Every central bank in history has eventually chosen inflation over stability. Not necessarily because they're evil,   but because the incentive structure requires it. The problem was never the people. It was the system. Bitcoin changes the incentive structure at the foundation.

Faith without action is dead. And if you believe God calls you to steward resources wisely, but you're parking generational wealth in instruments designed to devalue, there's a disconnect. Faithful stewardship requires understanding the tools you're using.

The Bible is clear: store treasures that can't be destroyed. For centuries, that meant land, gold, skills. But throughout history we have seen people strategize and find ways to destroy (centralize) these assets. Thankfully, there's a monetary network that can't be confiscated, diluted, or controlled by rule changers. I truly believe God gives us tools to steward wisely, and for me, one of those tools is bitcoin.

Every time you accept inflation, you're voting for your blood line’s decay. Every time you convert time into bitcoin, you're voting for sovereignty. Your daily decisions are building one future or the other. Choose wisely.

Society rewards you for being predictable and punishes you for being sovereign. That's not an accident. The question is: are you willing to pay the short-term cost of independence for the long-term gain of freedom? Most people aren't. That's your edge.

The average person spends more time researching a vacation than their monetary policy. Then wonders why they can't get ahead. Your bank isn't working for you, and your government isn't coming to save you.   You either take responsibility for your family’s treasury or someone else will. And that someone else won’t do it with you in mind.  Buy bitcoin to opt in to controlling your family’s treasury.

A man who can’t steward money will struggle to steward a family. Hard truth.

2026 Mantra: Stack sats. Pray more. Hug your kids. Ignore the noise. The signal has never been clearer.

True wealth has 4 parts: - Spiritual peace. - Physical health. - Time with family. - Hard money in cold storage. If you’re missing one, you’re not rich yet.

The most expensive mistake you can make? Winning at the office but losing at home. Your kids won’t remember your ROI or your "exit" strategy. They’ll remember if you were there for dinner and how you set them up to improve the bloodline.

Imagine trading your bitcoin for more "pixels" (dollars). You’re trading the hardest money ever discovered for a currency that loses 5-7% of its value every year… I say short the banks, long the code!

Above all else in 2026: Trust God. Tell the truth. Protect your family. Own your time. Everything else is noise.

In 2025, my wife and I learned something that changed how we see everything: Not everything is permanent. Some relationships are seasonal. Some friendships are long-term, but not lifelong. Some communities shape you deeply, then release you. That’s hard to accept, especially if you value loyalty and roots. But permanence isn’t the same as significance. Some of the most meaningful seasons of our lives came from people and places that were never meant to last forever. They did their job. They prepared us for what came next. Letting go isn’t failure. It’s alignment changing. Long-term doesn’t always mean permanent, but it can still be formative and worth everything you gave it. We learned that together in 2025.image

A circular bitcoin economy isn’t ideological, it’s practical. When value moves peer-to-peer, more value stays in the community and communities strengthen and intermediaries lose power. That’s not radical. It’s how money used to work.

In 2025, my wife and I decided to start homeschooling. That decision came with a lot of opinions. “Won’t they miss out socially?” “What about structure, standards, college?” What most people don’t realize is that the traditional education system isn’t optimized for learning, it’s optimized for scale, compliance, and corporate hell. Homeschooling flips that. Kids learn faster because they’re not dragged at the pace of the slowest in the classroom and because curiosity isn’t punished. They develop agency because learning becomes something they own, not something done to them. There’s more time for deep focus, more room for real-world skills. More space for values, faith, and critical thinking to actually take place. Education shouldn’t be about memorizing answers, it should be about learning how to think. The intentionality we have with homeschooling gives our kids an edge. And in a world that increasingly rewards independent thinkers, that matters more than ever.image

High time preference destroys nations before it destroys balance sheets. But it also destroys families. And what I love about bitcoin is that it trains you to think in decades, which is EXACTLY how a good father should think.

You know what’s interesting? Non-custodial systems remove counterparty risk by design. Custodial platforms add it back for convenience.  That difference will be the most important distinction between bitcoin platforms over the next 10 years.

Canada isn’t broken because of markets. It’s broken because Ottawa keeps picking the “winners” Debt instead of productivity. Housing inflation instead of real growth. Regulation instead of accountability. Alberta produces. Ottawa redistributes. Then wonders why everything feels tighter every year. You can’t build a country by taxing the parts that work to subsidize the parts that don’t. Strong economies are built by builders, not bureaucrats. image

Building @BitcoinWell started with a simple question: If Bitcoin is about sovereignty, why do so many companies still hold customers’ bitcoin? Bitcoin Well was built non-custodial by design, even though it’s harder and slower. No custody. No rehypothecation. No seizure risk.  Control stays with the customer. There are easier business models. Custody is one of them. But it recreates the fragility Bitcoin was meant to fix. Non-custodial isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation.
