How to create good goals for achieving a life of funded contempt where money and meaning are in balance 👇
--------------------------------
Connection

Humans are social creatures who have a deep sense and desire of belonging. We are all born into a tribe and through our own life experiences discover and build our individual identities

This is our community – Who is in your village?
________________________________
Control

Humans have been given the gift of free will, individual agency, and autonomy. It is in our nature to want freedom and to seek the opportunity to tell the story we want to tell.

These are our objectives – What do you want to achieve?
-----------------------------------
Competence

We humans are technological beings. There’s no idea out there that your mind cannot comprehend given the time and the effort. We seek mastery over something that is important to us. Fulfillment is finding your unique strengths in what you love to do and using those to help others

These are our values – What are you great at?
-------------------------------------
Context

In addition to being technological beings, humans are also spiritual beings and throughout our history we have sought a greater connection with our creator. People who live for and believe in something beyond themselves have more meaningful lives.

This is our purpose – What moral framework do you live by?

A financial plan is only as good as the goals it is trying to achieve.

Superficial and misguided targets can be detrimental to a plans success

Take the time. Think deeply. Ask the hard questions.

New demand for treasuries = more money printing

We need multiple American ASIC manufacturers desperately 🇺🇸

Chinese ASIC manufacturers currently have well over 50% market share

Great step in the right direction. I hope they can be competitive and make an impact in the #bitcoin mining industry

Grassroots movements are driven by the collective efforts of ordinary, often brilliant people. These movements start at some sort of community or local level and grow organically.

This is the spirit of bitcoin.

Persistent inflation underscores the limitations and often the failure of central planning.

Policies aimed at controlling economic variables through monetary manipulation have repeatedly led to economic distortions, boom-bust business cycles, and unintended consequences

#bitcoin is by far and away the most advanced and decentralized technology that humans have ever invented

Because Bitcoin is actually decentralized, participants cannot be deprived of the rights it provides them and are incentivized to keep it decentralized.

Well I guarantee it wasn't because of socialism and unreliable energy
