I am a parent I am a problem-solver I am not defined by my portfolio value

Last night, as I struggled to sleep, the only thing that actually calmed me was when I started thinking about God A higher power Whatever journey this is that I am on, as I released myself to the experience, my nervous system responded with a knowing You’ll be totally fine This to shall pass The more time that goes by, the more open I become I would never have guessed this

You are not your money

Bitcoin is 45% off it's ATH in Oct 2026 My net asset calc shows 60% off ATH in Jan 2026 Why? - Bitcoin has drawndown - I've re-allocated to RE (an expensive process) - we had higher than expected expenses last year - we had a load of fun spending some gains But today, ooft, my net asset calc is very similar to 2023, so it's gone backwards in terms of the fiat denomination Hard one to take Barely slept last night in fact So, today, I am taking action, not surrendering A new short-term plan must be made The planned renovation altered An updated strategy to keep up momentum No-one said this stuff was easy Trying to step into my better self of the future Let's go!

Learning the hard way Bitcoins fiat volatility is very hard to manage fixed capex requirements This move down has really caught me off guard My fault My lesson Some hard decisions need to be made And tricky conversations 🙏🏻

How does Nostr make you "feel"? What is exciting with Nostr? Why build with it? So interesting chatting with people actually building on Nostr npub136jg2fnty2z5vwcnh7p4jpckrs3tk0dpueftgs7mznuuaenjpfps6tjnxf

Went boxing for the first time in 6 weeks this morning Really is good fun So hard Heart beating away Humbled by how good others are A good way to compress some over-confidence Whilst simultaneously a good way to build confidence 💪🏻

If I was a momentum trader The Gold > Bitcoin trade right now sounds on point

What if Bitcoin has sniffed out a turbulent time ahead for all markets?

Stealth QE is already happening

Regretting past decisions as an investor is a tricky one Case in point: I am regretting not taking “more profit off the table”. Beating myself up. Anxiously checking price. Regretting committing to capex on a property renovation. Wondering if I’ll ever own enough Bitcoin…. Coulda. Woulda. Shoulda. Wallowing in victim hood is pointless The question is: what next? Need to evolve out of the emotions and get more practical What a journey! Blessed to have the space to make mistakes, learn, and iterate Capital allocation is an amazing way to learn if you have had a good idea or bad Good = an ROI to be pleased about Bad = your money’s gone Live with it Jake What do you think? Form an opinion and own it The regret is a signal to improve. The symptom to dig deeper. To learn more. To gain a better understanding The quest for wisdom was always going to carry a cost So long as you have a net gain on the way through then you’re all set Sending good vibes Our biggest mistakes often become our best lessons 💪🏻
