Thinking back on 2025

Probably one of the worst years I've had

Scratch that

It was, by far, the worst year of my life

*Covid was bad but it ended up being a blessing in disguise

However, this year gave me the opportunity to practice skills that will serve me well for the rest of my time here on earth - stoicism, gratitude, and discipline

I've also been thinking about how lucky I am to do what I do every day

I'm not sure how many other Bitcoin channels are 100% value for value - you could probably count them on one hand

And it's pretty fuckin cool that I'm in that company

I still have some adsense money from YouTube but it barely covers my internet bill each month. Fuck YouTube

I believe integrity is the greatest asset one can hold in life - far better than Bitcoin

And taking the V4V route allows me to speak the truth I believe in without any outside influence

Side note: I will be doing a V4V promotional segment every morning on show featuring Bitcoin/Nostr businesses starting next week!

This is a win-win-win in my eyes. Let me explain:

WIN 1 - the Bitcoin/Nostr businesses that can promote their product or service without an upfront payment (or any payment at all)
*it will be 100% success-based

WIN 2 - the community can discover new products and services being made in a low time preference world
In addition, they will be able to grow their own network and move further away from the fiat banking system

WIN 3 - I'm able to maintain my own voice without reliance on sponsors

Win-win-win is best case Ontario

Anyways, the reason for this post.
