post and he was awesome. I'd give him a look.

2025-05-12 21:04:27

This kind of stuff is being shown to real estate investors around the world right now. I've recently spoken at a real estate event in Toronto and the people are insanely interested... in some cases beginning to offload properties and just buy BTC with the proceeds. The tides are shifting. Bitcoin is sucking the air out of the room.

Added Nuance: the government is behind the "store of value" and financialization movement exclusively - IMO as a forced capitulation they believe they can still control.
The real resistance is opting out of dollars entirely and using it as your primary money. Fuck the system.

Nah. Running a node in any form is great. People will have preferences on which setup they like best. Denigrating people for not having the most cypherpunk setup possible is counterproductive.

If I can't get people in the door to funnel them into the tutorials I still spend 80% of my time on, then I'm not able to catch new people before ACTUAL shitcoiners get them.

Still doing weekly tutorials but I need a way to funnel new people to them. If I don't catch people first, they're gonna the up in the hands of the same people that got them rekt on trading and leverage last cycle.
1. Catch them with title/thumbnails like these
2. Use this content to shift them to the educational self sovereignty mindset and get them taking self custody, learning the tools, etc

2025-04-24 04:34:35

- reply

These are my macros currently.
Right now while I'm trying to gain I'm not averse to getting carbs from wherever I can as long as I'm not consuming a ton of refined sugars. I find it hard eating enough so topping up with a liquid diet a bit helps. The most important thing (and at first the hardest for me) is getting the protein requirements. I try to eat a lot of steak and eggs but I honestly couldn't hit my numbers if that was all I ate.
Fruit, veggies, nuts, even the occasional peanut butter sandwich, basmati rice, potatoes, etc.
When I go to cut it will be primarily animal based tho.

https://m.primal.net/QayT.png

2025-04-23 18:38:35

- reply

I think a number of things play in there.
1. Shot one at home, shot two at the gym post workout
2. This is the most I've ever eaten on a regular basis and the first time I've ever gained weight at this speed
3. The detailed blood test and subsequent sit down with a practitioner to figure out what I'm deficient in has likely made a HUGE difference in my ability to metabolize all the food I'm taking in properly
4. This is the highest frequency of weight lifting I've ever done, at 6 times a week.
5. My natural state is skinny, when I put on muscle it really shows, and there likely a bit of a muscle memory thing here given that I've trained in the past relatively consistently.
I wouldn't be discouraged, I would perhaps look into testing for what you're lacking and fill in those gaps.

2025-04-23 17:21:45

Funny enough, my levels were actually quite low when I tested in February. Looking forward to seeing improvement in October!

2025-04-23 16:23:50

- reply

Yeah man, this was since late February. 3000 calories per day, a supplement regimen, and weights 6 days per week. I've never been about to get this amount of results so quickly.

2025-04-23 16:13:05

Huge shout-out to Michael Morelli. I've been on his FITSCRIPT program since late February and the results are insane. Right now I'm working on adding muscle/weight.
-Started with blood tests for 120+ markers to see what I'm deficient in
-Personalized one on one with practitioner to lay out my eating and supplement regimen
-Personalized workout regime and bi weekly check ins
I now weigh more than I ever have, am just about to finish my bulking phase and move into cutting so I can see more definition in my midsection. For those curious, no I haven't started on TRT - I'll examine that option at the 6 month mark based on my levels then and what I'm able to achieve on my own.
Feeling great after just turning 40, can't wait to see the results from this next leg!

Personally I like multisig (assisted) for long term cold storage. I can unilaterally move funds, but also have a fallback if I screw up. It also keeps things accessible for my family.
I still use single sig and passphrases for medium sized amounts and monthly cash flows, given that I live on Bitcoin.
