GM
🤡 Sent growth proposals to government:
Less taxation
Less bureaucracy
More freedom
Bitcoin strategy
Well one can hope, but the post-EU future looks extremely promising. New generations have all the tools to take over, and balls too.
From peak 🤡 to unrelenting productivity & freedom boom

Is value investing secretly betting on society's decay?
Chatgpt list: "It's great to hear that you're interested in supporting companies and investments that contribute positively to society. Focusing on businesses that prioritize social good can align your financial goals with your values."

I would love to own my own house, but in Finland, it makes zero sense - stagnation and more property taxes no thx.
Here in Finland, I desperately try to poke my friends and family to think just a little bit or grow some balls; all I get is.
"It is what it is"
Anyways GM have a great week _o/

I'm trying to write about an "immune portfolio." Why do I invest? To protect myself from governments and their idiotic policies. I want to be immune to this shit.
I'm just a small little shrimp (so yes, no LLC, offshore banking, or purchasing golden visas is not an option). So what can shrimps do? In EU.
Key Principles:
Go beyond traditional assets -> Well Bitcoin.
Geographic Diversification -> Should we be looking at opening bank accounts abroad? But let's be real, it's getting harder to move money in and out of the EU.... So, just have different "Internet bank" debit cards, just in case?
Self-Reliance and Skills -> Can you do basic work, like an electrician? There's always a demand for good electricians. And what about building a network of like-minded individuals or even joining one?
Any other asset classes or strategies you'd suggest?
Tired of being a digital zombie? My plan:
Digital Detox: Phone a tool, not a trap.
Structured Online Time: 5min at 9am and 14pm?
Embrace Nature and Human Connections: Go out!
Consume Quality Content: Books!
Personal Growth and Planning: Intelligence from 2/10 to 4/10.
Mindful Media Consumption: Block 95% of the internet.
Daily Practices: Journal and meditation.

Here in Finland, employees contribute 7-9% of their salary to "pension funds" and employers contribute 17-18%. That's 25% of the salary into this disastrous ponzi scheme. Everyone knows they are royally screwed, yet they do nothing. The government just sneakily raises the retirement age by 3 months here and there...
"It’s hard to wrap my mind around the fact that the stock market is almost at an all-time high, and speculation on crypto is getting out of hand. All this after the most aggressive rate hikes? Should the longer rates be higher if we enter an exponential growth era?"

Patience:
At our core, we're addicts, craving both exhilaration and pain. This insatiable urge to escape—what's driving it? When do we decide we have enough? A million isn't sufficient anymore. So, what about 10 million? 100 million? A billion? It's an unending cycle of wanting more. The system's design parallels an EA SPORTS game, brilliantly scripted to trigger dopamine rushes and torment. The brightest minds are ensnared in this chase for wealth and material accomplishments. Yet, beneath it all, our collective sentiment resonates with a foreboding sense of doom. There's an undeniable yearning for cataclysmic events, and an impatience for them to unfold swiftly.
As I head into the weekend, I want to remind myself to approach it with clarity and purpose.
- Become immune to policymaker’s stupidity.
- Spend more time with family.
- Become a better human being.
Just have a great weekend everyone! _o/

Worrying developments in Finland and the Baltic States:
It is at the point where we celebrate:
- Seizing of private assets.
- Banning vehicles and personal items.
- Freeze bank accounts if any business with Russians.
- Freeze bank accounts if transacting any money to Russia.
- Freeze bank accounts if any connections to Russia.
Yeah, fuck Russia, but whose assets are next in line? How do these sanctions help anyone? Let's go to the cage with monkeys to throw poo at each other? Who wins? People will certainly lose.
Reminds me of COVID craziness, where idiots ponder whether they should ban padel? Definitely, Tennis and gym will be forbidden. Are we in peak idiocy?
