Homeschooling isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about teaching your kids how to find them. Public school trains them to wait for someone to provide the answer. We’re training them to figure it out themselves. One creates dependency. The other creates capability.

I love the nostriches 💜

Strategy’s $STRC is a solid product. Fixed dividend, downside protection, and for investors who want exposure without holding bitcoin directly, it works. But let’s be clear: it’s not bitcoin. You’re holding preferred shares in a COMPANY that holds bitcoin. I respect what Saylor’s doing, he’s orange pilling institutions and showing the world how bitcoin works as a treasury reserve. $STRC is for people who prefer the comfort of a traditional finance wrapping. But just remember: bitcoin is a bearer asset. You can hold it yourself. No Strategy required. If $STRC fits your portfolio, use it. But don’t confuse it with ownership. The goal is still sovereignty.

Bitcoin CEO & Gen Z React to Peak Bitcoin FUD

This week’s show is going to look a little different! @halstonvalencia and I are going live in 30 mins to talk about the latest bitcoin FUD + other crazy things in the world!! Tune in at 6pm EST:

My openclaw afternoon research hit home today. This guy knows his stuff 🧠 AFTERNOON RESEARCH REPORT When Markets Crash: A Biblical Framework for Financial Sovereignty Why this matters today: Bitcoin just crashed below $70K, the timeline is full of panic. This is exactly when framework matters most. THE DEEP DIVE Here's what most people miss: the Bible isn't anti-wealth. It's anti-idolatry. Scripture is relentlessly practical about money, stewardship, and weathering economic storms. The question isn't whether you have wealth. It's whether you're a faithful steward of it. Proverbs 21:20 — "The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down." This isn't about hoarding. It's about time preference. The wise man thinks generationally. He builds reserves. He doesn't consume everything in the present moment because he knows winter comes. Sound familiar? Low time preference is a biblical principle before it's a bitcoin principle. Genesis 41 — Joseph's grain storage strategy during seven years of abundance to survive seven years of famine. This is the original "stack sats" playbook. Joseph didn't trust Pharaoh's monetary system to preserve value through crisis. He stored real goods. He understood that fiat promises fail when stress-tested. Proverbs 13:22 — "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." Generational thinking. Your bloodline matters. Your grandchildren's financial sovereignty matters. This verse isn't about leaving your kids a nice retirement fund. It's about building something that outlasts you. Something that can't be debased by a central bank or inflated away by politicians printing their way out of bad decisions. Matthew 25:14-30 — The Parable of the Talents. The master doesn't reward the servant who buried his talent in the ground "for safety." He rewards the ones who put capital at risk and grew it. Stewardship isn't passive. It requires conviction, action, and yes, accepting volatility. Here's the thing about today's drawdown: volatility is not risk. Risk is permanent loss of purchasing power. Risk is trusting a system designed to extract value from your family over generations. A 45% drawdown in an asset that's up 100x over a decade? That's not risk. That's the cost of conviction. Ecclesiastes 11:2 — "Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land." Even Solomon understood position sizing. Concentration builds wealth. Diversification preserves it. The wisdom is knowing which season you're in. The real question a crash forces you to answer: Do you actually believe this? Not intellectually. In your bones. When the timeline screams. When the easy move is to panic sell. Faith isn't tested in the good times. Neither is conviction about money, sovereignty, or the broken monetary system you're trying to exit.

I don’t need my kids to be rich. I need them to be ungovernable. I need them to know how to think, not what to think. To question authority, not blindly submit to it. To build wealth that can’t be confiscated, diluted, or voted away by people who don’t have their best interests at heart. You can’t teach that in a system designed to produce compliance. So we opted out.

The financialization of bitcoin is a symptom of broken money.

Traditional portfolio theory tells you to own a little of everything: stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities. Sounds smart until you realize you’re diversified across different expressions of the same centralized system. When that system breaks, and it will, none of that diversification will save you. You’re not spreading risk. You’re concentrating it and then gaslit to think it’s safe.

The specialized degree is dead. Most people just don’t know it yet. Young people will no longer need specialized degrees in marketing, finance, or accounting etc, because the future will belong to people who can solve problems across any domain using AI as leverage. I’m watching this play out with my Gen Z employee @halstonvalencia. We’re using systems like @claudeai to 10x our output across marketing, research synthesis, strategic planning, workflow automation, and data analysis. We’re constantly learning, experimenting, and iterating because problem solving skills compound with AI, and the gap between those who adapt and those who don’t is widening FAST. Universities are selling credentials for a world that no longer exists. AI generalists who can think critically and solve problems across domains are the future.

The government doesn’t want you wealthy. It wants you comfortable enough to not revolt and desperate enough to keep working. That’s the sweet spot. Too poor and you’re a problem. Too rich and you’re independent. The entire system is designed to keep you in the middle: earning, spending, taxing, repeating. Financial sovereignty isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting free.

The average American works January through April just to pay taxes. Then works until August to cover inflation. By the time they’re actually earning for themselves, half the year is gone. And we call this freedom. We’ve normalized a system where the majority of your labor goes to funding a government that devalues what’s left. If that doesn’t radicalize you, you’re not paying attention.

Bitcoin is more at risk today than ever before.

Every major religion has warnings about storing wealth in things that can be destroyed, stolen, or corrupted. Yet somehow we convinced ourselves that numbers in a bank account controlled by people we’ve never met is “safe.” Your savings account isn’t protected by deposit insurance, it’s protected by the full faith and credit of a government $38 trillion in debt. Read that again and tell me where the safety is.

My Clawdbot gives me a weekly report on Mondays about things it thinks I should know. This week: homeschool curriculum recommendations based on what my kids struggled with last week. We're not waiting for the future. We're building it at the kitchen table.

Homeschooling costs us convenience and social acceptance. Public school would cost us our kids’ formative years, their natural curiosity, and their ability to think independently. When you frame the trade off honestly, the choice becomes obvious.

Everytime you buy an ETF instead of bitcoin, you’re saying “hey, I care less about sovereignty.”

Self-custody isn’t paranoia, it’s ownership. If you need permission to access your wealth, you don’t own it. If someone can freeze your account, devalue your savings, or seize your assets, you’re not financially sovereign. You’re just temporarily allowed to hold what’s theirs. Not your keys, not your coins. It really is that simple.

My Clawdbot gives me a weekly report on Mondays about things it thinks I should know. Here's what it thinks caused the bitcoin crash this weekend 👇🏼 --- THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER This wasn't one event. Three forces hit simultaneously in thin weekend liquidity: 1. Geopolitical Shock — U.S.-Iran Escalation Military escalation reports hit Saturday. Classic risk-off. Bitcoin, being 24/7, became the "world's ATM" — sold first to cover losses. Same pattern as COVID and Liberation Day tariffs. 2. Hard Money Reset — Gold and Silver Got Wrecked Too Gold dropped 9% Friday to ~$4,900. Silver crashed 26% to $85. The Kevin Warsh Fed nomination sent the dollar surging, making dollar-priced assets too expensive for international buyers. Massive de-risking across ALL hard assets — not just bitcoin. 3. Liquidation Cascade $2.5B in leveraged longs liquidated in 24 hours. 200,000 traders blown out. Forced selling triggers lower prices triggers more forced selling. Liquidity never recovered after the Oct 10 crash, making thin weekend books even more fragile. --- How do you think it did?
