How to create good goals for achieving a life of funded contempt where money and meaning are in balance 👇
--------------------------------
Connection
Humans are social creatures who have a deep sense and desire of belonging. We are all born into a tribe and through our own life experiences discover and build our individual identities
This is our community – Who is in your village?
________________________________
Control
Humans have been given the gift of free will, individual agency, and autonomy. It is in our nature to want freedom and to seek the opportunity to tell the story we want to tell.
These are our objectives – What do you want to achieve?
-----------------------------------
Competence
We humans are technological beings. There’s no idea out there that your mind cannot comprehend given the time and the effort. We seek mastery over something that is important to us. Fulfillment is finding your unique strengths in what you love to do and using those to help others
These are our values – What are you great at?
-------------------------------------
Context
In addition to being technological beings, humans are also spiritual beings and throughout our history we have sought a greater connection with our creator. People who live for and believe in something beyond themselves have more meaningful lives.
This is our purpose – What moral framework do you live by?
A financial plan is only as good as the goals it is trying to achieve.
Superficial and misguided targets can be detrimental to a plans success
Take the time. Think deeply. Ask the hard questions.

$USDT is the 16th-22nd (depending on source) largest buyer of treasuries
As traditional buyers (nation states, banks, etc.) dry up, stablecoins represent a totally new class of buyer at auction
New demand for treasuries = more money printing

We need multiple American ASIC manufacturers desperately 🇺🇸
Chinese ASIC manufacturers currently have well over 50% market share
Great step in the right direction. I hope they can be competitive and make an impact in the #bitcoin mining industry
