I hear people say it’s hard to buy and hold Bitcoin over the long run amidst all its price volatility and I get it.
Part of the reason why it’s so psychologically hard is if you’re making a decision every time you buy and every time you see it go down a ton, you’re making a decision whether to sell so to those points you need to do 3 things to take away all the emotional ups and downs.
1. Do the deep dive and develop your thesis as to why you’re buying Bitcoin.
2. Setup a DCA so it’s mechanical and you don’t have to think about every buy.
3. When you see Bitcoin price drop and you question your thesis, have a simple checklist to go by to see if anything changed.
✅ Bitcoin still has 21 million limit?
✅ Network still secure? (Hash rate)
✅ Demand still there? (ETFs, Treasury companies, etc)
✅ Governments still in debt and printing?
✅ Any big risks present now?
If everything checks out, it’s all good.
Keep stacking.
You need this kind of structure to keep your head straight through all the volatility and FUD.

This is one of many reasons we’ve decided to rent and not buy a house.
We have a rent controlled apartment and we take the money we would’ve spent on buying a house and maintaining it and paying all the repairs, insurance, property tax and we buy bitcoin instead.
And travel as well.
Ultimate peace of mind and freedom.

I love how people think $75,000 for 1 Bitcoin is expensive.
But when you say buy 1 house for $75,000 they will not think twice and buy it right away.
Deal of the century!
Because they see how home prices have risen from $75,000 in the 1950s to $1,000,000.
Bitcoin is a WAY better store of value than real estate.
No property tax, maintenance, or repair costs.
Way more liquid to sell when needed.
Can borrow against it super easily.
Can take it with you when the place you’re living in becomes politically hostile.
And people think Bitcoin is expensive at $75,000?
Deal of the century!

The day Dems win the midterms, Bitcoin pumps and STRC hits par.
Both parties spend a ton of money and will print, but it looks like BTC is sniffing out the Dems will print way more as they move toward socialism.
Makes sense through that lens.

There it is!
STRC reaches par since June 25th when it was around $74.
Can you smell what the bull run is cooking?
Congrats to Strategy and the team for doing what they needed to do to get STRC back to par!

I tried Stoicism but it wasn’t for me.
Too much focus on the intellectual trying to deal with the emotional aspect of myself.
It was a war I could never win.
Instead of trying to win the tug of war with your mind, simply become aware of what’s going on in your head…
And drop the rope.
That’s how you win.
The biggest problem with stoicism is trying to win the war inside your mind with your mind.
You’ll never win and never deal with the root cause.

Nothing better than having the time and freedom to hike on a Monday morning.
Retire early if you can!
Way better than spending money on a mansion or driving an expensive car.

I’ve been getting way too many text messages about the midterms.
Crazy how many times your numbers is shared to different organizations.

Harsh truth: If you have a job and you’ve inflated your lifestyle in the past couple years, you’re in a very dangerous spot.
Microsoft’s recent buyout offer to a whole chunk of its workforce is your wake up call.
If you’re dependent on your job to fund your lifestyle and don’t have much capital to sustain you if you lose your job, things can get bad real quick.
The window of opportunity to stack capital to live off its returns to help buffer against AI is closing fast.
Only a couple years left.
Don’t be embarrassed to downgrade your lifestyle to save and invest more in assets.

My wife and I are retiring early in our early 40s and not moving the goalposts played a big role in that.
We were tempted to move to a bigger place or get a better car but we stuck to our guns and just kept stacking.
It’s totally worth it.
Freedom is way better than a bigger house or more expensive car.

I just got a haircut and my barber raised the price from $30 to $33, a 10% increase.
I don’t mind paying more because she does a good job.
But the government says inflation is 3.7%.
Take any bill you regularly pay and look at the past 12 months.
I doubt you see inflation at 3.7%.
It’s probably way more.
Just one of many reasons to own assets to outpace real inflation, namely Bitcoin.
Your wages alone aren’t going to do it.

Saving your capital in Bitcoin can work in this kind of future Elon is talking about.
Super intelligence can bring about the production of tons of goods and services, and even a small amount of Bitcoin can buy a lot of them.
But scarce goods and services will still be valuable and even a small amount of Bitcoin can buy them too.

