The balance-sheet cheat sheet: Hold hard assets and cash-flowing assets on the asset side and debt on the liabilities side. Method: Use debt to obtain the best cash-flowing assets (real estate rental property for example) using as much of other people’s money as possible. The hard part is finding assets which a positive yield. A higher return than your interest payments (cost of capital). Save any surplus cash in hard assets. Do your own research but some examples are #bitcoin, rare art/cars/watches, #gold, S&P 500 index, short-term treasuries, etc. Avoid holding much cash (the saying cash is trash comes to mind). Repeat. #learn #nostr #nostriches #pleb #plebchain #cheatsheet #fiat #assets #debt #value #dyor #wealth

Preview of the brisket I’ll be putting on Wednesday evening! Been looking forward to this one. It’s been a while, about a year, since I last smoked a #brisket on the pellet grill. Not going to lie, the prep for it is a bit of a pain but it’s worth it. #foodstr #bbqstr #bbq #smoked #lowandslow #grill #grillstr #prime #beef #proofofsteak #nostr #pleb #plebchain

Anyone having trouble receiving zaps on @strike should check their settings and disable privacy, that also disables tipping/zaps. If you can, could you please #zap me to test if my lnurl is working now? Would be greatly appreciated! @jack mallers is it possible to separate privacy and tipping/zaps? Would be nice to receive while maintaining as much privacy as possible. #pleb #plebchain #nostr #nostriches

It’s hard to not let some things get you down. Sometimes, as hard as you might try, things won’t go your way. An actual example of something that happened to me today: Followed up with a client and was told they had gone a different route. Would have been a significant job and went through some effort over the past two weeks to visit site, follow-up, submit estimates, provide samples, etc. Client was ready to pull the trigger but I couldn’t deliver within their timeframe (next day). Client was noticeably bothered and went elsewhere. I tried to salvage the situation but at the end it didn’t work out and got confirmation this AM. Not going to lie, it bothers me and I get in my own head about what I could have done differently. Sometimes things don’t go your way. It’s okay to get frustrated and be bummed out for a bit but you can’t let it ruin your day. What helps me is thinking about all the positive things I have and other projects I’m working. I force myself the best I can out of that state. Music helps, calling a friend or family member that cheers you ups, play a game, listen to comedy, writing, anything to get you out of the negative mindset. That’s what I’m doing now, writing this to help others and future me get over the gloom. #positivity #mindset #success #growth #theprocess #gm #nostr #plebs #noexcuses

Confederate dollars were first issued in 1861 and became worthless at the end of the Civil War 4 years later. Confederate money was not backed by hard assets like gold or silver. Instead, it was largely backed by the promise of future payment based on the anticipated success of the Confederacy in the Civil War. So basically fiat. Now just worth whatever collectible value you can get for them on eBay. They sure are pretty though! #NFT’s anyone? #fiat #currency #btc #nostr #civilwar #dollars #plebchain #themoreyouknow

Went to get a haircut earlier and unexpectedly #bitcoin was brought up, almost everyone said they were “afraid” of it. I was asked about it and not wanting to go to deep, I just replied with: “I don’t think anyone should be afraid of it, you just need to take some time to learn about it… I think the best way to think of Bitcoin is like it’s the best savings account. Put your money in, hold for the long-term, let it grow, and only dip into it if you really need it.” That seemed to catch their attention. After some brief back and forth it actually looked like they understood. Older audience by the way, mostly 60+ there today. Comparing #btc as a savings account seems to be the quickest and easiest way to get the message across without having to pull out @Saifedean Ammous‘s Bitcoin Standard. #nostr #pleb #plebchain #themoreyouknow

Good morning! Having an espresso to start the day. I really enjoy the process and time it takes to use a #moka pot. Could be quicker with the nespresso machine but this is satisfying to use. Make today a great day. #gm #espresso #coffee #coffeestr #nostr #foodstr #pleb #bialetti

Homemade ice cream. Simple to make and nice to know exactly what goes in. Two main ingredients: heavy cream and egg yolks. Optional: vanilla extract, sweetener of your choice, pinch of salt. Great way to eliminate sugar, high fructose corn syrup, seed oils, and other junk while still getting most or all of the flavor. #nostr #foodstr #yum
