Every gold bug’s last-ditch: “But… Quantum tho?” Bitcoin: software that updates, hardens, and evolves daily.

It’s funny, the more time I’ve spent learning about Bitcoin, the more I see opportunities everywhere. When you stop thinking in scarcity, the world starts to open up.

Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold, it’s the foundation for a fairer world. Every transaction that bypasses the system strengthens individual sovereignty.

No one ever looks back and says, “I wish I’d spent less time with my kids and more time chasing fiat.” Bitcoin gives you the ability to choose what matters.

If you want peace of mind, hold Bitcoin in cold storage and zoom out. The noise fades. The conviction compounds.

Bitcoin teaches patience better than anything else. It humbles you when you’re greedy, rewards you when you’re disciplined, and reminds you that truth doesn’t need your permission to work.

Freedom over paychecks. Time with family over titles. That’s what Bitcoin gives back, the choice to live differently.

When you understand what Bitcoin fixes, the volatility becomes background noise. The only thing that matters is time.

You can’t diversify your way out of a system designed to fail you. You can only opt out.

I used to look for the next “big investment opportunity.” Now I just look for ways to earn more fiat so I can convert it into Bitcoin. Everything else feels riskier and gives less freedom.

It’s easy to point fingers at the UK government or regulators for the anti-freedom to transact KYC/AML rules. Sure, they deserve a lot of the blame but to be honest, the culture of overregulation is also something many people in the UK want. We’ve normalised surveillance and financial control in the name of “safety.” People are now grateful to be asked for proof before spending their own money. That’s not safety. That’s conditioning. Freedom to transact isn’t about hiding, it’s about not needing permission to live your life.

The louder the noise gets, the more I’m reminded how few people actually understand what Bitcoin is. Conviction doesn’t come from price action, it comes from knowledge.

I posted about Bitcoin’s security model on LinkedIn and got this response back. We are still early.

Our tech evolved. Our medicine evolved. Our money didn’t. Bitcoin is the missing piece of the modern world.

Exhausted but really proud to have run today’s Cardiff Half Marathon for Tenovus Cancer Care!

The UK government has just made it clear. They don’t care what the people think. Despite nearly 3 million signatures on the anti-Digital ID petition, Parliament is pushing ahead anyway. Freedom of choice? Gone. Privacy? Undermined. Work without a government-approved ID? Not allowed. Bitcoin provides a way to opt out of financial control. It won’t solve everything but it’s a start.

Don’t trade your time for money they can print.

Although I disagree with Peter Schiff on Bitcoin, I have huge respect for his ability to articulate what’s broken in the credit-based system. Few have done more to raise awareness and explain the problem so clearly. Highly recommend this book to anyone.

Following on from my post last week and the messages I received from it, I wanted to share a mistake I made in tech startups and one I still see other founders making today. I fell for the “build it and they will come” mantra. I came up with what I thought was a great idea and, before I could even say the words “market research” or “business model,” I dove straight into building. Building is exciting. The possibilities feel endless. It’s a thrill to create something that could change the world. But I never stopped to ask the basics. Who is this for exactly? How will it be sustainable? Is what I’m building valuable enough that people will actually pay for it? In business, inaction can kill you just as much as snap decisions. But there are fundamental questions every founder should ask before throwing money or time at an idea. The best approach I’ve found is Paul Graham’s “do things that don’t scale” method. Rather than building a £20k MVP, focus on a cheap, manual, inefficient way to prove people care about what you’re building. It’s not flashy, it’s not pretty, but it quickly tells you whether your idea has legs so you can spend more time building what people actually want.

I didn’t choose the Bitcoin life… the inflation rate chose it for me.
