I have 1 place left on the Bitcoin leaders' cohort for April 2026. Have talked to a few plebs, but their projects are a little early still

The group have active projects they are now looking to expand that have a significant impact on Bitcoin adoption

Reach out if that's you

There are the 7 core principles I used last year when engaging with media outlets last year who were still publishing environmental FUD about Bitcoin

Result: 4 retractions, 2 changed editorial policy. Numerous article amendments. Most did not write environmental FUD about Bitcoin again.

What 4 principles are critical counteracting FUD?

It's not just your logic (that's only 1 part of 1 of the 4 points) that makes you effective at counteracting Bitcoin FUD

Knowing what all 4 principles are (explained in this video) increases your odds of orangepilling people

Something different today.

If you haven't yet discovered the benefits of breathwork, I would say that you are missing something amazing in life! It's easy to take your breath for granted (I did) and think "I already know how to breath - what's the point?" This misses the point.

Yes, you know how to use your breath to survive. But learning the SKY breathing practice shows you how to breath to thrive!

There are now 100+ research studies on the benefits of SKY breathing. James Nestor's bestseller "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art" covered its myriad of benefits, and its something I've found to be a gamechanger.

Within 30 days of the practice, I found my anxiety and stress levels decreased a lot, though on the outside work was still just as high-pressure at the time.

Then I noticed I felt happier and more confident (not something I thought was a side effect of breathwork!)

Then, I saw improvements in my sleep and interpersonal relationships. Again, not something I thought the breath could help my achieve!

Between 2006-7 I was so encouraged by my own results, I decided to learn how to teach the process to others, so underwent 2 years of training, which involved travelling twice to India to the Art of Living HQ in Bangalore - one of the most profound experiences of my life.

Almost all of my coaching clients decide to do the SKY breathing course at some stage, and have reported similar benefits.

One client after our course earlier this month reported after the course "For the first time in a long time, I feel so happy and content that I've had no urge at all to scroll or distract myself."

I'm co-teaching a course from 20-22 March. 12.30pm-2.30pm each day EST.

We have a number of Bitcoiners who've already put up their hands to do it. If you'd like to join them or find out more, just comment below or send me a message. Like Bitcoin itself, Breathwork is permissionless, portable, increases self-sovereignty, ensures you don't waste energy, and it would be an honor to support your work in the world in this way.

That would make sense. This corresponds to the amount of hash power in the area impacted by the storm. It will rise back up once the storm passes
