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.

My beloved children, There are moments that define the course of history. Not because they shock us, but because they reveal the battlefield. The creation of Bitcoin was one such moment.

School teaches children how to wait in line, how to listen to authority, how to follow the rules and outdated subjects.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…

You’ll only see your parents a few more times. Remember: It’s later than you think. Most people don’t care about you. This is liberating. Most of your friends are not your friends. They’re just along for the ride when it’s profitable, fun, or convenient. Focus on family, and depth within a closed-knit circle rather than a…

Go to the right school, study the right thing, wear the right costume, and you too can make a few hundred thousand dollars a year using basic Excel…
