My grandmother is coming up on 90 and she’s been following Bitcoin for the last 5-10 years, texting me the price when it makes new all time highs, celebrating with me. She has a token amount on an opendime but she was asking me all kinds of questions about how to buy bitcoin and how people spend it and how I fund my lifestyle with bitcoin. I finally got her setup with a blink wallet, nanny@bitcoin.sv Then we randomly came up with an idea to sell her socks for sats 😂 She makes sought after socks 🧦, the family always fights over them. She makes them and donated them to the local library. She’s taking orders!

Here’s a heads-up you’ll thank me for later. @I)ruid, a legendary Bitcoin OG and game designer (also a backer of TVP, a top Bitcoin venture fund), has launched Bitcoin CCG, a new Bitcoin collectible card game. Druidian was among the first to mine Bitcoin alongside Satoshi and is passionate about digital art and collectibles. Right now, he’s crowdfunding Series 1 on @Geyser, and you can grab it at a great price. I recommend snagging a Booster Pack Box for ~$160 (165k sats):

Geyser | Bitcoin Crowdfunding Platform

A Bitcoin crowdfunding platform where creators raise funds for causes, sell products, manage campaigns, and engage with their community.

Similar Bitcoin collectibles that I’ve backed have been worth parting with the sats - either they go up in value or they promote bitcoin culture and support bitcoiner job creation. Don’t sleep on this one =P

I'm scaling up a media company, POW Media. I'm focused on making viral inspirational, educational & entertaining content about Bitcoin. We have a media team and a revenue team. I'm going to be hiring people who will be in the client success side, revenue/sales, media & leadership roles. I'm bitcoin-only and focused on the mission of getting 1 million people to setup a bitcoin savings plan and getting 10,000 wholecoiners taking self custody of at least 1 BTC. I'm not going to be able to recruit exclusively Bitcoin maximalists, so I wonder how founders of bitcoin-only companies deal with the topic of employees posting about crypto/non-bitcoin stuff. I don't want to be "censoring" my employees but I also don't want entropy in the signal that I’m broadcasting (Bitcoin-only.) For bitcoin founders … do you make it a non-negotiable that employees can't talk about crypto or any other topics publicly? If so how do you enforce that? If not, what’s the strategy? Feel free to DM me if you don’t want to post publicly.

If Bitcoin is digital property and Bitcoiners are becoming autonomous/sovereign individuals, the historical analogy of being paid in Bitcoin for services lines up with pledging allegiance to a nobleman / Lord or Baron & getting a land grant as a fief. Vassals would receive land grants as a reward for loyalty, but it wasn't that they owned the land, they could use it. The noble retained the rights to the property & could reclaim it on disloyalty or death. Eventually the descendants of vassals could inherit the land but they would still have to pay homage & fealty to the lord/nobleman to keep it. Vassals of a lord/baron were expected to do things such as accompany them on travel as an entourage, give them counsel on legal matters, fight with them in battle (or hire a mercenary) & let the lord & his servants use their accommodations when required. With bitcoin lending & miniscript maturing, this could actually come to fruition a lot sooner than we think. Imagine giving a fiefdom of 1 BTC to a vassal of your citadel where you are using a composable miniscript multisig setup that allows for your vassal to borrow against the BTC and "work his digital property" ... but the even of disloyalty (he doesn't pay back the loan) or death, the BTC comes back into your treasury. For viceroys, castellans or other direct reports declare allegiance to your digital citadel, a blockchain property grant of X BTC could be created as a reward to demonstrate your trust & support, or if you want it to be earned it could take the form of a decaying multisig that decays to just a single sig or multisig that is in their control after X time of proving loyalty.

1) Proof of Work is for Your personal life as well. Shoot for at least 45 mins of exercise every day & get your fitness & nutrition on point to be the lighthouse not the tugboat. 2) schedule date nights with your wife and do things she wants to do, help her dream. 3) schedule family meetings with your whole family once a week and focus on positivity & supporting them. 4) buy bitcoin and put at least 50% of your net worth into cold storage multisig that you won’t spend for at least 10 years. Unless you can beat 60% CAGR you don’t ever take from this bucket. 5) hire an executive assistant and house manager to help you manage your own life and requests from relatives and business endeavors. 6) no easy money lending to family or friends, bad precedent to set - maybe invest small amounts in their businesses if they have what it takes or small grants for them to do something productive in business, art, education or for their health. Invest in therapy for family members and match their BTC purchases to encourage them to save. 7) Read Dan Martell’s book Buy Back Your Time.
