Notes (20)
A little ghostwriting secret: everyone falls into 1 of 5 voice archetypes (#5 is most exciting)
π The Storyteller - leads with personal experience. "Let me tell you about the time I..."
π’ The Opinionator - takes bold stances. "Everyone says X. I think Y."
π The Fact Presenter - data-driven. numbers back every claim. "Studies show..."
π¨ The Frameworker - loves systems. "Here's my 3-part method for..."
π€¬ The F-Bomber - raw, unfiltered. "This is BS and here's why..."
Most of my clients are a blend of two, with one being primary
Which archetype are you?
My Christmas list:
1. More Jesus
2. More family & friends
3. More sats
Ho! Ho! HODL!
Does your Bitcoin app marketing pass this "4-Legged Stool" Test? If not, I guarantee it will fall flat.
The 4 legs:
β’ ONE big unifying idea
β’ Substantial benefits promise
β’ Ample proof for every claim
β’ Credibility evidence for product & creator
Build your stool and watch user growth π
Lightning-fast writing tip: Use adverbs sparingly. Strong nouns & verbs create effective writing. βοΈ
Where my low time preference people at?
When Bitcoin "drops" you:
Stack more sats with fiat DCA (and smash that buy button)
Go about your Monday as usual providing value
Build generational wealth over decades, not days
Carry on!
I'm not a Bitcoiner.
I'm a follower of Jesus Christ who uses Bitcoin as a tool to advance His Kingdom.
Don't be vague in your Bitcoin app marketing.
Specificity boosts conversions

Your Bitcoin app landing page loses 98% of traffic
Capture it with education π¨βπ«
Use an Educational Email Course to generate 30-50% opt-in rates & boost user growth on autopilot
But you MUST use these 4 elements or it will flop:
The hook: lead with their pain not your solution
The offer: name it like an asset "Bitcoin Buying Blueprint" > "newsletter"
The headline: benefit-driven, not feature-focused (tell them what they GET)
Your credibility: "15,000+ first-time bitcoin buyers started here"
Get these right and your EEC automates user growth while you sleep
I used to say "End The Fed"
now i say "Escape The Fed"
you can't fix a broken system
you can only opt out

Bitcoin app founders: Your expertise is killing your conversions.
We all suffer from a cognitive illness called the curse of knowledge.
Here's a list of the symptoms:
β’ Using jargon nocoiners don't understand ("self-custody", "proof-of-work", "UTXO")
β’ Leading with technology instead of their problems
β’ Assuming they already care about Bitcoin
They don't care about Bitcoin...yet.
They care about their pain:
Why are groceries so expensive?
Why can't I afford a house like my parents did?
Why can't I save money anymore?
Meet them where they are, not where you are. π€
"Dad, I canβt breathe."
My 10-year-old son, Zac, stood at the top of the stairs last night, chest heaving, tears welling in his eyes.
I hurdled toward him two steps at a time, settling my hand on his back. "Sit down, Buddy."
My wife, Kathy, rushed out of our bedroom. I looked up while rubbing Zacβs shoulders.
Kathy widened her eyes. "Emergency room."
I nodded. "Letβs go."
Zac had been fighting off something the past few days.
Barking cough.
Congestion.
Sore throat.
But he seemed to be improving.
An urgent care visit the day prior had put him on the mend.
Now only an hour into bedtime and he couldnβt catch his breath.
We arrived at the ER and five minutes after check-in, they put him through a rigorous gauntlet of tests and treatments.
Throat swab.
Nose swab.
Blood test.
Urine test.
Chest X-ray.
Neck X-ray.
CAT scan.
Fluids.
Steroid.
"I'm scared," Zac said as I walked with him back from the bathroom. He pointed at his forearm. "I donβt want them to put that thing in me."
I stopped him and gave him a hug. "I know. Itβs not fun. But the IV will help you."
After his medical gauntlet, we waited behind the curtain, Zac lying in bed, Kathy and I hunched over in chairs beside him.
The clock ticked past 12:30am.
He took deeper breaths.
His heart rate settled on the screen.
He closed his eyes.
His hands relaxed.
Rest.
Beyond the curtain, emergencies echoed around us.
"Code stroke in room 204."
"Mommy, no! I don't want to!"
"Whatβs your relationship to the patient?"
"I'm her husband."
I gazed at Kathy, appreciating the righteous beauty of a caring mom.
Then at Zac, the dirty-blonde boy who introduced himself by wrapping his tiny hand around my finger the day he was born.
Two precious gifts.
Given by God.
Bestowed upon a messed up man who deserves neither.
Thank you, Lord, for my beautiful family.
Help me to never squander any moment we have together.
We have so few.
And we donβt know which one may be last.
The curtain pulled back as the doctor entered. "He's fine. Everything was negative. Just looks like a nasty case of the croup."
Zac, eyes half-open, pointed at his IV. "Can I get this out?"
I smiled. "Letβs go home."
Netflix keeps you binge-watching until 2am. How?

On a Bitcoin standard, you can't hide the hollow clang of skill deficiency behind the brrrrr of the fiat printer

If your family chuckles at Thanksgiving dinner when the ol' "How's your Bitcoin" convo gets started, show 'em this topical chart:
Self-custody is a human right.
My family at Thanksgiving: "So you're telling us to put our money into... internet coins?"
Me: "It's decentralized sound money based on mathematical scarcity andβ"
Them: "Sounds like a Ponzi scheme."
Me: "Butβ"
Them: "When are you getting a real job?"
Bitcoin sounds too good to be true.
Skepticism is the final boss of hyperbitcoinization.
