I used to be super wired at night (literally 10pm was peak work/idea hour) and it took me like 4 hours to actually feel "awake" in the morning. My wife put me onto light health as something I was completely neglecting, and the problem is gone... this is all i did.

We have absolutely no idea what kind of chaos is going to ensue if BIP-110 gets pushed through without consensus. If the market sides against the restrictive rules, we are left with a smaller, weaker monetary Bitcoin while the "spam-enabling" version wins all the institutional money. I pulled this clip from my recent chat with Luke de Wolf because it highlights the true stakes of this governance debate. Check it out here or catch the whole of discussion below.

The traditional four-year Bitcoin cycle is probably dead. I know that sounds crazy, but the current price drop is hiding a much bigger truth about the market. We have 10.5 million coins in the red right now, heavily mimicking every cycle bottom since 2011. Patient self-custody is the only actual defense you have against exponential fiat debt, and getting shaken out now is exactly what the system wants. I explain the math and the data in this Guy's Take episode.

Working a local Silk Road case is a pretty intense way to find Bitcoin. That's how Seed got his start before eventually building the SeedSigner project. He came on to share his story, but we quickly moved into the ugly side of self-custody. What actually happens to your coins when things get messy in the real world, not digitally? His answer is absolutely worth your time. Listen to the full episode below.

People are losing their minds over Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire, with many calling it a “failure of capitalism”. So I ran the math. Comparing his wealth to a great businessman of the past. And when you adjust for the real money supply of their eras, the narrative isn’t quite what it seems… Are we really witnessing a historic wealth imparable due to late-stage capitalism, or simply measuring success with a broken tape measure? Listen to my full breakdown.

Imagine scrapping everything and spending three years rebuilding an operating system from scratch because the old way of doing things is completely broken. That is exactly what the team at Start9 just did. In this Chat, Start9's CEO Matt Hill walked me through the absolute beast that is StartOS 0.4.0 and how their latest product - StartWRT - made networking feel like putting together Ikea furniture. We also went SUPER deep on privacy tech and navigating the world as AI takes over everything (and we mean literally EVERYTHING!). I know I always say this, but you really DO NOT want to miss this one!

Everyone thinks the U.S. dollar is about to hyperinflate tomorrow. But they are completely missing the mechanics of how currency collapse actually works. It requires a giant pressure valve first, and you might be surprised to learn what has to happen to Bitcoin before that pressure finally escapes. I pulled the curtain back on this with Walker in this chat which originally aired on RoxomTV. Now on Bitcoin Audible. 🔥

This is the #1 way that I use to stack tons of extra, easy bitcoin. And I'm not even *buying* it. ~$8,000 worth in 1.5 years... not a joke. People really dismiss this combo, but it makes a huge difference if you use them consistently. 👇 Shout to FOLD BITCOIN The Bitcoin Company & Strike for the setup that makes this work. 🫡

"I'll never understand why people are so desperate to believe him… He keeps saying or doing things that undermine what he said before, yet they refuse to let it register. When this saga ends, the real question will be: why are people still determined to believe him?" ~ Arthur Van Pelt

"I don’t know anyone in Bitcoin Core who wants Bitcoin as anything other than money… but that doesn’t mean others won’t use it differently. You can say ‘I only want it used for money,’ or ask: how are they doing it, what can we do, and is it worth fighting?… Being upset without a plan solves nothing." ~Murch
