Heat and Thermodynamics • Your body doesn’t create heat; it preserves it. Jackets, homes, and insulation are about minimizing heat loss, not generating warmth. • The best way to stay warm? Seal the drafts, layer up with Uniqlo HeatTech and merino wool, and focus on preserving what you already have. 2. Life is About Delegation • Focus on what you’re insanely good at—your Archimedes lever. • Don’t waste time fixing houses or on maintenance. Outsource it. Let others do what they’re good at while you stay in your zone of genius. 3. Bitcoin is Ethical Money • Bitcoin doesn’t need PR teams, leaders, or marketing—it’s pure, decentralized, and immaculate. • Unlike Dogecoin or Ethereum, it doesn’t rely on celebrity hype or false prophets. Bitcoin is the Tesla of money: innovative and unstoppable. 4. Bitcoin is the New iPhone • In the early iPhone days, no one knew its potential. Same with Bitcoin now. It’s the beginning of a massive aftermarket boom, like iPhone accessories but for finance. 5. There’s No Second Best • In crypto, it’s Bitcoin or nothing. Ethereum, Dogecoin, or any altcoin? They’re like Pepsi or Burger King—nobody really wants them. Bitcoin is Coca-Cola, Nike, McDonald’s. 6. Bitcoin Equals Financial Freedom • Growing up poor, financial independence became the ultimate virtue. Bitcoin is a tool for liberation. • Just like clean water and fresh air, Bitcoin represents access to true economic health. 7. Bitcoin as Property and Cash • Owning Bitcoin is like owning a single-family home in Culver City but infinitely scalable. • It’s digital property and liquid cash at the same time—unmatched in versatility. 8. Exponential Growth is Unstoppable • You can’t stop Bitcoin’s rise—it’s like early Facebook or Tesla’s ascent. • BlackRock and ETFs are pouring in. Governments are noticing. This is the beginning of a financial paradigm shift. 9. Revolutionizing Society • Imagine living in the back of the train eating bugs, or moving to the front for ribeye and sushi—that’s Bitcoin. • It’s a chance to move from economic slavery to freedom, from drinking sewer water to fresh springs. 10. Why Bitcoin Matters • It’s the antidote to poverty, financial despair, and economic inequality. • Bitcoin is not just money; it’s ethics, philosophy, and the foundation for a better future. This is the Year Zero of Bitcoin. We’re witnessing history in real time, and it’s only the beginning. Stay focused. Stay strong. Bitcoin is life.
