We have 2 beautiful, smart, whitty funny little boys.
My wife desperately wanted more. A little girl to round out the family.
I always said no because I didn’t think we could afford it.
I worried about sacrificing too much to provide for another.
I worried about schooling, I worried about travel, I worried about having an affordable and comfortable lifestyle for all of us.
I had a fiat mindset, because I didn’t know any different.
I didn’t realise there was a solution that would enable everything we wanted through hard work and time preference.
Now, I fear we have left it too late to safely go after what we want due to age.
Fiat robbed me and my family of something truly beautiful and I will never forgive or forget.

I’ve read a lot of investing books, I lost count around the 60 mark…
And I’ve got to say, one of the best books I ever read was circa 2019 for me and it was written by none other than @npub1s5y…6q7z
It was called the Warren Buffet Accounting Book. It was one of the most comprehensive books to lay out a value investing framework aswell as the authors best estimate on what Discounted Cash Flow model the great investor Warren Buffet may deploy when valuing a stock.
@npub1s5y…6q7z rarely talks about his books but having written a book myself, I deeply respect the hustle this gentleman has put into everything he touches. He taught me much more about myself than he taught me about investing.
It was this DCF modelling that eventually lead me to realise just how drastically overvalued EVERYTHING was and what ultimately lead me down the rabbit hole to learn about money.
Forever grateful to you sir.
Needless to say my new hurdle rate is much higher than the “risk free rate of return” I was comparing against in 2019. Onwards

Fully flexible based off Australia Curriculum. From the research we (read:wifey) did this gives us a nice framework to make sure we are ticking off a few boxes while giving us the flexibility to opt into and out of the parts of the curriculum that either don’t resonate with us, can otherwise be covered off or whatever justification we can think of.

Understanding energy grids:
When new developments such as industrial complexes and subdivisions are proposed a key component is their electrical supply.
Engineers involved in the design process will make many assumptions on the maximum demand expectation of the final installation.
Many assumptions are made at this stage of the design, often using a variety of design metrics.
Engineers then, being engineers, will add a safety margin to these estimated demand calculations to ensure they have enough headroom for error.
The situation they want to avoid is underestimating the expected demand.
Underestimating can lead to disastrous and expensive remediation works in the future.
Large installations will inevitably end up with at least one or multiple transformers, typically ground mounted for new subdivisions.
The developer will put in an application with the network provider stipulating the installation requirements to gain a cost for connection.
As the engineers have often over engineered their expected demand, this expected demand informs the rest of the design:
- The size of cables
- The maximum length of cable, which informs how many transformers are needed and their locations.
- The size of the transformers
- the number of LV circuits at each transformer.
- and the total expected billable demand.
The network operator then has to use this information to assess the connection point to see if there is enough capacity in the network to support the requested demand.
Each connection assessment is assessed from the substation supplying the electrons, through the feeder conductors/cables, accounting for existing demand, peak demand limits, alternate tie points and network contingency plans.
Network operators are often heavily regulated entities with rules around what they can and cannot charge in regard to electricity supply.
An internal design is completed with network upgrade estimates.
These designs and their associated network upgrade costs are run through an internal price-book to determine what percentage of the upgrade costs the applicant will need to pay.
If there is a “shared network benefit” in upgrading the backbone conductor, the applicant only contributes a portion of this cost. After all, why should they pay for a whole network upgrade, right?
They will also receive a discount based on projected future revenues? How much is the entity likely to receive based on their usage to help offset the initial cost of network upgrades? This also makes the cost of new connections affordable for new customers?
There are three evident flaws in this approach:
1. Engineers over design, therefore the designed upgrades to the network and costs incurred to the entity to provide the requested supply is often above and beyond what is needed.
2. Customer know how to cook the books. “Yes, that high powered motor will run at full load 24hrs a day 365days of the year”. Because if I know I get a discount on future expected revenue, I will overestimate my future usage. regardless if I actually do it. There is no follow up
3. These network upgrades are usually carried out before the customers expected commissioning date as supply is needed before they finish their subdivision. They’ve often only paid an application and initial connection charge due the reasons listed above…
..yet the entity has had to carry out the upgrades.
It is quite common for these projects to fail multiple times before finally proceeding to final build.
Sometimes the upgrades and expenses have already been realised to the entity. Sometimes these projects kick off again, sometimes they don’t. It is often years in between.
Grid operators would benefit greatly by integrating or partnering with operators of a fleet of portable flexible demand customers.
Customers that can mobilise within strategic parts of the network to soak up excess demand capacity that has been expensed to the network due to failed projects or over design.
Customers that can also turn off in the event that a significant network constraint exists. A faulty underground cable where we need to tie 2 feeders together but lack the network infrastructure to cater for the entire load of both feeders, we can ramp down our new flexible demand customers
Portable customers that can be installed at the new project site and create billable demand until projects are finished. They are then picked up and moved to the next location
Scalable demand customers that can soak up even the smallest excess capacity from as little as a kw right up to 10s of megawatts.
Such a customer sounds too good to be true. Surely such a customer doesn’t exist or it would be oversubscribed.
Such a customer does exist, they are called #bitcoin miners.
It involves a paradigm shift for grid operators. But the realisation when it does occur will be a total game changer for how grids operate.
If you can obtain an audience with your local member of government, grid operator, utility engineer or other significant decision maker who needs to hear this message I would be more than happy to get involved in the conversation.
DMs open.

