Thinking back on 2025 Probably one of the worst years I've had Scratch that It was, by far, the worst year of my life *Covid was bad but it ended up being a blessing in disguise However, this year gave me the opportunity to practice skills that will serve me well for the rest of my time here on earth - stoicism, gratitude, and discipline I've also been thinking about how lucky I am to do what I do every day I'm not sure how many other Bitcoin channels are 100% value for value - you could probably count them on one hand And it's pretty fuckin cool that I'm in that company I still have some adsense money from YouTube but it barely covers my internet bill each month. Fuck YouTube I believe integrity is the greatest asset one can hold in life - far better than Bitcoin And taking the V4V route allows me to speak the truth I believe in without any outside influence Side note: I will be doing a V4V promotional segment every morning on show featuring Bitcoin/Nostr businesses starting next week! This is a win-win-win in my eyes. Let me explain: WIN 1 - the Bitcoin/Nostr businesses that can promote their product or service without an upfront payment (or any payment at all) *it will be 100% success-based WIN 2 - the community can discover new products and services being made in a low time preference world In addition, they will be able to grow their own network and move further away from the fiat banking system WIN 3 - I'm able to maintain my own voice without reliance on sponsors Win-win-win is best case Ontario Anyways, the reason for this post.
