5 minutes is way too long for a hodl post
That was a good vlog. Hitting me with the AI slop at the end was a nice touch. Gotta keep people on their toes.

All of us who zap and like @HODL's vlogs are definitely on a 3 letter agency list 😂
Trying hard to shoot down Palestinian kids.
You’re on that list just for being on nostr friend lol
The list is labeled “The Nostr Retards” 🤣

I’ve started the compounding for my daughter, and she’s not even born yet.
The quality of these are reaching new highs. The intro, the guns, the ideas, the depht, the outro. Solid 10/10 would exfoliate💥⚡️

Hate to sound unappreciative but why the hell didn’t you tell me this when I was 20? …oh yeah you weren’t born yet 🤔
Great job Hodl! Episode 6, shots fired!
That rare 20 year old who started saving young is so rewarded by their compounded savings, they will likely be the person who actually stacks harder as their earning power grows.

well done! 💪🏽
The lil jingle never gets old 😂
I don’t get the intro… what do the people on the mansions know about that the doctors don’t? Compounding? Do doctors not know how compounding works?
I think the people in the mansions take outsized risks - that’s why there are in their positions.
More #gunstr on #nostr

Risk is a big part of it too, but the average doctor is absolutely horrible with money.

Whole book on this. Feel free to skip Section III, probably even IV too.

This is something the SF guys do, black guns stick out in desert environments and make you an easy target. I’m doing it because it’s fun to larp as an SF operator lol 😂
Listen to HODL, shout out to your co-star - the unruly locks that said no cap! 🤣
You know what else is fun HODL? Washing your penis :p
Fantastic v-log!!!🔥🔥
Fantastic v-log!!!🔥🔥

This is the "good" life? A giant, chemical lawn? A place where you have to strap into a 2-ton machine and travel 60 mph to get a glass of milk? Constant work to maintain (or make executive maintenance decisions) about roofs, walls, foundations, HVAC and plumbing systems, etc etc...
I look at this and I see "big fat tax target". Massive opportunity costs, so unable to move, which inevitably requires intervention in local politics to secure your rights. Political compromise.
I see Zuck and Elon and Bezos lining up behind the Gawd Emperor at his Imperial Coronation, because *that's what they have to do* to live "the good life."
DOPE🔥🔥🔥
Compounding in all areas of life. Emphasis on the pounding 😏
Its hard to take a concept from 0->1.
@HODL has, in my humble opinion, achieved this with #NOSTR Vee Logging 🪵. VLoggers everywhere #vlogger
lol
These remind to have a positive outlook on life, and to appreciate all the good sacrificial compounding i have done in my life so far.
Thank you for making these @HODL 🧡

I started way too late. But man, am I trying to make up for lost time now! If your partner isn't annoyed by your stacking, then you're not stacking hard enough!

Fantastic clip, man!
The intros are getting better and better.
I love the five-minute format.
As for the message, yeah, I started way too late, but I'm trying to make up for lost time. It's never too late to stack more sats!
If you pennypinch every nickel your entire life, you will have regrets. If you only live for today and save nothing your entire life you will have regrets. The trick is to find the sweet spot in the middle.

Good stuff 🦅
You are just stepping on the gas with each vlog brother and giving everyone much food for thought. This was awesome to say the least! Compounding is definitely a super power because every small action is a vote for the person you will become, and time is the relentless multiplier that cashes in those votes. The tragedy is that neglect compounds just as ruthlessly as discipline, and both are invisible until it’s too late to undo them. Compounding is the silent architect of destiny. It doesn’t shout, it whispers, and by the time the world notices, the trajectory of your health, your wealth, and your mind has already been set. The small daily decisions matter. Thank you again for sharing this. 👏
Did you fly the drone towards you while shooting?
There’s no drone shots in this one, but I did use this cool little motorized tabletop dolly
Ah. Yeah something was moving. 😅 Still waiting for the drone lol.
Haha I have one, just need the right shot to use it
I know! 😅 Do it!
no shooting, no drones 😞