Reading Hacks and Tips.
We’ve started a 26xbooks for 2024 reading book club. DM me for the telegram group link if you want to join.
Below are my reading hacks and tips I shared with the group.
Tip #1. Use devices.
There’s nothing more I like than a physical book but being a book Luddite can be a major barrier to increasing your reading.
Kindle has a synch feature that allows you to catch up on any kindle app on any device (provided your kindle has internet access)
I use this to take advantage of any delay or spare 5mins that presents itself on any given day.
Doctors appointment, read instead of Twitter.
Waiting in the car while wifey fetches the bread and milk? Read instead of doom scrolling Facebook reels.
You will read much more if it is easy to do so.
Tip #2. Practice.
Much like meditation or anything else worth doing. Actively practicing reading can be beneficial.
Set a dedicated time aside, I would recommend avoiding bed time though. The end of the day is the worst. You are tired, reading will fatigue your eyes and you will not be attentive.
Wake up 20-30mins earlier and read over your coffee before everyone starts their day.
Getting in the habit of practicing to read will ensure you not only increase your reading, but you will get much better and much more effective.
Effective reading is just as important for your own self-drive. If you are good at something you enjoy doing it.
Reading can work just the same.
Tip #3 - Avoid distractions.
Ever feel like you’ve read the same page 3 times? That’s because you aren’t really present.
Tying in from point 2. As you practice and get better at reading you will experience this less. But good practice means avoiding distractions.
Don’t keep your phone in the same room as your book.
As you read a hundred different thoughts get sparked as you draw connections between thoughts. It will remind you of a million things you should have, would have, could have done. Ignore them.
NEVER look at your phone, it’s a sure fire way of losing 20mins of reading time checking your Twitter notifications.
Do yourself a favour and remove the temptation, a phone in another room is an effort. A phone sitting next to you on the armchair is picked up before you even realise your doing it.
I am majorly guilty of this one.
Speed reading:::
Speed reading is a major skill. In my opinion there are tradeoffs with some of them, but there is an immense amount of value in some of these and they are worth exploring.
Speed reading tip #1.
Read the synopsis and read (I mean really read) the table of contents.
Reading the synopsis and the table of contents sets the tone for what you are about to learn. It allows your brain to start connecting the neural paths to past thought patterns and knowledge and can help with comprehension and retention.
Some even advocate for skipping chapters that you are already familiar with, though I don’t practice this myself. But this can be a great tip for someone studying at university level for instance or something new you want to learn but have a good understanding of the subject matter.
Speed reading tip 2.
Let your fingers do the walking.
Use your finger to move along the page to keep track of where you are.
Over the entire course of a whole book a substantial amount of time can be lost rereading the same line, especially with tired and lazy eyes.
Use your finger to underscore and keep track of where you are. Most speed readers use this technique.
Speed reading tip #3.
Reduce the margins.
A large amount of time can be wasted by actively reading every single word. Many speed readers allow the periphery of your vision to pick up the words at the margin.
A physical book is best to practice, find the rough average position of the first word and last word of each line, draw a margin down and while using your finger to trace don’t allow your vision to look beyond the margin. The periphery should pick it up.
As you practice then draw your margins 2 words in, and finally 3 (or even 4 if you are really good)
Again practice makes perfect here.
Speed reading tip #4
Turn off the inner monologue.
Try not to read in your head. Easier said than done and this is something I personally struggle with, especially when it comes to comprehension and retention. But you will only be able to read as quick as you can verbalise the words unless you can learn to switch it off.
I am terrible at this which leads me to the final and what I think is the most powerful reading hack.
Reading and speed reading hack #5
Outsource your inner monologue.
Your inner voice will slow you down immensely.
For me, I find it hard to switch it off while maintaining a high degree of comprehension and retention.
This is where we can really leverage technology.
I first discovered this while reading a book on market trading. I purchased the kindle version and at checkout noticed I could add the audible version for $3 more.
I listened to the audio book while I read it. BUT…you can speed up the narrator. You can increase the speed of the audiobook to multiple times. Doing this alone can make it hard to follow but when you listen to it quickly but READ it at THE SAME TIME 🤯🤯🤯
I read this 300 page book in about 2.5hrs with extremely high retention and in one sitting.
It was the first time I can recall reading a whole book in one solid session. I felt like Neo getting the king fu upgrade.
WARNING! This can be very addictive.
The trouble though with audio books is that they are narrated and I found that I was limited in the speed I could achieve dependent on the narrator and how articulate they were.
So, use a bot.
I use Voice Dream which is a paid app. It accepts any text and book file format (which you can find online for just about any book worth reading) import it into the app and you are off. The best part is that these robot voices are very articulate allowing you to push the speed beyond what you thought you could do.
Practice. Like anything, you need to practice this. Start slow. Push yourself just beyond comprehension and then dial it back. Do this for a few weeks and then increase it again, and again and before too long you will be listening at beyond 500 words per minute (I sit around 550-600 depending on the book ) and devour books.
But I find I absolutely must read it while I listen.
Reading hack #6
Listen to whitenoise.
I first discovered this hack while studying engineering with a newborn baby boy. He was a terrible sleeper and we read somewhere to put on whitenoise to help calm him.
Well it also calmed dad.
I was in my first year of a 7year studying slog while working full time..
But I noticed that I could really focus while listening to the white noise.
It was even more apparent when I put it on with headphones, and many years later came noise cancelling headphones.
Listening to white noise allows all outside distractions to disappear and for you to become fully present in the moment of reading and learning.
It’s something I still do to this day. Especially on planes or when I’m at work in the office.
I do this when I am not listening to the audio books, or reading for pleasure, or absorbing content that does not easily translate into audio like technical manuals, charts, data, engineering subject matter etc.
Hopefully some of you find these tips useful.

