Absolutely I do. As an investor, if you don't have any idea when you can get liquidity on something, or at what level you take a profit, then you're just a gambler.
Now, as I've learnt more and more, I don't really see Bitcoin as an investment, but just a savings technology, and the best money ever accessible to man
But the investment lens I've honed over time is applicable to all area's of life. Health, wealth, etc. So I like to use it
Many think I am bearish, but in 2022 I set a August 2024 150k aud price target. We're right on track!

1000 sats
Love this kind of note. Content creation with Nostr, the ability to zap, and therefore revenue generation, is still in its infancy.
There are going to be so many novel ways of scaloing this type of thing
I already see people saying "all zaps for November donated to X" eg, ie a charitable avenue
Why wouldn't a brand team up with someone like yourself? I think they will
They key: I found this post in "most zapped 24 hours", ie people will game trying to get into those categories
Love it
Keep it up!
Ps - no need to return sats

That my friend, for the short-term traders, is the golden question
My feel: I don't care, as I am long, and not anywhere near a price or timeline HODL target
My instinct: this week is going to absolutely rip

2024-11-10 09:19:21

I looked back at my investment notes, and in July, October, and December of 2022, I made our major re-allocation into Bitcoin when the price was circa 30k aud per Bitcoin
Since then I've had to be:
- patient
- humble
- rational
- focused
- spiritual
Which can be summarised in the classic laser eyes to 100k meme... The profile pic for which I seem to have lost along the way
Quite something to watch play out in real time

It's amusing to see how people react when they lose
Any game frankly
But in this case an election
- "We must fight the diss-information"
- "We must censor speech more"
- "Sharing information online is the problem"
Sure, the playing field was the problem...
Good reminder: treat others as you would like to be treated
Plus: remember to approach every policy with a pinch of salt, and imagine, what would it be like if your team lost, and the other guy had the powers you claim to so badly need

Interesting observation, I hadn't tracked that engagement metric
Given the UX of Nostr as it is, plus the sunk cost fallacy of incumbents, I am not all that surprised it's a slow burn
The key is that it exists
And that it's slowly but surely getting more powerful
That's something I can really get behind
A gradual approach to capital creation

2024-11-04 00:13:39

Seeing @npub1rxy…hnp8 admit to being shadow banned on YT makes me so frustrated
Years of hard work
To then get messed around by the very platform that you put all that energy into
Fingers crossed it gets resolved
BUT
It's also an amazing advert for the benefits of Nostr
Why are there digital gatekeepers? People playing god with what can and cannot be said...
This is a very real problem
With Nostr it might well be solved
Whilst as a capitalist it makes we want to double down on Nostr
YT is a miss-allocation
Indeed X, IG, TikTok et al
They're all a miss-allocation of capital once their guardians decide you're no longer fit for purpose
Nostr enables a superior form of digital property right, and for that reason, it's an incredible new tool for the individual innovator
Very excited to see what happens when talented men just like @npub1rxy…hnp8 no longer build on quicksand...

- to be a father

WANT TO BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR TIME?
No seriously...
Do you?
I know how you can.
Read on...
Just en route home after an amazing 48 hours in Sydney at Cheatcode. Thank you to @npub14mc…frlx and @npub16le…ffxj for having me along as MC. Not only did I get to meet in person some characters from the "Bitcoin Industry" that I'd followed for a long time, which was amazing, but I also got to meet up with people I am growing closer with over time, local talent to Australia, people who've really started to reap the rewards of this beautiful experience that is Bitcoin, people I am proud to call friends.
So what's the story Jake? I hear you asking. Well fair call. It's pretty simple really: last night, over a beer with conference attendee's, it really hit home; WE'RE IN CONTROL OF OUR TIME. One friend had just quit a long-term fiat job, one was planning a 7 month road trip with their family, one has been "semi-retired" for 4 years, one hadn't even considered other employers for 7 years... And another was really homing in on their health with a huge volume of daily steps.
You know who you are as you read this!
And that's not to name them all. This is unique to Bitcoin. At least, in my experience, I don't know of a single cohort of men between 30 and 45, who are able to reclaim their time like this. Yes there are some outlier founders with exits. Yes there are some early retired traders. Yes there are those who chose a frugal life. But none of them have the confidence on the future these men have.
It's epic. It's inspiring. It's infectious.
Then what really gets me excited is what they might go on to create. They are making space in their lives. With new space comes new ideas. With new ideas comes new products, services, businesses, investments, art, music, hospitality, you name it. But I think the key is that they don't HAVE to go on and do those things. What they create will come from a place of desire not need.
Could this be a snapshot into the future? I think so yes. An increased focus on strong relationships, family, personal health, responsibility, accountability, and the overall message of this note "PEOPLE ARE RE-VALUING THEIR TIME". No longer is a fiat employment contract the only way to survive. There is another, self-sovereign, empowering, purposeful approach to personal financing, and therefore life.
This is what Bitcoin does. This is the dream of the Austrian School of Economics come to the digital renaissance, sound money, with proven low time preference thinking for all to see. These people are happy. They're free. They will explore. Try. Test. Fail. Learn. Move on. Balanced, based, brave. What a thing to witness.
In short: BUY SOME BITCOIN. If you already have some, buy some more. If you own assets that are not Bitcoin, ask yourself "why do I own what I own?" Does the opportunity cost of not owning Bitcoin make sense? If you have a business, how can you incorporate Bitcoin into it? Can you DCA more disposable income. Whatever it takes. The more you can accumulate, plus enough time, anyone can have this, ANYONE CAN RECLAIM THEIR TIME...
Sending good vibes

Bitcoin is for everyone (as you know), so as long as the ability to remain outside the tradfi system is there, then it doesn't really matter how some of the network gets used
Can he change consensus? No... Rules but no rulers etc
Point being, Anarchist Cypherpunks can remain just that. They will never be regulated

Today I learnt about the importance of self-image
If we don't have a defined vision on who we are, then we will never become that person
Once you reach the vision, such that what was once a dream, is now everyday life, lived with ease, and in alignment
It's time to go back to the drawing board
Revamp that image, your vision of who you want to be
And go again
All under-pinned by our ethics

Opening your Nostr to find a comment on a note you posted from @npub180c…h6w6 was not what I expected today
What a legend
Then I though, "why not donate to someone that has worked on something that's truly going to move the needle for so many"

Should it though? I don't think it's correct
