Our unpopular opinion is that opsec is generally not that important 😭 @halstonvalencia: “you’re more at risk wearing a luxury purse”

Your bank told you self-custody is too hard and too risky. Think about why they'd say that. They need your bitcoin sitting in their system because the moment you take self-custody seriously, they lose. The "difficulty" of self-custody just feels like an organic marketing campaign funded by the people who profit when you stay confused. Buy bitcoin. Put it in cold storage.

The biggest threat to bitcoin isn't governments, it isn't banks, and it isn't even quantum computing. It's the community eating itself alive. Maximalists fighting over things that don't matter, infighting on Twitter, gatekeeping, purity tests, all while the most significant monetary shift in human history is playing out. The banks are buying. The institutions are buying. The governments are buying. And we're arguing with each other?? That's the Achilles heel. Get your eyes back on the mission.

Block laid off almost half of their employees today. AI is not going to take everyone’s jobs, but yes, it will be incredibly important for you to adapt.

Sound money produces long term thinking. Long term thinking produces strong families. Strong families produce stable communities. Stable communities produce accountable institutions. Inflating the money supply brings shorter time horizons. And shorter time horizons destroy everything downstream.

My kids will be the first generation to grow up knowing what sound money feels like. Bitcoin in self custody will allow them to never have to own a bank account. This is what I build for.

A lot of people stop going to church because they’ve had poor experiences. Here’s what I’ll say on that:

Bitcoin is a bearer asset. You should custody it.

Men who serve themselves destroy their marriages. Men who serve their wives build kingdoms. Christ modeled it. Scripture commands it. Your ego dies so your family thrives.

I don’t think leadership in marriage is about control. It’s about carrying weight your wife shouldn’t have to. Financial stress, difficult decisions, spiritual direction. Husbands absorb pressure so their family can survive. Wives nurture the environment so their families flourish. It’s a team effort. image

I homeschool because I refuse to outsource my children’s worldview to strangers with agendas. Call it extreme. I call it responsible parenting.

Jesus doesn’t promise comfort, He promises truth. Following Christ means rejecting lies even when they’re profitable, convenient, or culturally accepted. The path is narrow, and few find it. Bitcoin’s path mirrors this: another narrow road that few discover and fewer still have the conviction to walk. image

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.