Somewhere around the 70s women were forced into the work force (I wonder what significant event occurred in the 70’s that could have contributed 🤔)
Also, coincidently there was a feminist movement to help drive a societal shift toward not only accepting this reality…
…but celebrating and glorifying it.
As a result, both parents were forced into employment over long hours.
It started with kids staying at home with mum until school started. Then at around 6 the kids went off to school and mum joined the workforce.
But an environment of declining interest rates and a real rate of inflation higher than what we were reported to experience meant mum needed to go back sooner.
So we saw preschool and kindergarten start to form “a very important part of our kids development”.
Coincidentally, it allowed mum to take some extra hours at an earlier age.
Then came daycare centres, massively subsidised by governments.
It now means mum can pump that baby out and be back at work as early as just a few short weeks after giving birth.
Not only is this socially acceptable, we have created a world where this is a necessity to put a roof over your head and food on the table.
This has resulted in children being raised by other people and they look toward their peers for their developmental and emotional needs.
Mum and dad go and flog themselves out for wages, by the time they get home they are tired and cranky, barely having enough energy left to give the children the love, attention and support they deserve and need.
The kids turn again towards their peers for this attention.
Our world is developing with youth who are completely detached from their parents.
Their emotional development is being shaped by their peers, forming behaviours and personalities that are formed trying to gain peer acceptance, rather than shaped through unconditional love..
..from their parents.
How can we grow into our authentic selves when we are trying to conform to acceptance from a peer group that are themselves underdeveloped and suffering from the same struggles?
EVERYTHING is downstream of money.
Where did I learn this incredible piece of the puzzle?

The Hidden Cost of Money by @sebbunney

The only thing I can argue against this logic is who in their right mind has $50k in a bank right now? 🤣😂

Incredibly humbling review my friend.
This is exactly what we were trying to achieve. How can we distill down 1000s of hours of research into something people could get a general gist of, before diving off into their own deep ends of understanding?
Thank you for taking the time to read it and for giving us this epic review.

