All my life, I've been late to the party: I became an Airline Pilot 20 years too late. I started an online marketing agency 10 years too late. I started having kids 5 years too late. Which is why I still can't believe I've stumbled in early to #bitcoin and #nostr.

Put your zaps where your likes are.

You don't need to be intelligent. But you do need to be good at recognising intelligence in others. Thankfully over the last Decade I've heeded the advice of intelligent people, and my life is in a far better place because of it.

I need to ween myself off the digital crack of convenience, and start drinking the green tea of online privacy. The transition will be painful, but will save me from a catastrophic end.

The things I'm most proud of have been the things I was terrified to do. Buying #bitcoin was no exception. Many times in 2022 I'd execute large Bitcoin buys really fast so the gut wrenching resistance didn't win over and stop me doing it.

Without #bitcoin I'd be feeling pretty insecure about me and my family' future right now

If you want increased wealth to buy nice THINGS and impress OTHERS, you'll be disappointed when you achieve it. If you want increased wealth to buy EXPERIENCES and CONVENIENCE, you'll be satisfied when you achieve it.
