If you have friends/family curious about Bitcoin but cannot connecting the dots back to their quality of life.

I strongly recommend you ask them to read or listen to “Fiat Food” by Matthew Lysiak @Matthewlysiak. You can find it on https://thesaifhouse.com.

This book hardened my resolve to join the peace revolution to embrace Bitcoin.

Meet people where they are. We all must eat real food not industrial sludge.

My 21yr old son: “Dad, we are almost out of fiat. We need to stack fiat for liquidity during emergencies.”

Me: “Fiat? Why fiat? We stack Bitcoin in this company. Fiat is garbage.”

Son: “Ya, until Bitcoin draws down 50% again and we have no liquidity because you keep buying the dips. And, I know you will never sell our Bitcoin.” 😂🤣😂

I took calls from RIAs yesterday.

Caller: “Joe, Bitcoin price is crashing what should I do?”

Me: “Turn off the TV. Take a deep breathe. Buy more Bitcoin during this temporary dip. Think of it like seeing a gas station with gas prices at $1.40/gal.”

Bitcoin at $70K is the proverbial canary in the coal mine—-with a megaphone shouting “danger”; fore shading a global financial crisis.

The coal mine represents the lack of liquidity in the market-place. They absolutely must print more fiat.

Learn Bitcoin. Buy Bitcoin. Seek freedom from the collectivists.

Right now I am so pissed off I am fuming. I never celebrated outwardly at $120k (barely felt like validation) but now I feel like my faith in this project is being rugged. Clearly, it’s my own probl...

If it helps you. I poured my life into Bitcoin in 2020.

When SBF/FTX shit the bed, I remember laying on an air mattress in the attic space above my office while my wife and kids slept in a small camper outside.

My mind went dark. I thought to myself, “…what have I done to myself and my family?”

I was rife with raw fear, shame, and guilt.

Then, I reminded myself to go back to first principles. The macroeconomic fundamentals had not changed.

Fiat is theft. All fiat eventually fails. They will never stop printing US dollars.

At that moment I re-committed to going “all-in”. My internal voice kept repeating, “this too shall pass”. It did.

Now, as a family, we are way better off than ever before. Keep perspective.

Clearly, it’s my own problem to manage but the emotions are real and have to be overcome. Truly the hardest professional exper...
