After having a little money for a few years and dabbling in some of the finer things I can tell you that nothing beats an ordinary life.

- Getting a slice of pizza and seeing a movie with your wife.

- Hitting the bar and having drinks and conversation with your friends.

- Hanging out at the park throwing a frisbee around.

- Taking the kids for ice cream on a hot summer day.

- An economy plane ticket to go visit family or an old friend.

- A reliable car that takes you where you need to go.

- A great blanket to snuggle up in on a cold winter day.

If you have these things already, trust me… you are wealthier than you know.

Drinking $1,000 wine and eating caviar with famous people won’t make you any happier. In fact it may have the opposite effect.

As the bitcoin price rises you should definitely dabble in fancy shit if you feel compelled, but once you get a peak behind the curtain you’ll find out pretty quick it’s hollow and meaningless compared to the things that really matter.

Truth


💯 - Hiking in the woods with your dog


Sitting at home with your wife and kids. But being able to spend 10k on wine and caviar if you wanted to is a nice feeling


It is. Having optionality and security is a nice feeling.


I am thankful for people like you, thoughts like this.


The simple things were always the best. Over the years as my annual income increased significantly I didn’t change anything.


Nothing beats just seeing your circle winning.


💯 on 🎯


The best


💯. The grass isn’t always greener.


I've met several miserable rich people. Money doesn't solve everything.


Money just buys the time to do more of all these things. To get back time wasted in a cube.


I would like to buy some forest land and build a cabin 🥲


The simple life definitely feels less stressful and more meaningful.


Buying back your time is worth every Satoshi


As a consumate troll I can assure you, nothing would bring me greater pleasure than eating caviar with famous people.  Just so I can have a fun story about fucking with famous people and pissing them off to tell my real friends later.


So true. Peace and joy are the priceless things no money can buy. Feed your soul.


Man speaks the truth.


Business class so much more comfortable but never a good conversation to pass the time


First class in the bull market, coach in the bear market lol

Not to mention the bizarre fact that once you have a big house, multiple cars, fancy appliances and other ‘toys’, it’s a full time job maintaining it all!
I once worked for a very wealthy family,  and this part blew me away, had never considered it before.
Even the landscape maintenance needed a team and cost a fortune.
People think that once they are “rich” they can pay people to take care of all their shit and it will be easy, but there are so many decisions that need made all the time so in my case the couple was still involved for hours every day… and they definitely weren’t living their best life :/
There is always more to do, build, acquire etc.

I love the saying “Enough is a feast” 🧡


Agree. Except for Dry-aged Wagyu steak. Those are totally worth it.


Great post!


It really is worth it.


I'm gonna finally buy a blockclock like a king


I know— I’m asking for one for my birthday. 😄

Lol I'm just legit trying to avoid working until my back gives in, anything else is a bonus


Wealth often gets confused with only money.


Wow rich much?


If you’re very tall over 6.2”, a business class ticket is always worth it; given the absolute torture sitting with no leg room.


TLDR - STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🤝


What gave it away my dog or my clock ?


I’m not going to zap you for this because you have more sats than me but I’ll give you a fat heart


Why not both?


Family + touching grass = priceless.


Getting a bit of money made me realize how important ambition is

Bench under the tree on a sunny day is the peak wealth.

Remember back in Aug - Sept #BTC at $25ks how it felt like it couldn’t go up but down only right?

Chosing a simple life and having to live a simple life is a big difference, though :)


few. while a 10usd wine may be twice better than 5 usd win. a 1000usd wine is maybe 10% better than a 100usd wine.


100%. High end golf with your buddies is pretty nice though.


Dammit I liked a note from a fake Gigi


IDK, working on trucks and cars gets fucking expensive bro. Guns, tools, equipment, machinery, land to do it all on. Hearing my voice echo in the hallway of my home would be pretty cool too.

I might be fucked but it would be nice to have money once. I'd like to try it, learn being rich sucks, rather than listen to rich people tell me all that glitters isn't gold.


The best thing I ever purchased was my time. It takes a lot of money to afford living with only the essentials.

An overabundance of things are a common coping strategy for when doesn't believe in their own future.


Forget about the Lamborghini, focus on the Ninja Creami


You should definitely get rich. Getting rich is important. Just make sure you spend the money on the right things.


