2025, the year I graduated. The year I also realized the papers I earned wasn’t the promise I was sold. The year I understood college was breeding me into an obedient employee. The year I decided I didn’t want to climb a corporate ladder to feed this greedy machine. The year I realized compliance was never my calling. The year I found a community that actually builds instead of waits; a community that isn’t just about money. The year I decided I don’t just want to observe this mission, but push it forward. The year I learned you don’t need permission or a title. The year I learned you can just do things. The year I felt God’s presence more clearly than ever before. To 2025, you were chaotic, uncomfortable, and unexpectedly life-changing.

Parents working two jobs. Students drowning in debt. Kids watching life get tighter every year. This is the human cost of 118% debt and a 6.2% deficit. You can’t outwork money that’s engineered to lose value, and when a system relies on debasement to function, the alternative must be incorruptible. @StayBolted

I always wanted to be a marine biologist as a kid. Most people today know I love Bitcoin, business, and finance…but almost nobody knows that my first real love was the ocean. This hoodie was from the first business I ever started, an ocean-protection merch brand I built in high school to merge my love for the ocean and entrepreneurship. But here’s the part that still hits me: I gave up on marine biology in 6th grade. At 12 years old, I decided I couldn’t do the thing I loved because the salary would never sustain a life. Twelve. Before you even know who you are, you’re already optimizing for survival instead of passion. That’s what fiat does. It forces people, kids, to make choices based on paychecks, not purpose. It pushes entire generations into careers they don’t love because debt is massive, everything is too expensive, and “follow your passion” has become a luxury. And this is why Bitcoin matters. Because a sound money future gives people room to choose work they care about. To stop trading their purpose for a paycheck. In another world, a sound-money world, maybe I’m a marine biologist. In this one, I’m building toward a future where the next 12 year old doesn’t have to give up what they love just to survive. That’s the beauty of Bitcoin.

Mandami won because people are struggling. When the economy breaks and people are priced out of their own city, they’ll vote for ANYTHING that looks like relief. The issue isn’t left vs right, it’s the money. The system. That’s why Bitcoin matters. NYC isn’t done. This city rebuilds itself again and again.

I’m someone’s future wife, so no, I don’t wear revealing Halloween costumes. I’m someone’s future wife, so no, I don’t go to clubs. I’m someone’s future wife, so no, I don’t drink and get wasted. I’m someone’s future wife, so yes, I aim to choose growth over comfort. I’m someone’s future wife, so yes, I face my flaws and I hold myself accountable, even when it’s hard. I’m someone’s future wife, so yes, I pour into my passions, protect my peace, and grow into the woman a strong man prays for. Because in the end, it’s not just about finding the right person, it’s about becoming the kind of person you’d want to be with.

Bitcoin drops to $114K and everyone’s acting like the world’s ending. This day last year it was $60K. Zoom out. This isn’t pain. This is what winning looks like.

$158K for a tiny shack in Texas. Boomers buying their 4th rental property while Gen Z gets told: “Here’s your shot at homeownership… a 661 sq ft tiny home. Just work harder.” This is ridiculous. The gov prints, you get wrecked!! Bitcoin fixes this.

In 1971, the obesity rate was roughly 15%. Today, it’s over 40%. When we left the gold standard, corporations started chasing cheapness. Ultra-processed, subsidized junk food became the norm because it was profitable. Food quality became driven by margins, not health. Fake money = fake food Sound money restores sound incentives, which rebuilds sound health. Fix the money. Fix the food. Fix the world.

There’s nothing I want more than to become a mother one day. For the first time, I feel hope that it’s possible. Because Bitcoin isn’t just money. It’s a discipline. It shapes men who are patient, principled, and worthy of building families with. A fiat world creates weak men. Men chasing instant gratification, trapped in debt, and distracted by sports, nightlife, and women on a screen. Fiat men chase fleeting pleasures. Bitcoin men learn discipline, responsibility, and leadership. When men learn these things, motherhood becomes a choice, not a gamble. Bitcoin doesn’t just create wealth. It creates men who can be trusted, strong husbands, and present fathers. This is my thesis: the more Bitcoin grows, the more women will want to become mothers. (Not my child, my sweet little niece)

You learn about Bitcoin, and suddenly: – History makes more sense. Wars and recessions start tracing back to broken money. – Inflation makes you angry. You realize prices didn’t rise, your dollar debased. – And money stops being “just money.” It becomes the root layer of trust, time, and freedom. Bitcoin isn’t just tech. It’s a revelation.
