I’m not afraid of losing money, failing publicly or starting over, I’m afraid of being in the same spot I was 10 years ago, same ideas, same dreams, same fears, same income, same hopes, same wishes, same struggles, same doubts. I’d rather take the risk and bet on myself now
You will work 90,000 hours in your life. If someone prints money, they steal some of that time from you. Since 2020 they have printed 40% of all dollars ever printed. They therefore stole 36,000 hours from a person who has worked their whole life and just retired.
It’s incredible how many people work their entire lives earning dollars, save those dollars in a bank account, and never connect the dots.
They treat inflation like some imaginary boogeyman instead of understanding what’s happening:
The government continues creating more dollars, increasing the supply of money, while the dollars you already own become less valuable.
You work harder. You save more. Your purchasing power still gets diluted.
Then you call Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme.
The irony is almost impossible to miss.
Reaching wealth milestones in 2026:
$100k: If I hit $1M I'm set.
$1M: If I hit $3M I'm set.
$3M: If I hit $5M I'm set.
$5M: Inflation is crazy, I need $10M.
The goalposts move because our own situation becomes normalized.
What’s your number?
🇺🇸 U.S. national debt hits $40T. What's the secret to keeping the borrowing going?
💵 U.S. financial hegemony.
💰 Borrow new money to pay the old bills & kick the can down the road -- sounds like a perfect plan.
🌍 But what if the can hits others? And how long can it keep rolling?
US National Debt just hit $40 Trillion
It took us 90 days to add another trillion from $39T
From $38T to $39T in 210 days.
The more debt we have, the less valuable your money becomes, a.k.a. the higher cost of living
The system is making you poorer, by design
So friedrich nietzsche has a quote, and it's arguably one of the most brilliant things I've ever heard. And I think you need to hear it. It goes like this, "most people do not think, they repeat, they adopt the opinions of those around them, wear them like borrowed clothes and call it a worldview. And when you dare to think for yourself, really think, they will not admire you for it, they will resent you because your refusal to conform is a mirror they did not ask to look into. The unexamined man does not hate you because you are wrong. He hates you because somewhere beneath the noise he suspects you might be right."
