Your flex isn't a flex.
No one cares about your car.
Or your bigwig job title.
Or your watch.
I was just in a room full of c suite execs from fortune 500 companies.
People that have reached the pinnacle of traditional success.
But they aren't in control of their time.
Most of them completely missed their children growing up.
Many of them are unhealthy.
And few of them know how to enjoy life, because they have spent their lives focused on the next rung of the corporate ladder.
Conditioning themselves to live for "someday" that will never arrive.
In their defense, when they started their careers decades ago, it was a lot harder to achieve a high quality of life outside of the big corporate setting.
But now the status symbols they aimed at (the title, the big house, etc.) have lost value.
The new status symbols are:
- Control over your time
- Control over where you work
- Freedom to watch your children grow up
- Ability for your spouse to stay home
- Ability to travel whenever you want
- A fit body and a healthy mind
Just like the old status symbols, nobody really cares whether you achieve these things.
But your family will. And that's what matter most.
So how to get these things?
We live in an age of incredible opportunity.
The opportunities for individuals and small teams to build wealth via business have never been greater.
You no longer need to slave away in an office for decades to bank $10+ million.
Traditional media used to monopolize the power to influence; today that power has been decentralized by platforms like X.
Similarly, corporate influence has lost ground to individual influence.
Authentic individuals are the brands that people now trust.
And people will always prefer to buy from brands they trust.
This is an opportunity for those who recognize it and act upon it. That alone should make you optimistic.
But what if you don't want to start a business?
You can still get there by choosing to save in #Bitcoin
Families that have adopted a Bitcoin standard for their savings have seen dramatic increases in living standards compared to people who save in assets like the S&P500.
For every Lambo-flaunting crypto scammer, there are probably 1,000+ families spending more time together because of Bitcoin.
And at the end of the day, that's the only status symbol that really has any substance.

Stacking finite #Bitcoin when everyone else still believes in infinite fiat money is such a cheat code.
It's like wading ashore in a new land and convincing the native folk to give you all their gold in exchange for seashells.
They don't realize the island just over the horizon is littered with shells.
And they have no clue why they use shells as money.
It's just what they've always done.
They don't consider that gold may be more valuable in the long run.
So they give it up gladly.
If you're selling your Bitcoin for fiat today, your progeny are going to look at you like we look at those seashell-loving natives.
Except worse because the seashells were actually scarce compared to fiat 😂

hutang adalah nafas hidup uang fiat, darah untuk bankir dan urat nadi bank sentral. tanpa hutang uang fiat akan mati. karena lewat hutanglah, bankir dan bank sentral dapat mencetak / menciptakan / menambah sirkulasi uang fiat dalam ekonomi dan mencuri waktu dan energi dari rakyat seperti anda dan saya.
masyrakat akan trus didorong untuk berhutang, untuk menambah pinjaman, untuk menambah kartu kredit, untuk meningkatkan konsumsi dan belanja, makin dijejali dengan iklan iklan dan gaya hidup untuk makin boros. semua demi jargon "pertumbuhan ekonomi" dan gdp.
menabung adalah kebodohan. karena disaat anda bersusah payah menabung uang fiat, mereka dengan mudahnya dapat mencetak uang fiat lewat hutang dan pinjaman pinjaman. semakin banyak orang / negara berhutang, semakin banyak dan leluasa mereka mencetak uang. uang tanpa limit. tanpa batas. akibatnya, uang tabungan anda makin merosot valuenya waktu demi waktu..
bersyukur satoshi menciptakan bitcoin pada 2008, tepat satu bulan setelah krisis finansial yang menumbangkan lehman bro dan mengguncang ekonomi dunia, bitcoin whitepaper lahir.
kelahiran bitcoin dan "kematian" satoshi, adalah anugerah yang indah dari "surga". karena dengan bitcoin "kemerdekaan" finansial menjadi keniscayaan. semua orang kini memiliki sarana, untuk mereka dapat merdeka dari uang yang dikontrol oleh bank sentral. untuk melawan dan resistan terhadap para kleptokrat pencuri tenaga dan waktu.
RESIST! LAWAN!