If you stack possessions rather than sats, you become possessed.


Finer things that I look forward to are like upgrading my dishwasher when it finally breaks 🥹


The key to happiness is realizing you don't need much to be happy.

When #BTC was at $25k in August and September of last year, you recall how it seemed like it could only go down, not up. right?

It's just materialism in a different price range 🤷🏻♂


Stack sats and memories/experiences, not shitcoins and material garbage.


100%. Almost ALL of the "elegant life" is really about chasing status, and people constantly confuse status for happiness. It is not and will not make you happy. To the contrary it will make you feel empty and all you will want is to chase higher status.

the real things in life are far simpler, and having a solid grounding, a family, doing what you love, and securing your life against the storms of the world will give you more happiness and fulfillment than anything else I know of.

Chasing clout is not only shallow, but all the people who spend their lives chasing it are shallow too. Don't spend your life with them, and don't try to be them.

I've been in and out of bitcoin since 2013. Friend and I sold nearly a whole coin for $100 back then, and earned it from mining on an old laptop and dirt cheap some asics. Good times.


Great post 👍


Everything you say, except the economy ticket on an airplane. I’d go first class always if I could afford it.


FACTS!!! I vividly recall being wooed by an old money wealthy young man as a young woman. He was nice enough & I quickly learned that I couldn’t ever be bought. His family made me quickly run away. Certainly, that was their plan. 😅 Obviously 🙄 , this isn’t the same for every family.

I’ve met some very kind people who I later learned were well off. Money is an odd thing. I’ve been what society would call rich & I grew up in poverty. For some, it makes others behave differently. It certainly made me more thankful for whatever “success” I had as it’s primarily luck.

Money is a tool like anything else. I’ve found myself being biased against someone I thought had too much money. Admittedly, that was an immature decision. I’ll admit that now. We all have our biases & constant learning is needed to make a life. 😊💜🙏


Nice 😏


It’s true.  Modern society is far too focused on things like luxury and materialism when the best measure of true wealth is simply freedom to spend your time however you choose.  Once you can afford the trappings of wealth you quickly realize how overrated most of it is.


Embracing the seemingly simple things is a super power


normal is good, ordinary life is a privilege


LFG 🤙


Love insights from bitcoiners deep down the rabbit hole

This. Also, bitcoin is a time chain because there is a reason that wealth is measured in free time.


If you're 6'4" an economy plane ticket is hell on earth.


Yeah, but imagine having a $100,000 dog. 🐩☺


When you're not sacrificing your authentic self by going down the fiat mines every day, you become more satisfied with the simple things.

I'm convinced that the obsession with consumerism is driven by the fiat slavery.

I'm looking forward to seeing more Bitcoiners freeing themselves to allocate their time as their preferences dictate. I'm seeing this shift starting to happen right now. I'm not seeing caviar, coke & lambos yet.


I am only 6'3" and it is brutal for me, but also me.

Preach. Very well said. My happiness increased the more money I made but plateaued at a certain point. Now the things that make me truly happy are not my success, but my child, my dogs, home cooked food, my garden.

The more wealth I have, the more things I feel free from, because I choose not to have them. Possessions are responsibilities that take our time, money, and attention.


could not agree more. sometimes simple thing can make happy


Yeah, a little different on the yacht but I ain’t gonna lie I miss kayakin.


Same. I've actually been downsizing and simplifying, as I've gotten wealthier.


I finally have enough money to buy some of the stuff I want, and I play cards with my family, go hiking, hang out at church, or shitpost on Nostr, instead.

Twas ever thus. We are re-founding commonsense. Work hard, play hard and love much. Spend less than you earn(duh). Charity begins at home 🏡.


A kiss from the wife, a hug from the kids, a walk with the dogs, a beer with your friends. True wealth

And now it's live.

140-character limit. With a pretty strict moderation, so spam should be basically non-existent.

It's also sucking short notes from other relays, so it's global should be pretty useful.

I think this ethos is one of the many reasons why we have a shot at a better future if there is a wealth transfer due to bitcoin. The folks (certainly not all) who are in this for ideals, positive change in the world, more honest systems will be able to apply more pressure in society. These changes may have a chance to establish a new tone, reveal better priorities, and remove some power from the worst elements of the control society.
