If my wife and I weren’t homeschooling our kids, the world would teach them to seek approval.
My job is to teach them to seek truth.
One makes them dependent on crowds.
The other sets them up to succeed in a world that craves compliance.
But I don’t want to raise people-pleasers.
I want to raise independent kids who can stand for truth, even if it means standing alone.
The best thing about running a business while raising four kids is they see the real version. The wins, the stress, the early mornings. They're not learning entrepreneurship from a textbook. They're watching it happen at the dinner table.
Homeschooling four kids isn't efficient.
It's intentional.
Efficiency optimizes for output. Intention optimizes for OUTCOME.
This is why we do it.
That time @88_sats waxed me in 100F weather
I am coming for you Jor.
How are my clawdbot homies getting their robots around recaptcha?
Or is mine just super dumb 😅
10/10 underrated game
My first time playing this was with my kids. And I didn't win
Not sure if that's a good or bad thing lol
My job as a father isn't to make life easy for my kids.
It's to make them capable of handling hard things without me.
Comfort is a loan, competence is an inheritance.
New Bitcoin (Wishing) Well design is out
New odds to win 1,000,000 sats too ;)

Geopolitical tensions aren’t rising because leaders suddenly got worse.
They’re rising because the monetary system that artificially held everything together for 50 years is breaking.
When the dollar loses reserve status, alliances reshape, and we all know this transition won’t be smooth.
Position accordingly (buy bitcoin).

Unpopular take: monarchs have better incentive alignment than democracies.
Why?
Their legacy is their children’s inheritance.
They think in generations, not election cycles.
Our democracy has leaders who think in quarters and produce citizens who can’t think past next month.
We traded long-term vision for short-term wins.
We need structures that reward long-term thinking again.
What do you think that looks like?
Traditional portfolio advice: own stocks, bonds, real estate, gold.
Translation: stay diversified across instruments controlled or influenced by the same centralized system.
That’s not diversification. That’s multiple doors into the same corrupt house.
The Fed held rates and called inflation 'somewhat elevated.' The US is $38.5T in debt. They're not managing the economy. They're managing what you think about it. Bitcoin doesn't care about press conferences.

Every time someone says "bitcoin has no intrinsic value," ask them:
What's the intrinsic value of a promise from a government’s $38 trillion in debt?

People ask me if homeschooling is "hard."
Of course it's hard.
But so is watching your kids absorb values you don't agree with for 8 hours a day.
So is realizing at 30 they can't think critically because they were trained to comply.
Pick your hard.
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.
