Selling cash secured puts and covered calls are two of my favorite option trading strategies that I use to generate monthly income and its simpler than you might think.
🧵on my preferred rules based on 6 months and counting of testing:
Don’t doubt your investment thesis as it pertains to Bitcoin.
You cannot print your way to prosperity. Every unit of currency created dilutes every unit already in existence.
The market eventually reprices for this — it always has.
Bitcoin is essentially Austrian economics encoded in software. It cannot be manipulated by central planners. It is the first truly scarce digital asset in history.
Friedrich Hayek literally wrote about the denationalization of money, the idea that currency competition would produce better money than government monopoly. Bitcoin is that competition.
Key to winning:
Choose to be positive and grateful. Then, just keep at it. Time is the great compounder and will do the rest.
So many people just don’t have the discipline to stay positive and grateful. Then time compounds the bitterness instead.
The answer doesn't have to be in your head; you can look outside yourself. If you're truly looking at things objectively, you must recognize that the probability of you always having the best answer is small and that, even if you have it, you can't be confident that you do before others test you. So it is invaluable to know what you don't know. Ask yourself: Am I seeing this just through my own eyes? If so, then you should know that you're terribly handicapped. #principleoftheday
People think freedom is psychological. It’s biological.
A regulated nervous system can explore.
A dysregulated one contracts.
Sovereignty starts in the felt sense of the body.
Almost 1 year ago, James Van Der Beek posted this video as he wrestled with his mortality and reflected on the meaning to life.
Today, he died.
I strongly encourage the rest of us to listen to what he discovered before his battle was over.
I truly hope in the past year, he met Jesus. That is where the road he was on ultimately ends.
He is right that you are worthy of God's love. He loves you. He is real. And he really sent his son to die for your sins so you can be with Him forever.
In his most recent video blog, Dr Joe explains how to interrupt worst-case-scenario thinking and heal patterns of anxiety.
If you want something in your life to change, you have to change – by bringing your awareness back to the present moment.

SpaceX just officially shifted its #1 priority to building a self-growing city on the Moon. Not a base. Not an outpost. A city.
Here's why it makes sense: you can launch to the Moon every 10 days vs. every 26 months for Mars. Two-day trip vs. six months. That means hundreds of iteration cycles before you could even attempt the same thing on Mars.
And today Elon Musk followed up saying SpaceX will build a system that lets anyone travel to the Moon.
The engineering logic here is sound. Build fast, learn fast, then go further.
@RetireonDividen I did, just to try it out .. it’s actually not bad if you keep it well below the LTV value of 86% .. I like to keep mine below 50% and I like that you can adjust the LTV at any time , add and or remove collateral etc..
You thought the fun was over? 🏈
This weekend, video takes center stage on the timeline.
We’re awarding $1M, $500K, and $250K to the top three videos about @grok, created with Imagine 1.0.
Why is a $3M home a status symbol but a $3M portfolio isn't?
How can someone value "looking wealthy" over having more financial freedom?
Makes zero sense.
I’ve had more people reach out to me shaken in this cycle than even in 2022 (when Bitcoin went down 75% from $68k ATH to $16k!) saying they’re panicked, they sold, or they’re suddenly “not sure” about Bitcoin.
Some bailed into gold because they still want to stay on the hard money train. Some are convinced quantum computing is about to “break” Bitcoin. Some tell me I’m reckless for being so undiversified with my life’s savings.
I understand the fear. Drawdowns aren’t fun. They can mess with your confidence and your timeline…especially when the mood is this dark (and when your income is tied to the same asset you’re holding!).
But here’s where I’m at: Bitcoin is still the only life raft worth holding and helping other people find.
My mom gets $900 a month in Social Security. Who can live on that? That’s not a retirement plan - it’s a slow economic strangulation.
So no, I’m not in Bitcoin because it’s some thrilling get rich overnight scheme. I’m in Bitcoin because I don’t see another path that gives everyday families like mine a real shot. I didn’t get in early enough to be “set.” I’m still building. Still working. Still trying to protect the people I love in a system that keeps making life more expensive!
I haven’t lost faith….not because I’m numb to this volatility, but because the problem Bitcoin solves hasn’t gone away.
If you’re shaken right now, you’re not weak. You’re human. Just don’t confuse a bad market mood with a broken thesis.
Keep going. Zoom out. Do the work. Take care of your family. I’m doing the same. We’ve got this.
