"He wore stoicism like armor, believing it made him invincible. But inside, he was a storm yearning to be acknowledged. They told him to "man up," so he built walls. But within those walls, he lost touch with himself." Most men are taught to suppress emotions. But suppressed emotions don't disappear. they control you from the shadows. You can’t lead others if you’re hiding from your own emotions. Face them. Own them. Because emotional numbness isn't strength. It's a barrier to connection and purpose

Anger isn't the problem. Burying it is. When you feel it and face it, on your terms, it becomes your fuel ⛽️ Not chaos. Not destruction. Instead, it becomes your Power! Your emotions aren't your weakness. They are the ignition switch. 🚀🎇

You’ve secured your wealth on the outside. But you’re bankrupt on the inside. You know how to hodl through volatility, but not how to feel through your isolation or pain. You’ve locked away your stack… …but in the process, you locked away your heart as well, and with it, your ability to connect deeply. So you self-medicate. With work. With beer. With porn. With some dopamine drip to keep you grinding while pretending it’s all “part of the plan.” You say you’re building toward freedom. But deep down, you still feel owned. By her unmet expectations. By the tension in your life you haven’t confronted. By the part of you that’s terrified to feel anything real. This is fiat masculinity: > responsibility without nurture, > discipline without connection, > performance without peace. It’s time to upgrade the OS. From the inside out. Proof of Heart begins here

** I’m on a mission to help Bitcoiners master their inner world. Help me spread the word with a repost, and I’ll repay the favor with 1K sats.** Conviction isn’t mental—it’s emotional. I wish I would’ve known this sooner. My early Bitcoin journey might’ve looked different. The safer you feel emotionally, the more free you are to HODL through volatility. And when you’re free, you are unshakeable. If you want to win the long game, focus less on control and more on emotional sovereignty. Here’s the truth: When you operate from a place of internal security, the outcomes take care of themselves. But when you chase security through the outcome? You panic sell. You get wrecked. You start to force. And that’s when your conviction crumbles. Emotional sovereignty is key. It’s what allows you to HODL steady, stay present, and execute powerfully when it matters most. This isn’t just about Bitcoin. It’s about life. Emotional sovereignty applies to everything worth building.
