Yesterday I abstained. It’s going to be so good today, I can’t wait. #CreamiCult

Looking for a good trade off for Google. Want more privacy but good results. I find DuckDuckGo results are bad. Is there a good way to use private search?

I’m on day 55 of #100to100K It was just what I needed after a very rough end of 2023 and a holiday binge month derailed me from my otherwise great progress in 2023. As you can see from this graph I started doing 100 pushups a day at the local peak of my bodyfat % back in Feb. Yesterday I just hit my lowest bodyfat % that I’ve been what feels like in 10 years. It’s not too late to join us.100 Pushups A Day Until $100k!

I’m in proof of work mode. Currently down from 18% last year to 15.1% body fat. My 2024 goal is 170 lbs, 12% bf and I’m dropping 0.05% bodyfat every day. To get there I am eating 1800 cals/175g protein a day, with 45 min exercise every day, no scheduled days off. Rest days are yoga & walks. Resources: Friends like @HODL Joe Carlasare and @GoingParabolic to help you stay motivated as accountability partners. Myfitnesspal Local gym friends who push you in the gym (found a local bitcoiner Trevor Rosborough who is jacked and 6% bf to help push me.) Tony Horton’s Power Nation app. I hired a lifestyle coach Dan Martell to help me with goal setting and vision, as well as lifestyle design. I hired my sister to cook all my meals for me. Ninja Creami is a life changer for protein ice cream. 100 pushups a day until $100k I started doing “Deka” training once or twice a week. I entered my first competition today and got a respectable score of 19:00 flat on Deka Strong. I beat my previous personal best of 21:36 which I just did last week! Before that my pb was 26:46. I’m seeing

Have you ever struggled with the question “Is the universe a good place or a bad place?” If so, you’ve not yet discovered the Ninja Creami.

It was great to meet the push-up king of Atlantis @Zach while I was in Madeira. View quoted note →

We started the Bitcoin Coalition of Canada as a way to try to educate policymakers and journalists about bitcoin, as well as create resources for Canadians to increase their financial literacy. BCC has had a few board meetings so far and things are coming along. We have big dreams and the passion to never give up on achieving them. A lot of people want to help, that’s what we’re focused on short & medium term - coming up with a process to be able to receive all the energy coming at us from people wanting to help! @Scott Wolfe @Nolan @BitcoinBrains @Bitcoin Coalition of Canada

I’ve just completed Day 50 of 100 Pushups a Day To $100K. I haven’t attempted a single set PB since the push up contest in Madeira at Bitcoin Atlantis almost 2 weeks ago. I’m feeling like making a go at it today 💪

Sauna sessions cure

I love baths

In 2011, I was inspired by Ron Paul, Peter Schiff & Robert Kiyosaki to save in sound money. I took my entrepreneurial savings & bought gold & silver. Then I discovered magic internet money & started buying & mining Bitcoin at $10. I recently posted about how I was operating from fear and how that was going to change. After some reflection, I realize I wouldn’t be protected with a Bitcoin shield today without fear. Fear is a powerful motivator. Don’t ignore your fear, but, don’t let it control you. Harness it and let it be a super power. Is your fear real? If yes - then Cheerfully & Constructively do something about it. My doing something about it was productively protesting a corrupt system by saving in sound money. Of course like all early pioneers, I didn’t make it to the promised land completely unscathed. Selling too much Bitcoin early, trusting insiders & exchanges, not having a risk management system, etc. I’ll probably have a very hard time to ever make it back to my high watermark in BTC terms. However, I just bought more BTC as we flipped Silver because I studied and learned lessons. The first half of my life was about acquiring knowledge, mental toughening & learning lessons through experiences and gathering resources. I was moving forward with naive hope and dreams, attracting success, but energy was leaking everywhere, high entropy. Now I'm focusing my mind and body. I’m assembling a team. I’m moving into Citadel building mode. Step 1 to building your bitcoin citadel is to have a clear vision and define the object objectives. Clearly articulate the mission, goals, and values of your Bitcoin Citadel. Outline how you envision the Citadel supporting your community, the Bitcoin ecosystem, your investments, and cultural projects you’re passionate about. Your citadel must be big enough with fertile soil to allow for others to plant their dreams and grow within the protection of your walls.

