I’m so happy I picked up my phone before bed and came to Nostr instead of Twitter and saw the Assange news

It’s rare to be a millionaire, 1.2% of the population is worth more than $1 million. (8% of Americans) It’s rare to be low body fat, only 1-3% of adults maintain a low body fat %. The Citadel Stack: 6.15 BTC 6.15 pack abs You are a UNICORN if you achieve this. Only 0.05% of the population has both a 6 pack and a million dollar net worth. Join me.

My superpower is I can see the future. It’s made me a millionaire multiple times through entrepreneurship (I bootstrapped a game business when Facebook opened up the API back in ~2007/2008), and then later through investing in Bitcoin early. My superpower also helped me raise 9 figures for nearly 100 businesses over the traders and saved my friends from losing tens of millions of dollars (maybe hundreds?). I JUST realized today that I haven’t been in control of my powers for my whole life. Seeing the future can also be a bane. I was trying to CHANGE the negative future outcomes that I saw coming - but my superpower is SEEING the future not CHANGING the future. I was constantly trying to correct behaviors & thought patterns, thinking that I could change things to avoid negative future outcomes. While I have definitely come in at the right time for people in my life and have 100% changed their future, this takes a major toll on me. Something simple like my daughter going over her screen time by an hour could put me into an anxiety state where I am envisioning the negative consequences of her continued overuse of screens years in the future … causing me to try to prevent a negative future from happening in the present, which usually leads to arguments because normal people don’t think like this. Worrying is my cryptonite. I am now going to focus on finding the tools to help me deal with changing the future in a way that doesn’t send me into worry and anxiety over negative future outcomes that don’t exist yet. Does anyone else have this super power, and have you discovered a way to interface with normies in a way that allows you to have an impact on the future without harming the present?

I shave my beard to kick off the bull market. It’s time. No, this has not been a bull run … it’s only the accumulation and early markup phase. Omega candle around the block.

It’s time for the beard to go. 🪒

Behind every great Bitcoiner is a woman who worked and paid for him to stay home and look into Magic Internet Money in between gaming sessions. Eh @HODL!

For the last 4 months I’ve been training to scale Citadel walls and for the first time in my life, I’m able to climb a rope! This is a big skill unlock for me, I was never able to do this as a kid or at any point until today. I’m officially in the best shape of my life at 41. You can do it. Become the person strong enough to be bestowed upon by Bitcoin.

I just realized that in 2011 I was guided to Bitcoin. It was not a coincidence. I was in a coachable mode of seeking solution, and I was receptive to it immediately. I had no doubts or concerns about whether it was legit or whether it would work or if the government would stop it, etc. I was in the mindset of receiving wealth. I had previously gone through foundational mindset books like “As A Man Thinketh” and “Think & Grow Rich.” I was a big fan of “The Secret” and generally enjoyed the law of attraction exercises like figuring out what you want and attracting it to you with vision boards etc. In 2011 I was going through somewhat of a challenging phase of my financial life where revenue was declining for a year straight and the post GFC world felt like a ponzi scam…I didn’t want to put my meager profits into stocks and real estate so I started learning about the history of money and gold. I was watching a video about how to import gold and silver ingots into Canada when the guy mentioned that if you like gold & silver you should be looking at digital gold, bitcoin. Immediate buy in. It was a life changing moment for me, though I didn’t know it then. I did not deliberate, I plugged the source code straight into my brain. What I’m saying is - are you closed off to new opportunities, or are you in a receiving state? For periods of time after I found Bitcoin, I went through periods of being closed off, of having a scarcity mindset, forgetting the foundational lessons of goal setting and focusing on achieving and receiving. It seems I got a lot of value from being in a receiving state in the past. There’s a balance point between being in a state of attraction AND the filter of experience and lessons learned where I’m now sitting, perfectly balanced. What will I be able to accomplish and achieve now that I’ve found the balance point? I’m excited to find out, and I hope the same for you.

I joined @David Short on Business Books & Co to do a review of one of my favorite books of all time, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. Check it out on @Fountain

There are timeless principles that underlie stock trading. In this episode we discuss Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, considered by many to be a...

2024 has been a mission to build a Citadel Mind & Citadel Body. Re: the mind, I’ve been going through the journey within to discover the source of unhappiness and feeling unfulfilled in my life. Once you discover the source of happiness, just like the source of time and the source of money, is yourself, things can change quickly. For those who’ve gone through this process, what’s the next step once you make it through the initial momentum of discovery & implementation of routines and changes in your life? I’ve noticed remarkable differences in my mindset, my outlook & my relationships. Re-wiring how your brain works after 40 years of habits and patterns is a difficult process. Consistency is key for me. When I’m not consistent with my routines, I fall back into old ways of thinking and being which lead to noticeable mindset changes. I wonder how (or if) it’s possible to get back the exciting & energetic feeling of when I first became aware ~3 months ago.

I can see the future. Problem is, nobody believes me at the time when I predict it and once my vision comes true, nobody remembers I called it 😂 I guess that’s what trading is for … if you have convictions in your predictions, you can financially benefit from them. The problem arises when you are principled 😅

Every time I go back to Twitter (once every 2 days or so) I have to mute someone. So much nastiness over there. I also feel the urge to publish my muting for everyone to see. What is it about Twitter that makes you want to publicly shame people you disagree with by broadcasting the fact you unfollowed or muted them?

