Started building something new Early days But it’s exciting More of a pivot than totally new 😜

Another thing the Q1 bear is hammering home I need to create a higher yield on my time Cashflow from that is a natural defence from Bitcoin volatility

OpenAI and US Gov doing a deal to spy on people No surprises there

One upgrade for my future that I will make sure is true Next time I won’t be forced to sell at the dip

The last six weeks have exposed many areas of my life that I didn’t realise needed work: • liquidity discipline was thin • volatility leaked into home life • operating capital and investment capital were blurred • ego was still attached to prior highs That’s tuition fee’s. Expensive tuition fee’s. But tuition fee’s that will pay in the long run. Financial capital balance: DOWN Intellectual capital balance: UP

My father handed me capital. Life handed me volatility. The market handed me humility. That combination is not a curse. It’s apprenticeship. Painful, yes. But real.

Biggest lesson of this bear market: When using Bitcoin as your primary means of value storage, the volatility to the downside is a risk to never forget, so if you’re ever considering large capex opportunities, such as a renovation, if, and only if, you feel wealthy enough in that moment of decision, you proceed, and you take all the money off the table to ringfence for the project, and manage a predictable cash flow I didn’t so this… I wish I had

I know a guy running a TG group with technical analysis market commentary Talk in through “strategy”, good time to buy or sell Nowhere have they mentioned selling any Bitcoin But behind the scenes they’ve taken 65% off the table at strategic points on the way down Each to their own of course But be careful out their friends

This week, I spoke with David Parkinson, an entrepreneur deep in the Bitcoin journey, turning his passion into a reality. No-one said this was easy, but it sure is interesting! Musqet is a very exciting business, and an example of where I see things going long-term, with practical implementations of Bitcoin in the real world. In particular keep an ear out for his experience fundraising, an area I have more and more interest in. **Timestamps:** **0:00** Introducing David and Musket **0:29** Musket Bitcoin Payment Demo **2:56** Explaining How Musket Facilitates Bitcoin Payments **5:44** Defining a Bearer Asset **10:35** The Intersection of AI, Bitcoin, and Energy **15:34** David's Origin Story with Bitcoin **22:37** Adoption of Bitcoin Payments **32:51** Musket as a Trojan Horse for Bitcoin Adoption **41:51** Bitcoin Is Inevitable **47:10** Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs Thank you Best, Jake

The same technical analysts that had a chart saying 180k was inevitable Are now, mhaving said we were in a bull market a few weeks back, are pointing at charts saying it’s going to 40k More and more I think of it as pointless noise

Where’s that meme I saw recently of the Goldmans boss admitting AI has shortened 6 people’s work for 6 weeks pre-ipo by 95%?

Last few weeks has been some of the most intense I’ve experienced Got up at 4am to work on what I will do And there it was Clear as day An income strategy that was a niche, leverages my skills and network, plus could be something built for short-term cash and long-term value Through the pain, comes the opportunity Or at least a piece of the puzzle has been revealed that wasn’t clear before Bring it on
