Cash Flow Funds Optionality (JWP 132) In this episode I break down how a tweet about cash flow, ended up explaining a mistake almost every investor makes on the way up, and only notices on the way down. Learn why cash flow isn't just boring income sitting in the background, it's what buys you the ability to wait. I walk through two people with identical net worth but completely different financial lives depending on whether their cash reserve is a reservoir or a stream, why yield looked stupid to me during the bull run and stopped looking stupid the moment Bitcoin fell 60%, and a real story about a holiday with my wife that felt free at the time and expensive in hindsight, plus the pushback from her that reframed how I think about funding lifestyle from cash flow instead of chipping into the capital stack. I also get into why I stopped asking "how do I maximise my returns" and started asking "how do I maximise my ability to stay in the game." So I ask you: what would change in your financial life if you stopped measuring it by what you own, and started measuring it by what it produces?

Dad, what's a Sixpence? (JWP130) This episode starts with my six-year-old walking up to me one afternoon and asking, "Dad, what's a sixpence?" I follow that question all the way down. I dig into the 400-year life of the sixpence, a British coin quietly debased over decades until there was no silver left in it at all, and finally withdrawn in 1980, largely without anyone noticing while it happened. From there I get into what debasement actually looks like in real time, why every generation assumes the money it grows up with is permanent, and why being a good capital allocator means being a student of change as much as a student of markets. Also covered: the books that have shaped how I think about money (Menger, Lynn Alden, Saifedean Ammous), where Bitcoin fits into this story without being the whole story, and the question I've been sitting with since that conversation: what do I own today that feels permanent, but probably isn't?

Help pls My wife is building a health app that’s genuinely private — the kind where the company literally cannot read your data. Not “we promise not to look.” Can’t. It synthesises your genetics, labs and biomarkers into personalised health guidance, using confidential computing (Maple AI / OpenSecret-style). She’s hiring a developer with real experience in encryption, secure enclaves, or confidential-compute systems. Non-technical founder, paid work, not a co-founder search. If that’s you — or you know them — reply or DM 🙏

For some reason I can’t see my latest podcast ep that I published on @nostr.build via @primal mobile app But it’s working on desktop… Any tips?

Anyone use Obsidian? Been working on a new product, for personal use, and long term wealth strategy Think a family office style knowledge base to pass down to the next generation Something I wish I could have accessed when my dad died Accrued intellectual capital It needs to outlast AI models, laptop provider, Gsheets etc Be private And the .md file format seems to work very well for this use case Text files so easy to manage Will contain investment notes, ROI, mistakes, balance sheet etc Appreciate any feedback if Obsidian has any pro/con 🙏🏻

The Market Intelligence Report: Version 1 (JWP128) Early release for all my Nostr friends... A few weeks ago I sent an early version of my business to 44 people I trust. My main aim: tell me why it wouldn't work. Well over twenty replied. One even told me to get a job. All of it was valuable. What I didn't realise at the time was that I was accidentally building a market intelligence database. This process has fundamentally changed how I think about building Bitcoin Custody Architect. In this episode I share Version 1 of that report. What you'll hear: - Why one opinion is interesting but five independent people saying the same thing is evidence - How the market moved me from sovereignty to recovery, and from documentation to confidence - Why multiple people independently pointed me toward financial advisers as a distribution channel I never asked about - Why the annual review is now part of the core offer, not an afterthought - Why stories teach better than specifications ever will - And the biggest lesson from all of it — which had nothing to do with Bitcoin This is Version 1. I expect it to look very different by Version 10. That's the whole point. If you have a custody story, a recovery experience, an inheritance challenge, or a mistake you learned from, I'd genuinely love to hear from you. Every conversation improves the next version of this report. Head to jakewoodhouse.io/bca

Putting yourself out there, with ideas, your voice, new concepts, comes at a cost Peoples opinion Projection Some of it is very helpful Some of it is very unhelpful Sifting through the emotion, and trying to listen for the real signal, is one of the hardest parts of it To trying! To failing! To trying again! 🙏🏻

Could Your Family Recover Your Bitcoin Without You? (JWP126) Most people who hear that question feel something shift. Because the honest answer is no. Or maybe. Or they haven't really thought about it. In this episode I introduce the concept of Bitcoin Dependency, and why it's the most under-examined risk in every serious Bitcoin holder's life. If your family cannot recover your Bitcoin without you, you do not have a Bitcoin custody plan. You have a Bitcoin dependency. I also share the personal story that shapes everything about how I think about this, my father dying suddenly when I was twenty, and seventeen years of figuring out what to do with inherited capital without a roadmap left behind. That experience is the foundation of what I now build for clients: a Family Bitcoin Plan. If you're holding meaningful Bitcoin, have a family, and haven't built a plan around your custody yet; this episode is for you.

Could your family recover your Bitcoin without you? Most Bitcoin holders have spent years learning why, how, and when to buy Bitcoin. Far fewer have spent time preparing their family to recover it if they are no longer there. If your loved ones cannot recover your Bitcoin without you, your Bitcoin depends on you. That's what I call a Bitcoin dependency. You are: • The password manager • The recovery procedure • The documentation • The inheritance plan • The technical expert Remove you, and the system may fail. I believe Bitcoin Custody Architecture is a critical piece of the puzzle for Bitcoin holders looking to build a Family Bitcoin Plan covering: • Custody • Recovery • Inheritance • Family preparedness If you'd like to learn more, click the link in my bio.