Whether efforts are intentional or not is up for debate, but current monetary and fiscal policies are hollowing out the middle class creating an ever-growing divergence between the “haves” and the “have-nots”
Financial repression, holding interest rates below the rate of inflation, will ensure that over-levered middle class people will be wiped out.
Interest expenses will form a higher component of weekly budgets, while those will investment properties navigate rental moratoriums.
Even still, rental prices surge to beyond affordability for most wage earners.
Excess cash flows will disappear. Savings will erode in a last ditched effort to save the house or investment property.
Wages will lag behind the rate of inflation, eroding purchasing power and evaporating excess cash flows.
The passive-investment funds we have been educated to use will implode. Rotting away retirement savings.
The CBDC narratives build a false sense of security in the use of cash. People advocate for holding cash, thinking they are fighting the system, while their purchasing power erodes.
Eventually, people lean toward government for salvation. It will be the perfect opportunity to introduce the CBDC and global adoption will not only be accepted, it will be celebrated.
You will rely on the government stimulus to feed, clothe and shelter your family. The dependency will not be optional, but a necessity for survival.
Governmental controls will now easier as they control the populous through the monetary system. See China for examples. Not to say they will, but definitely that they could.
All this is true, unless of course, you stack #bitcoin.
Bitcoin truly is the only path I see forward for wage earners to protect themselves.
It is the ONLY asset outside the control of central planners that is accessible, usable and storable for every day people.
Bitcoin is hope, it’s not just a meme. It’s reality.

Tell me I’m crazy but I see a very high correlation between people who get bitcoin and those who have trained hard in their lives.
Whether it be academics, sports, music or the arts. People who have dedicated their time, effort, energy and focus on various endeavours in their lives seemingly understand the effort it takes to understand bitcoin. Perhaps it is a function of who we are as people.
On the other side, those people in my life who haven’t trained or applied themselves in their lives, those who simply exist without passions or focus find bitcoin hard to understand.
Tell me what your passion was? Does what I say ring true?
For me it was music. I’ve played guitar since I was 8.

Why is it that #bitcoin , as a deflationary currency will become ultimately distributive rather than hoarded?
It comes down to savings, purchasing power and time preference.
Yesterday, I spent about 4hours replacing and re-greasing the bearings on my boat trailer.
I’m not a mechanic, it’s not something I do every day, so it takes me longer than it should have.
I could have paid someone to do this now in far less time, it’s true.
But, one of my goals at the moment is to increase my stack. So I chose to save the sats and chose instead to swap my time instead and do it myself.
As my purchasing power increases over time, there will come a point where I value my time over my money.
I will gladly pay the next pleb some of my stack to change those bearings so that they too can choose time over their stack to build their own future.
In an inflationary environment, there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I will be changing my own bearings forever.
An inflationary currency has created a world where we are jack -of-all-trades but masters of none.
In an inflationary environment, there is no light at the end of the tunnel, I will be changing my own bearings forever.
An inflationary currency has created a world where we are jack -of-all-trades but masters of none.
A deflationary currency will create net new jobs as people have the option to choose if they replace their wheel bearings or pay someone else to do it.
As time preferences extend, saving in hard money allows you to make better choices around how to spend that saved time.
An inflationary currency does the opposite. It Incentives plebs to diy rather than paying professionals.
An inflationary currency means mediocrity rather than specialist skills.
A deflationary currency will allow people to pursue their passions and create a more beautiful world.
It will bring focus back to art and craftsmanship and pride in our work.
It will give people back their saved time to pursue perfection and focus on their specialty.
It will bring a focus back to the real world of what must be done by the skilled shape of hands, back to building things and fixing things and making things.
The service industry is at its end. ChatGPT and the like will make the service and information industry redundant.
This is the dawning of the new Renaissance. The beginning of a new period of quality and beauty.
Imagine a world where all these autistic dreamers are allowed to focus their energy on whatever they want.
Where people get to choose how they spend their time.
I’ve never been more excited about this future for my kids.
For now, I’ve got a mess in the garage I’ve got to clean up.

We have lived the last remaining years of provable reality. AI, deep fakes and photoshop will continue to distort and drive narratives.
That is why the advent of private/public key cryptography will be so important.

Diving into nuclear energy.
With each paragraph I am becoming more and more convinced it is the only viable solution for affordable, safe and reliable energy for the world.
And #bitcoin mining will be there to soak up the excess and provide reliable banking, remittance, exchange and payment rails for the world.
