Senior Engineer | Crypto Enthusiast | Exploring the future of finance with Bitcoin and Crypto while navigating the complexities of international politics
Hot take: Universities charge $300,000 for a degree that teaches you skills any LLM can do for free. At some point we need to have an honest conversation about whether higher education is the greatest individuals misallocation of capital in recent history.
It seems just yesterday that I came home from the IPL. Already, Australia's cricketers have gone to Pakistan, England and New Zealand cricketers are playing a Test match and India play one tomorrow. Our world never stops.
People still think (or feel) because Bitcoin is down crypto is down.
Derivatives/perps, stablecoins, prediction markets, etc are all up in crypto.
Crypto touches every area of finance, and is much broader than Bitcoin now. It will take some time for this to sink in.
(And yes - Bitcoin is going to do great and is as important as ever - one of many cycles we've all been through.)
End your shower with cold water this morning.
Just 30 seconds. That is all it takes.
Here is what happens in those 30 seconds...
Norepinephrine spikes up to 300% above baseline. That is your focus, drive, and mood chemical.
Dopamine rises and stays elevated for hours.
Your immune system activates. Your circulation improves. Your mind clears instantly.
30 seconds of discomfort. Hours of benefit.
Most people avoid it because it is uncomfortable. That discomfort is the medicine.
The Average Person
· Doesn't exercise
· Gets 4000 steps a day
· Doesn't get enough sleep
· Sits under fake light all day
· Eats nothing but ultra processed foods
The High Performer
· Does the opposite of the average person
The average person spends over 7 hours a day looking at screens.
That much blue light exposure elevates cortisol, suppresses melatonin, strains your eyes, and keeps your nervous system in a low-level alert state from morning until you try to sleep.
Here are three simple boundaries worth setting today...
1️⃣ No screens for the first 30 minutes after waking
2️⃣ Phone face down during every meal
3️⃣ No screens within 60 minutes of bedtime
You do not have to eliminate technology. Just have to stop letting it run your nervous system. 💪🏻
🚨 What is actually in your tap water??
Most municipal water contains chlorine, chloramine, fluoride, pharmaceutical residue, heavy metals, and in some areas, PFAS chemicals.
These are not scare tactics. They are on public water quality reports you can request from your utility.
✅ A basic carbon filter removes chlorine and many contaminants.
✅ A reverse osmosis system removes the most, including fluoride and PFAS.
✅ Add a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon to remineralize filtered water.
❌ Bottled water in plastic is not the answer. Most is just filtered tap water in a hormone-disrupting container.
Know what you are drinking.

Remove your emotions and answer this question.
Do you think that the bitcoin high is in forever?
If you believe that bitcoin will eventually make new highs, then you currently have the opportunity to buy at a 50% discount to the recent price.
I have spent 20 years studying what actually extends healthy human life.
Here is what the research says over and over again:
1️⃣ Move your body naturally throughout the day, not just in a gym
2️⃣ Eat real, whole food that came from the earth
3️⃣ Sleep 7 to 9 hours in a cool, dark room
4️⃣ Manage your stress before it manages you
5️⃣ Invest in close, meaningful relationships
The fundamentals are not boring. They are the most powerful longevity tools available.
Master them first. 💪🏻
