Ok now that I'm not sleepy, my name is Jay and my handle is WiseHODL.

I'm a software engineer for work, and I used to be a control systems engineer for power plants. At my old job, I spent a lot of time hacking a certain proprietary, legacy control system to make my regular job a bit easier. I came up with a lot of ideas for things we could develop to make things bit less hellish. But I didn't have the time, so after a big project I was working on finished, I felt I had peaked as a controls engineer and quit to try and write code for a living.

But what do you know, all that hacking paid off because another team at the company still wanted me to develop the things I wanted to make, but never had time to do. So for the past few years I've been working as a contractor for my old employer building the applications I would have wanted when I was there. 

I'm a huge bitcoiner, and I first bought by FOMOing in during the 2019 pump. I immediately took a huge loss and traded my cost basis down about 20%. Then it crashed even more but I kept my hands off. I spent that time trading to learn why I shouldn't try and trade and just hold instead. The bull run in 2020-21 was a big reason why I quit my job because I suddenly had the savings to do it. Holding Bitcoin has changed the way I view everything because of the lowered time preference. I take my time about everything now, and it's nice. 

Besides hodling Bitcoin, I practice American Kempo Karate, I study and live the Bhagavad Gita, I like to cook, work out, game, read, learn, do tarot readings etc. I used to have severe depression out of college, but after a lot of self reflection and work on myself, I pulled out of it. I dislike drama and gossip, and I prefer to be alone a lot of the time. Nostr turned me into an emoji maxi 🙏💪🫂🫡🤙👌😁🧡

I could go on and on about myself, but I feel like I've written enough, lol.

Anyway, it's nice to introduce myself, Sleepy and everyone else 🫂