I wrote my “why I’m nuking my X profile” manifesto today. I’m not sure I will actually post it, but it was a fun exercise. I used ChatGPT of course, it was kinda wild … I told ChatGPT to search my writing & 4 recent books I’ve written … and what it came back with was very impressive. It asked me a bunch of questions and then gave me a proposal structure - I modded a few things and it wrote a whole manifesto.

I’m really struggling with the idea of nuking my twitter but I’m 50% more likely to do it this month than I was last month. The more breaks I take from Twitter, the more I realize was a toxic cesspool of mind poison it is. It is a source of unhappiness.

Fellow Bitcoiner David Short has a great podcast NOT ABOUT BITCOIN. https://fountain.fm/show/DUOG6Px62NEuWAHZwsl1 Business Books & Co, and I’m pumped to join them next week to review “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.”

I'm hiring an Executive Assistant and paying a competitive salary. This will be an important role in supporting my Bitcoin, entrepreneurial & personal adventures with dozens of projects across various industries from venture capital to video games to non-profit work. I’m not an organized person by nature, I’m a “move fast break things” type of person. I’ve been very successful as part of a bootstrapped team and also as a lone wolf, relying on both my instincts and my long term convictions to create success. I’m a connector and my super power is seeing the future. I need to find my very own Alfred who loves to create order from chaos & doesn’t mind giving me advice when I need it. Someone who loves meticulously architecting, priority sorting, crafting & maintaining to do list while interfacing with many people to keep projects moving forward. I have a lot of passion projects on the go, including: Fitness: I started a challenge to get abs and learn calisthenics! My goal is 165 lbs, 10% bodyfat & to eventually learn to be a calisthenics master. I’ve hired multiple coaches to help me get to this goal, and I’ve been exercising every single day, and eating clean. I hired a full time meal prep person and have been building a solid team of exercise friends. I’m committed to a new lifestyle of fitness. Family: I want to spend as much time as I can doing relationship strengthening & fun activities with my wife & daughter like travelling, sports & hobbies. I also want to influence and encourage my extended family towards healthy habits & financial literacy. Learning: I have conviction in my beliefs but I spend as much time as I can learning new skills, I’m a life long learner. I’m open-minded, coachable and flexible. Currently focused on learning about my own limiting beliefs & developing a new way of thinking to live a happier, healthier life. I’ve also invested in multiple business & mindset coaches to make me a better leader & life a more frictionless life. Film: I was recently the executive producer of my sister’s award winning environmental documentary (which we finished with Bitcoin) & I'm producing/helping with multiple Bitcoin documentaries. I'm starting a film production company where we will be developing more educational documentaries as well as comedy films. Podcast, Speaking, Events & Coaching: I run a Bitcoin education podcast & coach dozens of people on Bitcoin. I want to level up the events I do. I’m also a speaker at Bitcoin conferences & I am ramping up my media production team to create more educational content for social media that I'm passionate about. Writing/Book: I’ve written a lot on financial markets, banking & money. I’ve got a first draft of a non-fiction book on financial literacy education and Bitcoin over the last few years, as well as working on a fiction book recently. Advising: I’ve joined the advisory board / board of directors of a handful of companies and political groups including founding the Bitcoin Coalition of Canada, a non-profit aimed at educating policymakers and journalists in Canada about Bitcoin.. Investing: I’m a seed investor in dozens of Bitcoin startups, investing alongside prolific investors like @jack & others, with a focus on investing in entrepreneurs globally in Africa & Latin America. I plan to start a fund & raise money to support early stage bitcoin entrepreneurs building bitcoin & bitcoin adjacent companies on bitcoin layers globally. Charity & Philanthropy: As I mentioned, I started a non-profit in Canada to help increase financial literacy. I’m raising for the non-profit while also supporting multiple financial education non-profits internationally as well as donate to dozens of global groups supporting human rights & fighting financial oppression globally. I also donate to local initiatives & desire to show up more in the local communities where I spend time. Real Estate: I own an AirBnB that my mom runs, we plan to continue doing AirBnB projects, which require some attention now and then. Travel & Lifestyle: Since my wife is Portuguese, we're interested in getting citizenship, buying property & starting a business in Portugal. We want to start taking more trips to other interesting countries, including family trips to places like Iceland, Jamaica, Japan & El Salvador. I want to mix my fitness & bitcoin education goals with this trips to make sure I’m also maximizing the opportunity to educate, speak & do podcasts in other countries when I visit. Fun: I love to play video games, D&D, watch movies in the theatre, listen to comedy & play sports. I love to ski, surf & try new things. I desire to integrate more fun activities into my life in a healthy way to make sure it also fits in with my family & life goals. With all of these projects plus more continually being evaluated, you can image my inbox & calendar is in need of someone to help wrangle everything and unlock hidden value that I have not had the time to even read. This role is not just about administrative tasks; it's about becoming a key partner in achieving strategic business and personal growth goals.  Our journey will be one of continuous growth and organizational structuring. I’m looking for an EA who will be pivotal in helping me level up in all areas of life. If you know someone that sounds qualified, please send them to bradmills.ca/careers and have them apply. Please share this post with anyone who you think might be qualified to join me.
