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?

Your dollars are losing value by design. Your kids are being indoctrinated (educated) by design. Both systems were built by people who don’t have your family’s best interests in mind. You can opt out of both. Most people won’t. And that’s your advantage.

My 9 year old asked me yesterday why we don't send them to regular school. I told him the truth: because I don't want strangers deciding what you're allowed to think. He said 'that makes sense.' Kids get it faster than adults.

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.

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.
