This morning was Monday morning, and I must say, it was glorious :
- woke up
- fed the kids
- argued with the kids
- shouted at one or two of them
- got all of us to the coffee shop
- had a lovely 20 minutes
- chatted to a 60 year old with kids but no grandkids yet, “Jake, the mayhem, just remember, you’ll really miss it one day” (one child was up a tree, one had just spilt its babychino everywhere, and the other was arguing with the dog)
- whole fam went for a walk along the beach path with scooters
- hit the playground
- home by 10 to get organised for the babysitter
- started cooking lunch
- went to the gym
And boom, that was my morning. No rushing to work for someone. No forcing children into school uniform. No classic Monday blues day at a desk
Yes there were some road bumps, but I was parenting, husbanding, and got some self-care in, all on my own time
Amazing
Which helps me understand more and more that wealth = time
I don’t care what anyone wants (accept my wife and kids)
I am walking to the beat of my own drum, going with the flow, allowing things to open up
Why share this?
Well 1) to reflect and be grateful, and 2) to hammer home the beauty of sound money
Being able to save in Bitcoin gives me my time back
Financial capital problems covered
Like magic
Even with a 35% draw down
But volatility I’d take everyday of the week over illiquidity or counter party risk
Feeling blessed
Cheers to taking Mondays back

Content creation on Nostr is like busking
Create entertainment
Get paid direct
So much work goes into a podcast
Most of it totally unnoticed
You have to love doing it
Gosh it’s epic bumping into a Nostr note thread of high quality conversation
New people
New connections
New opportunities
All bound by a new idea. Digital free speech. No delete button. User centric. Improved property rights. Inter-generational. Innovative. Nascent.
What a time to be alive
I’ve never searched based on a hashtag
Does anyone?
I’ve never posted using them either
Does anyone?
Will trial and error a few approaches
Main thing I am testing is “reach” of podcast short form clips
I can’t imagine life without zaps