My only problem with these vlogs is that they aren’t an hour long
The Reverent HODL preaches again 🙏🏻
I thought about making them longer but I think I’ll stick to the five minute format for now. I kind of like the restraint. It forces me to be more concise and on topic.
Is the other other side of the street for citadels only?
@HODL THANKS FOR THE SHOUT-OUT TO MY DAUGHTER BTC-HODLR AND I . SHE WAS SO STOKED SERIOUSLY IT MADE HER DAY.. SHE WATCHES ALL YOUR VIDEOS SND PODCASTS THAT YOUR ON 😂 KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT WE WALK ALONG SIDE YOU BRO 👊🏼

A Nostr diss track to each corporate social media platform would be 🔥
I understand compounding in TradFi when there is a compounding mechanism involved. But it looks like you are suggesting that there is a compounding mechanism involved if you stack BTC (maybe I’m wrong). But if you are suggesting that BTC is somehow subject to a TradFi compounding effect, I would be very grateful if you could explain how. Cheers. 🙂
Ignore the noise. Painted guns are the fucking hoss…but put a can on that fire stick, ya heathen.
Not compounding in the TradFi sense (no yield on yield). With BTC, “compounding” just means the more you stack, the more of your stack benefits from the same % price moves. It’s really just exponential exposure, not a built-in compounding mechanism.
Ok. Whew! Glad to hear this. I was worried. Cheers.
Its what the world always should have been per @Jeff Booth, economy get more efficient - > buying power go up

Great episode. Compounding also works against you with 401k fees. Account administration fees, mutual fund fees, and hidden fees can be around 2%. Doesn't sound like much right? But over a 40 investment life?
$10,000 investment @ a CAGR of 8% grows to $217,000 over 40 years
With 2% yearly fees, it's only $103,0000
They take half of your gains! Add inflation and you'll never get ahead.
Assume an average Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for BTC price. Lets say 30%.
After 5 years $10,000 becomes $37,000
After 10 years it becomes $138,000
After 15 years it's $512,000
After 20 years it's $1,900,000
After 25 years it's $7,000,000
After 30 years it's $26,000,000
Start early. stack hard.
Compounding relationships is the greatest form of wealth 💛

CAGR has nothing to with BTC price or price action. CAGR as it is applied to BTC is simply a way to compare BTC’s hypothetical fiat spot sale price to the performance of a TradFi investment that has an actual compounding mechanism built into it ie. yield folded back into principal. To apply a CAGR equation to BTC’s future spot sale price is logically irrelevant because Bitcoins price is not subject to a compounding mechanism.
Excuse me sir, have you ever heard of passive income?
You're killing it again with a great message! Living with intention can't happen when we're chasing the cravings of our small mind. In my twenties, I opened a gym combining pursuit of passion with business ownership. After I got it up and running for the first three years, it paid me without me ever stepping foot in it again for the next 17 years (until COVID shut it down). The other part of the picture is treating people right.
That's actually a really good point. The definition of CAGR assums reinvestment of any interest over time only to simplify the formula. But the calculation does not require a yield. The 1/n in this equation is the compounding mechanism.
Yes, it doesn’t require a yield as it is applied to BTC because it assumes that it is built into the final sale price. That is why it is used as a way to compare the return to an investment that has an actual compounding mechanism built into its growth. Because it usually varies annually, CAGR is used to smooth out the variance to arrive at an average over the time being measured. Fundamentally though BTC’s price is not subject to a compounding mechanism so CAGR should not be used as a way to evaluate historic or future price trends unless you are comparing it directly to something that has an actual compounding mechanism. 🙂
Loving the Vlogs 🫡

