Possibly controversial take: Going from having one child to two children is easier than going from no child to one. Still super tiring but actually feel like I know what I’m doing the second time round!

Just started paternity leave for our second child.

The last few days have been filled with broken sleep, endless feeds, keeping a toddler entertained on fumes. Absolute chaos!

But in those rare quiet moments, I remind myself that this is what it’s all about.

Being present. Showing up for my kids and for things that matter.

Right, back to stopping a two-year-old from poking the baby in the eyes.​​​​​​​

The people that are the most ‘tolerant’ of society seem to be the most intolerant if you disagree with their political views.

I most likely won’t vote for Reform or any other party in the next election because I’m yet to see one politician that grasps basic economics.

But I do know that if your argument is “ha, you can’t afford to go to University!”, then you’re probably not as virtuous as you think you are.

Why is that people that clearly don’t understand Bitcoin have the strongest opinions against it? I never negatively talk down things I don’t understand but there are so many people that cannot say that when it comes to Bitcoin. If you don’t understand it, that’s fine. But using the same, tired and shitty arguments in a smug manner despite them all being debunked is infuriating.

When you become a dad, your definition of “success” completely changes.

If you’d have asked me 12 months ago, salary and titles mattered a lot to me.

Now all I really want is to give my family a good life.

My kids won’t care if I was a “thought leader”. But they will remember whether I was present and whether they felt loved.

That doesn’t mean my work ethic will drop. I still want to work hard and care deeply about what I do. If anything, that matters more now as I want to be a good role model.

It just means that my sense of self-worth isn’t tied to my career, pay bands or titles anymore.

P.S. I realise I look like I’m having way more fun than my son in this photo.

I don’t get why anyone would sell Bitcoin at this time. Why would you sell scarce money for money that banks can literally print to infinity? It makes no sense.