For Metaplanet, the preferred shares they issue via Superplanet MUST offer daily dividends as well.
That’s the baseline the market expects now.

The trap of financial freedom is it locks you into the:
“When the outside is this way, I’ll feel this way inside” trap.
And people feel they need to believe that to have the motivation to achieve it.
And yet people tell them it won’t feel great when they reach the peak.
But they won’t listen.
Because only direct experience can seal that realization right in.

This is why you live a simple life to keep your burn rate low, invest the savings into assets that grow, and then live off the returns of those assets.
You only have a small window of time to accumulate as much assets as you can.
Lower burn rate really helps with that.
I'm in my 40s. The most scared/disoriented people in my network are the ones that have the following resume => went to an Ivy League school, went into consulting for Bain or BCG or investment banking for a bulge bracket bank then MBA at Harvard/Stanford and then career progression in high income tech W2 or hedge funds/private equity.
A number of these individuals in the last 5 years have been unexpectedly let go in their early 40s with 2-3 kids in private school and a burn rate they socially struggle to walk away from (kids have close friends now, business connections at the private school their kids go to, living in a high cost location makes it easier to network, etc).
These are the people literally have only been told they are excellent their entire lives and now are in year 3-4 (no exaggeration) of trying to land a new job. Some are willing to "settle" for working for mid 6 figures (some even less) just to cover their burn rate with a young family.
AI probably makes this dynamic happen earlier in one's career going forward for some of these perfect resumes individuals. Good chart from @Jack_Raines in his book Young Money

Wake up call for Millennials and Gen Z:
You bitch about boomers buying houses for $100,000 when they were your age and those houses are now $1,000,000.
You have the same opportunity now to buy a digital house for $80,000 and there’s only ever going to be 21 million of them.
Plus you don’t have to pay for any repairs, maintenance, property tax, or insurance on it.
The opportunity of a lifetime staring right in front of your face.
Stop bitching and start stacking.

1. Take a look at the ever increasing US debt and the inevitable choice to print money to dilute and you’ll see the use case of Bitcoin.
2. Look at the incentives - he’s promoting TAO so he’s gotta dunk on Bitcoin.
3. Easiest thing to do is to chase shiny toys. Hardest thing to do is to just keep buying and holding Bitcoin.
A brutal year for Bitcoin is just getting started.
Give me three minutes to explain why you should dump it now.
Outflows from ETFs are signal and will continue.
We will test the 57k low again in the next 12 months.
Why?
Because there are far too many dynamic places to put your money that are creating MUCH more value.
Why put your resources into a dead network that offers nothing beyond a store of value?
What's the point of place the BTC be if Bitcoin's Ponzi-scheme nature has gone away!?!
The viral nature of bitcoin was it's power... if you didn't own you were MOCKED!
Now? Completely reasonable, heck, SMARTER, to ignore bitcoin and place other bets!
No one is trying to convince people to buy Bitcoin anymore... the memes and NFTs are gone.
No one is saying $ BTC can change the world, because it won't — and BECAUSE AI HAS!
Just sell and shift from Bitcoin to Super Intelligence because one provides little to no value, and the other provides unlimited upside for humanity.
This should be obvious to everyone right now.
Bitcoin will never break its all-time high again.

I love going to bookstores but one pet peeve I have is craning my neck sideways to read books shelved vertically.
Would love to visit a bookstore that curated the best books and only had books on shelves faced cover out vs spine shelved.

I don’t buy the idea that the universe is working in your favor.
It can be a helpful belief if you’ve been thinking negatively your whole life but then it becomes double edged.
When things don’t go the way you want, you can rationalize all you want that it somehow benefits, but there will still be doubt and conflict within you that you wrestle with.
I think the universe can work in your favor with a slight nuance.
It’s not that it’s actively doing it for you.
It’s flowing in a certain way and it’s your job to align with that flow and if you do, things will turn out in your favor.
How do you align?
By letting go of all the Samskaras blocking you.
