I worked the proverbial 65hr weeks when my younger kids were in their toddler to teen years. I missed a lot. My youngest gets a LOT more of my time now. Having said that, even though I worked my ass off, packed my lunch daily, shared a shitty subaru with my wife, I don’t regret a minute of it.

Almost all of the “helpful” Federal policies I’ve encountered in my life end up with worse outcomes than before they existed.
Helping people in acute need? Im all for it.
Chronic need is quite different.
They don’t tell you “dont feed the bears” because they dont love bears, it’s because you don’t want them dependent on you.
Sovereignty is freedom.

Story time.
I was a late comer to bitcoin.
In 2019 I started a new job at a very stressful trading desk (fortune 500 brokerage).
In any event, my team leader was a bit of a rogue. I knew him from a previous job where he was my subordinate and I new he was a big goldbug. Interestingly enough, He had graduated to bitcoin. Id never heard of or ever bought any btc or any altcoins.
Over the course of the year, he convinced me to buy a decent chunk. My cost basis was near 59. I spent the next year listening to 1000s of hours of BTC podcasts, read Price if Tomorrow and thankfully learned about Saylor.
I rode losses down to 15,500.
—Heres the interesting part. I became so sure, so unbelievably certain that id be okay, that I sold ALL MY BITCOIN two days before the new year to harvest the tax loss.
I then proceeded to rebuy every dollar worth back over the following month in January on the way back up. I Lowered my cost basis to ~17k and religiously started buying dips from time to time.
—-I have never traded BTC before or after this event.
I considered it and I still consider Bitcoin to be the only “asymmetrical bet” Ive ever encountered.

I was zapping 121 sats at least 1000x last month.
—Can you imagine looking back when a sat=$1 and making fun of me like how much dumber I was than the guy that bought a pizza. 😂

I wish it was. The Rock plays Hercules. Its campy and slapstick. Nothing like that scene.
—though you can kinda see what i mean by the look on his face after he lives. Was supposed to be campy/funny.
That movie sucks.
