Life is funny. A few years ago I was working on a national tech transformation for a 5 star resort group, earning more money than I ever thought I would and sitting comfortably in the highest tax bracket. On paper, it looked like I’d “made it.” Now I’m in the lowest tax bracket, working reception at a beachfront hotel in a small regional town, and I can honestly say I’ve never felt more content. Turns out, I don’t miss the prestige nearly as much as I thought I would. What I love now is the humanity of my work. I love welcoming tired travellers after a long drive. Solving real problems for real people in real time. Remembering the guest who likes extra towels, or the couple celebrating their anniversary, or noticing from someone’s micro expressions whether they want a warm chat or just a quick, seamless check in after a hard day. The details matter. People matter. There’s something deeply fulfilling about making someone feel genuinely looked after. And when my shift ends, it ends. I don’t carry work stress home with me anymore. I sleep peacefully. I have a wonderful boss. My job pays the bills. I get time and energy to work on the thing I’m truly passionate about, the podcast. And every day I get to live beside the ocean in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Funny how life works sometimes. The version of success I chased in my 30s looks very different to the version that actually brings me peace. These days, I think wealth might just be sleeping well, breathing deeply, having time for what you love, and not dreading Monday morning. Thank you, Satoshi. 🧡

✅ Posted progress content Small tweak from the community… I upped my reading to 12 pages a day, as suggested. Still going strong without coffee. Week two was definitely harder, at least mentally. There’s been a bit of a battle with myself. My brain keeps suggesting I’ve earned “just one” because I made it through the first week. “Go on, reward yourself,” Anja says to Anja. Nice try. 😆

The ultimate proof central planners aren't needed? The only part of Bitcoin they can control is the exit from their system.

✅ Posted progress content Today, I nearly compromised my progress. A poor night’s sleep, a few unexpected curveballs, and some very strong coffee cravings had me questioning whether I could stick to the challenge. For a moment, it would have been so much easier to give in. To tell myself that one day wouldn’t matter. To choose comfort over commitment. But I didn’t. I reminded myself that progress isn’t about having perfect days. It’s about what you do on the days when things don’t go to plan. So I stayed the course. Because the real challenge is changing your habits, your mindset, and the way you respond when things get difficult. One day at a time. One choice at a time. Today, I chose not to give up. 🥹

Hard money has a way of exposing soft excuses.

Labor MP Andrew Leigh explaining to Australian Bitcoiners, who weathered every crash, bear market, MSM FUD, "it's dead" obituaries, and smug lectures, that their asset "never did anything" and they should've handed their hard earned money to the ASX instead.

★☆☆☆☆ — "My First Bear" This was my first bear market, and I'd like a refund on the experience. The price falling was fine, in the sense that gravity is fine. Expected. Unpleasant. What I wasn't ready for was how long it goes on. It's not a crash, it's a slow leak, and you just sit in it. The thing that almost pushed me out wasn't losses at all. It was the infighting. The endless, exhausting arguing inside the community. At one point I wanted to rage quit the whole space, not because of the chart, but because of the noise. That surprised me. The upside is real, though. I know how this feels now, from the inside, which means I'll actually be able to show up for my audience the next time the mood turns. And hopefully next time I can separate myself from the mood a bit better, too. Glad it's behind us. Holy cow. (To the 90% drawdown veterans... yes, I know, this was a baby bear.) 😁

✅ Posted progress content One of my non-negotiables for a happy life is living somewhere where wildlife is part of daily life. Where nature isn’t something you have to seek out, but something you wake up to, notice on your way through the day, and feel lucky to share your surroundings with. 🧡
