I just asked about 20 vendors at the Farmers markets, all accepting Square @CashApp payments if they had activated their Bitcoin payments & none of them had ☹️ or even considered it yet. image

In 2006 when I got engaged, my wife’s engagement ring was the most expensive thing I had ever purchased. My wife was clearly the best investment of my life. Although her ring 💍 2006 vs. 2026 price per carrot is essentially flat to slightly down over the 20 years, which is a remarkably poor return for an illiquid asset.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Diamond 💎 Pricing a 30-year story 1-carat round natural diamond (D-I color, VVS2-SI2 clarity) • Prices rose ~4x from 1996 → 2022 peak • Then crashed ~35–45% in just 2–3 years • Lab-grown diamonds (now 45%+ of engagement ring sales) killed demand and the correction is still ongoing Net Result: A 1-ct round natural diamond you bought in 2022 has lost nearly half its value. One bought in the mid-2000s is roughly flat after the recent crash. Was not a good longterm store of value.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ image

If you’ve aged well… you look younger than you are, act younger than you are, feel younger than you are & people consistently mistake you for being younger… are you actually younger than time says you are? If aging hasn’t taken hold of you the way it has for others…. if your body hasn’t broken down as quickly, then in a real sense, aren’t you younger in mind, in spirit & in health? & if that’s true… does that translate to a longer life, or just a better one?

Jevons Paradox (noun) An economic principle stating that increases in efficiency in using a resource often lead to greater overall consumption of that resource. Example: Making LED lights way more efficient didn’t reduce electricity use for lighting, it just made people light up their homes, garages, and backyards like stadiums, burning more power than before.

Generational wealth gap: Older Americans hold the stock market. Younger Americans are betting against it. People over 50 control nearly two-thirds of U.S. equities…. while 76% of Bitcoin holders are under 50 yrs old.