Ah shit, it’s time for bed and I’m only at 60 pushups. I did 2 exercise sessions today. This is gonna suck 💪

Magic Internet Money is coming back from a long hiatus with @PABLOF7z Might be a little windy but we made it through.

I stopped zapping months ago when Apple banned Zapping. It was too many steps to keep zapping. Is there a better way to zap on an iPhone? It’s not that I don’t want to zap, it’s just not as easy as it was.

I’m having such an incredible time here in Madeira. I’ve been working out every day, eating lots of delicious meat, fish and vegetables and doing 100 pushups a day to $100K. I have rarely travelled to Bitcoin/Nostr events but that’s about to change. It’s so great to be surrounded by Bitcoiners. I’m actually coming back from this trip in better shape mentally and physically. I’ve lost 3 lbs of fat while I’ve been here for 8 days and I’ve been waking up at 5-6 am. I’ve gotten so many positive messages from people I met for the first time at the conference and side events, surprisingly many even listen to my podcast 😅 I’m going to record an episode for the first time in 5 months tomorrow with @PABLOF7z who really surprised me when he said he was a fan of my pod and encouraged me to record again 😀 Some exciting belly to belly things happening here with FREE Madeira, Sovereign Engineering, lots of bitcoin folks have moved here, and it’s no wonder why. Plus what a great location it was for the Bitcoin Film Festival & the Startup Pitch Fest which I got to participate in! I’m lucky to be in a position to have such a close proximity to people like @Samson Mow and @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 who I consider close friends and advisors as well as co-investors in great bitcoin companies. Also got some great 1 on 1 time with people I look up to a lot like @preston who gave me a great framework of thinking about how to be a good leader and focus on delegation and taking responsibility. A great cliff side sunset walk with @UNCLE ROCKSTAR which I’ll never forget, and a protein packed Damus BBQ with @jb55 and his family & friends discussing webs of trust and nostr redaction. I got a great sauna session in with @miljan and his son Marko discussing overcoming fears and limiting beliefs, health and the future. I have missed many opportunities and offers in the past couple of years because I had a “ceiling of complexity” … but because of my new daily health & mental level-up routine, i am choosing @Jeff Booth's PICNUF framework to focus on the positive. I also hired a coach, Dan Martell, and I’m fired up! I was talking to Aleks Svetski and he said he could feel my shifted energy 😀 I’m going to build a team and build my citadel (figuratively for now) and be more proactive about expanding my impact to help lift up my community, my family and as many startup founders and bitcoin culture contributors that I can. I went through a thought exercise in January- if BTC was at $1 million tomorrow, would I be able to build an actual citadel? The answer was no. So I’ve been making big changes in my life to make sure I am the person who can building a citadel one day. Who can? Brad Mills Can 😀 I also got a chance to briefly shake hands with (but not yet spend any time with) @Michael Saylor and @jack who have inspired me greatly over the last few years. Saylor’s “cheerful and constructive” message has been in the back of my mind as a self correcting mechanism for how I interact with bitcoin critics and shitcoiners. Jacks commitment to right the karmic scales and be a net positive for freedom and free speech has inspired me to invest in many educational and bitcoin tech companies in Africa and Latin America - which surprisingly, Jack followed on to 2 or 3 of them in later rounds, showing I am on to something with my investing strategy. I shook hands with and/or hugged and spent time with or broke bread with many many awesome people, and a bunch I wish I got to spend more time with. I have a massive list of selfies with beautiful people and notes on the exciting things they are doing. I’m going to start going to more of these events so I can develop closer relationships with all of you who are my tribe! Excited to also be spending time with my wife and daughter while I’m here, because my wife is Portuguese and I’d love for us to get passports! Thought I would share my positive thoughts as I’m driving to the west side of the island to see 15 foot waves 🌊

100 Pushups A Day Til $100K has evolved into me being committed to making not only financial all time highs with the inevitability of Bitcoin, but also committing to get into the best physical shape of my life. Coming back from Bitcoin Atlantis after a 12 day workation, I’m going to be in the best shape of my life. I’m making cycle lows in bodyweight and bodyfat %. When BTC is at $150K I will to have added 5-8 lbs muscle mass. 1800 - 2000 cals a day, 175 G protein a day (thanks to @HODL for that tip.) Join the push up challenge 💪
