Every time someone says "bitcoin has no intrinsic value," ask them: What's the intrinsic value of a promise from a government’s $38 trillion in debt?

Traditional portfolio advice: own stocks, bonds, real estate, gold. Translation: stay diversified across instruments controlled or influenced by the same centralized system. That's not diversification. That's multiple doors into the same corrupt house.

Faith without action is dead. And if you believe God calls you to steward resources wisely, but you're parking generational wealth in instruments designed to devalue, there's a disconnect. Faithful stewardship requires understanding the tools you're using.

2026 Mantra: Stack sats. Pray more. Hug your kids. Ignore the noise. The signal has never been clearer.

True wealth has 4 parts: - Spiritual peace. - Physical health. - Time with family. - Hard money in cold storage. If you’re missing one, you’re not rich yet.

The most expensive mistake you can make? Winning at the office but losing at home. Your kids won’t remember your ROI or your "exit" strategy. They’ll remember if you were there for dinner and how you set them up to improve the bloodline.

Above all else in 2026: Trust God. Tell the truth. Protect your family. Own your time. Everything else is noise.

In 2025, my wife and I decided to start homeschooling. That decision came with a lot of opinions. “Won’t they miss out socially?” “What about structure, standards, college?” What most people don’t realize is that the traditional education system isn’t optimized for learning, it’s optimized for scale, compliance, and corporate hell. Homeschooling flips that. Kids learn faster because they’re not dragged at the pace of the slowest in the classroom and because curiosity isn’t punished. They develop agency because learning becomes something they own, not something done to them. There’s more time for deep focus, more room for real-world skills. More space for values, faith, and critical thinking to actually take place. Education shouldn’t be about memorizing answers, it should be about learning how to think. The intentionality we have with homeschooling gives our kids an edge. And in a world that increasingly rewards independent thinkers, that matters more than ever.

High time preference destroys nations before it destroys balance sheets. But it also destroys families. And what I love about bitcoin is that it trains you to think in decades, which is EXACTLY how a good father should think.

You know what’s interesting? Non-custodial systems remove counterparty risk by design. Custodial platforms add it back for convenience.  That difference will be the most important distinction between bitcoin platforms over the next 10 years.
