Savings and spending
Savings are the store of excess you create against future uncertainty
Bitcoin is the ultimate savings tool
As Bitcoin goes through this crazy monetisation process, those savings get turbo-charged
Many will find themselves with new and previously unimaginable choices open to them, and to their families and their communities
This is where spending comes in
Should you have excess savings - beyond your definition of “enough” - then you can now make meaningful change to those lives you care most about
Fundamentally you need to search and find what matters to you, and what change you can make in the world, once you’re making decisions without regard to financial impact
This is a significant mindset shift
The mantra of “never sell your bitcoin” has a useful meme half-life of two cycles: the first where you are still learning what Bitcoin is, and the second where you’re stacking like a crazy person
After that, be extremely cautious of those screaching “never sell your bitcoin” at you - they most likely have a product for you
There is NO borrowing without risking your collateral
In the end .. exactly what part of “permissionless money” are some of these folks not getting?
Beware your ego trap
One of the best bits of advice i received as a young software developer was:
“it is amazing how much you can achieve if you don’t care who gets the credit”
Never were truer words spoken
Resonated then, and as a Bitcoiner even more so. Figure out what your mission is. Focus on *it*. Think hard about your ego and don’t let it run the show
Remain humble 🤝
Grateful to y’all
One of the most subtly beatiful things Bitcoin brings is other Bitcoiners from all across the planet
I’m so grateful for the many I’ve met and know who’ve challenged me, taught me, argued with me, corrected me, helped and guided me .. and the many I’ve had the pleasure to laugh and drink and eat and talk with
If you’re a Bitcoiner who hasn’t met other Bitcoiners yet, consider doing so as the rewards are vast

Sats IS the standard
Bitcoins (plural) are for the fortunate who own more than 1
Don’t hate on your favourite influencer for only having a single bitcoin 😜