I will never choose to live in a suburban hellscape, don't care how big the house is.
That street is everything that's wrong with American culture, why on earth rich people would choose to live like that I'll never understand.
I can walk in any direction I want, in most directions I can walk for hours without an issue, I can hunt and forage without bothering anyone else. My neighbours do not care if I walk through their properties as long as I don't upset their livestock there's no issue.
I have enough land to raise my own cattle and grow enough vegetables to survive.
Would a larger house be nice? Sure, would I give up my freedom and privilege to live in a suburban shithole just because of a bigger house? Absolutely fucking not.
The difference is that the doctors are workers who help others and add value to the economy, the people on the other side of the road are parasites that do not work and do not add value to society
You'll actually find that the people who own investment properties are mostly doctors and other high wage medical professionals.
But they typically only own a handful of investment properties.
The people who own dozens or hundreds of investment properties are only able to because of corruption.
Because they already had money, and hey used that money to lobby the politicians for tax incentives and loosening of regulations that allows them to bleed the economy and exploit other people more effectively like a parasite.
At least the doctors actually add value to society.
Hodl up brother 🫷🏻While I don’t “work” or provide direct “value” with my hands… The work I do is what LEADS to the doctor having a job to begin with or the 16yo I just hired in Villa Maria to install fixed wireless clients in rural AR… I have been of service and I will be of service. Just not always the same 🫡💯✅ I get paid to use my MIND not my hands ❤️
Always feels strange seeing people shoot at human shaped cutouts instead of hunting animals or practicing on regular bullseye targets.
We do use the human shaped cutouts but only for handguns, for sport. Because sport is the only reason you're allowed to own a handgun here.
But the points scoring system for shooting is based on getting as close to centre mass as possible so a regular bullseye target can be used all the same.
It's about desensitising you so that you can shoot people without hesitation?
Personally I think just using firearms enough already does that, if you can kill animals I think that makes you better at killing people then if you can hit a stationary target shaped like a person
I’m leaving America 🆘 for too many years I’ve been the only person pushing for a VIOLENT UPRISING 🏴☠️🥷 now as I age I realize that will never happen!! The brainwashing is to deep America must fall like Rome before eyes will open!! At that point the violence will no longer be one sided it will be anarchy… So the rules of survival has changed… A strategic retreat is now the only survival strategy I see 🫡💯 our nation is DONZO brother

The vlogs are evolving good sir. Ps I think your zap wallet may be full because I can’t zap you
Wait nvm now I can zap you, must have been a glitch
Great Video!!
Where did you move to?
I think you could make a pretty good guess that most Nostr users understand compounding
That vlog was dope
Worth listening to, again and again, and sharing with your kids
Ayy, no worries! Glitches happen, but I’m all set to get zapped now! 🔌✨ Let’s go!
The target shooting really makes the vlog more dynamic 🔥😂
Pshh. Amateur shit.
Would rather park a kayak and van at the lake and rent their house for $5k/month and own nothing.

Nice vlog so far!
Interesting and positive content as always with you.
I do care!
Yes
This is so good!!
Motivated me to do abdominal crunches watching this……
I was not crunching hard enough………

I had a teacher in high school who was a retired banker. He taught me compound interest at 16 and it changed my life.
I’ll be passing this down to my kids too. Couldn’t agree with this more.
Nice series!
Which city is that street in?
A.I. land
lol 😂
Explain it to me in vlog format
Bitcoin fixes this
Amazing work
Just wow
Done. Will make a podcast about it
I feel like both sides of the street understand compounding. It's a nice street & both sides RE investment has been compounding at roughly the same rate.
I'd wager both sides of the street have savings that are invested to compound.
I'd say the less rich side is made up of highly paid professionals & the wealthy side is more likely entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are able to extract the value of other's labour & can more easily scale theirs.
Compounding has a huge effect but it's the ability to scale your own efforts that sets you apart. Even the most sought after surgeon can only bill 40-50hrs of their time each week. The owner of the surgery can have 5 surgeons billing 40hrs a week & can add more with only a little extra effort/cost.
Really succeeding in the fiat world is determined by your ability to extract value from others.
Put another way, you’re ability to compound your own efforts is constrained (or enabled) by your ability to work with and inspire others
One of the things I’m looking forward to as fiat dies, is the forcing function of capital having to invest via equity (sharing risk and reward), vs the rent-seeking fuckfactory that is fractional reserve banking that lends on terms that entail near-zero risk to them
Build with others who share your ethos, not just the vision and goal
I like the message and the tone. Compounding is not everyday math but a cheat code for those who discover it.
I live in the neighborhood with the professionals. Trust me they don’t know shit lol
Not that I care, but how the duck do you buy 50$ in gold?
Do what the average gold investor does and buy the etf
Yeah, I will pass on that one
