This is a living archive of my thoughts, experiences, and hard-earned insights, drawn from an unusual life. Here you’ll find reflections on the food I’ve eaten, the things I’ve bought, the people I’ve encountered, the places I’ve seen, the books I’ve read, the quotes I’ve kept, and the trends I’ve spotted and capitalized on.
I write this for you, my children, those already here and those yet to come. Daddy loves you more than words can hold. I want each of you to live lives you’re proud of. This is my thinking, in my own voice, left here for you to explore. I hope one day it proves useful.
If, by some unlikely chance, I’m gone before I can guide you in person, let this stand as a poor substitute. But in the more likely case that I’m still here, let this serve as an intellectual archive, a record that I held these convictions long before you were born. May that give weight to my words, and credibility to the wisdom I hope to pass on to you.

There is a largely overlooked risk in the cryptocurrency space that stems from the way most non-Bitcoin assets are structured. Unlike Bitcoin, where control is determined by external resource expenditure through mining, many altcoins concentrate control in the token supply itself. This creates a long-term centralization vector that is rarely acknowledged. In Bitcoin, owning coins…
There was a time, not so long ago, when the shaping of a child’s character was seen as a sacred duty. The family was the primary site of moral development, emotional regulation, and behavioral learning. If a child misbehaved, the mirror turned first toward the home, the parents, the example set. But today, we live…
School teaches children how to wait in line, how to listen to authority, how to follow the rules and outdated subjects. Thus a parent should teach their child how to story tell/narrate, manage personal finances, develop mental models, critically think, sell stuff, and that there are no rules. It’s easier to grow strong children than…
Men are happiest when making money, owning businesses, buying land, having a home gym, and building a big family.
As time relentlessly marches on, the future’s divergence from the past becomes inevitable. Previous generations could shape their lives using lessons from the past, which encompassed knowledge about people, nations, currencies, relationships, and a spectrum of emotions. The astute saved time by identifying what to relearn and then explored new territories. However, the less insightful…

For those following a ketogenic diet, cheese is a popular choice due to its low carbohydrate content. However, it’s important to note that while cheese is low in carbs, it can be inflammatory if consumed in…
In our daily lives, we often adhere to basic safety guidelines to mitigate avoidable risks. We avoid smoking, abstain from drunk driving, wear helmets while riding bikes, and secure seatbelts when we’re in vehicles. These guidelines, when religiously followed, can help us eschew preventable causes of death, thereby extending our lifespans. However, humans seldom calculate…
When we delve into the world of trading, we begin to realize that a significant part of it, around 95%, hinges on psychology. There’s a recurring scenario that happens all too often: traders who possess the acuity to pinpoint the absolute bottom of a downturn, investing heavily, yet they falter when the market begins to…
