WANT TO BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR TIME?

No seriously...

Do you?

I know how you can.

Read on...

Just en route home after an amazing 48 hours in Sydney at Cheatcode. Thank you to petermccormack (npub14mc…frlx) and dannyknowles (npub16le…ffxj) for having me along as MC. Not only did I get to meet in person some characters from the "Bitcoin Industry" that I'd followed for a long time, which was amazing, but I also got to meet up with people I am growing closer with over time, local talent to Australia, people who've really started to reap the rewards of this beautiful experience that is Bitcoin, people I am proud to call friends.

So what's the story Jake? I hear you asking. Well fair call. It's pretty simple really: last night, over a beer with conference attendee's, it really hit home; WE'RE IN CONTROL OF OUR TIME. One friend had just quit a long-term fiat job, one was planning a 7 month road trip with their family, one has been "semi-retired" for 4 years, one hadn't even considered other employers for 7 years... And another was really homing in on their health with a huge volume of daily steps.

You know who you are as you read this!

And that's not to name them all. This is unique to Bitcoin. At least, in my experience, I don't know of a single cohort of men between 30 and 45, who are able to reclaim their time like this. Yes there are some outlier founders with exits. Yes there are some early retired traders. Yes there are those who chose a frugal life. But none of them have the confidence on the future these men have.

It's epic. It's inspiring. It's infectious.

Then what really gets me excited is what they might go on to create. They are making space in their lives. With new space comes new ideas. With new ideas comes new products, services, businesses, investments, art, music, hospitality, you name it. But I think the key is that they don't HAVE to go on and do those things. What they create will come from a place of desire not need.

Could this be a snapshot into the future? I think so yes. An increased focus on strong relationships, family, personal health, responsibility, accountability, and the overall message of this note "PEOPLE ARE RE-VALUING THEIR TIME". No longer is a fiat employment contract the only way to survive. There is another, self-sovereign, empowering, purposeful approach to personal financing, and therefore life.

This is what Bitcoin does. This is the dream of the Austrian School of Economics come to the digital renaissance, sound money, with proven low time preference thinking for all to see. These people are happy. They're free. They will explore. Try. Test. Fail. Learn. Move on. Balanced, based, brave. What a thing to witness.

In short: BUY SOME BITCOIN. If you already have some, buy some more. If you own assets that are not Bitcoin, ask yourself "why do I own what I own?" Does the opportunity cost of not owning Bitcoin make sense? If you have a business, how can you incorporate Bitcoin into it? Can you DCA more disposable income. Whatever it takes. The more you can accumulate, plus enough time, anyone can have this, ANYONE CAN RECLAIM THEIR TIME...

Sending good vibes
