The dollar is broken.

I don’t need to make millions. I just need enough to pick up my kid at 1 PM on a random Wednesday, while the teachers look at me like thinking I’m either unemployed or a fucking drug dealer. Then grab an ice cream with her and walk down the beach while everyone else is still staring at the clock waiting to go home. That’s my definition of rich. Keep the Lambo. I want my fucking time.

I think one of the most important things to realize sooner rather than later as a father is that having young kids is not the time to be in constant “go, go, go” mode. You don’t need a million projects. You don’t need to spend every waking hour chasing more money. I keep reminding myself that if there’s one season of life I’ll probably wish I could have back, it’s this one. The little kids. Waking up and having them run to you. Going to the pool. Playing. Hearing them laugh. It’s mentally exhausting sometimes, but it’s also one of the most fun seasons of life. I know I’ll never get to revisit this time when it passes. I could spend my entire life working for more money. But eventually, I’d trade almost anything to have these years back. Money matters. But it doesn’t mean nearly as much as we sometimes convince ourselves it does.

Imagine saving Bitcoin your whole life, passing it on to your children, and they become a prodigal son and blow it all within months - Start a family business - Create value continuously - Instill virtue Don’t just pass on sats Pass on systems that preserve sats

Politicians, you can’t fix the fertility crisis with speeches. Fix the money first. Young people aren’t skipping marriage and kids because they’re “progressive.” They’re realizing the American Dream may never come. Rent eats half a paycheck and even a starter home is a fantasy. And the jobs that pay enough to change that are sitting in cities where none of it is affordable anyway. Could you buy a house in the middle of nowhere if you work remote? Sure. But that’s not where the good jobs are. Nobody builds a family under these circumstances. Fix the money, fix the future. - Sincerely, a 24 year old who wants marriage and kids as much as the next person.
