Republicans are the party of fear mongering.

Democrats are the party of deceit.

Efficiency ⚖️ Resiliency

I work in a local government. What I see and have opinions on, from both my general political outlook (fiscally conservative, libertarian) and also from my internal role, is sometimes at odds.

My municipality is fiscally responsible. When adjusted for inflation, the city’s budget is down about 10% over 20 years, while demand for our services (fire, ambulance, police, recreation, streets) are all up significantly.

Yet, we live on the dole from the federal government. Waiting for grants for much needed infrastructure that never comes.

I’m more convinced every day that government, at local level, where people directly receive daily services - is a net positive for society.

And federal level government is bloated, spread thin, and politically unable to be fiscally responsible.

Stack & Chill or Run the Fool’s Errand

Bitcoin is the easiest investment to make, once you understand it, if you have a long term timeframe.

Unless you’re bullish on governments fiscally responsibility, Bitcoin will continue to fare well over decades.

To be successful though, refrain from thinking short term. “Looks like it’s going down, I’ll sell and rebuy lower” is a fool’s errand. You may get lucky but at what risk and what cost. You risk your stack. You cost yourself mental capacity and anxiety.

Much more productive to stack, DCA, workout, read, spend time with loved ones. That’s real wealth. And that is what you get when you keep your focus on the long term.
