Benjamin@BenjaminPyle·
In November 2024, I became a father for the first time. It was the most powerful moment of my life— and also the moment I started worrying about the world my son would inherit. Political polarization. Runaway government debt. Ecosystem stress. AI becoming our overlord… It felt like the culture was fraying at the edges. And even though I had reached financial independence through index funds, I found myself asking a hard question: “Will I be able to support my family in the future?” The fear was real. I didn’t want my son growing up in a world that felt worse than the one I grew up in. So I went searching for answers. That’s when I came across the work of Lyn Alden—an investment analyst whose research led me straight into Bitcoin. I learned that the first crypto currency isn’t just a speculative asset. It’s sound money built on a decentralized protocol. It’s finite. It’s neutral. And no government or institution can manipulate it. In plain English: It’s better money. And it gives people hope. And on top of that, it’s one of the best investment opportunities in history. I got hooked. I “went down the Bitcoin rabbit hole” as they say. I read, studied, and eventually reallocated my time, energy, and capital toward Bitcoin. Today, I’m a Bitcoiner. I’m building a local Bitcoin community in Central Florida. And I help people on the financial independence path understand how Bitcoin can fit into their long-term plan. Bitcoin won’t fix everything. But it fixes a lot. And it gave me something I didn’t expect: It turned fear into hope.

Summer plans really taking shape now. Allow the labor force of the future to work 24/7 on compounding my capital via Nebius Token Factory. Meanwhile... - Europoor-max on French Atlantic and Greek islands - Daily coastal trail runs + salt water cove plunge - Strenuous hikes in Swiss Alps in between Blistering levels of vitamin D. Kamado cooking with Fred Again / Piero Piccioni on repeat (depending on mood) Campari Spritz. Capital allocation is a small piece of the puzzle. Time allocation pays the real dividends. Going to be in the ground one day and I will not be thinking about my portfolio in my final moments. Camera roll > Portfolio

Finally got a chance to listen to this awesome @PeterMcCormack podcast, where @LynAldenContact gives an absolute masterclass on money, exactly what is going on with central banks and bonds, and where our debt-laden system is ultimately, and undeniably, headed. Cannot recommend this one enough. Bookmark or go listen now. youtube.com/watch?v=NUaNrR…

Most people want a guaranteed 11.5% return than a 21% CAGR that is a roller coaster.

I hear you, but lets slow down. No where did I say the only way people can find themselves is by not working. Im saying what the experience is like when you remove work and have a lot of time on your hands. For what its worth I dont believe work is positive or negative. It's just an activity.

Failing to Convince Anyone in Real Life to FIRE Despite Big Gains financialsamurai.com/failing-to-con… I've been writing about #FIRE since 2009 and believe it's one of the best ways to live your life, not just financially, but as a human being with limited time on this planet. For years the message felt like it was landing. But recently something has shifted. Despite one of the greatest bull runs in history handing people life-changing gains, I can't convince a single person in my real life to actually break free. Not one. Why choose more money you don't need over your health, happiness, kids, and family? I'm genuinely perplexed and could use your help figuring out why you're still grinding so hard when you don't have to.

@DadisFIRE @financialsamura I wouldn’t be on board with that framing, personally. It frames work as inherently negative. People can find out who they are while working, or running a business can’t they?

Whats sad to me is I think most people think their identity is work. When work is removed they are forced to find out who they really are. ......and for us adults, thats hard.....no matter how awesome we are. Its also beautiful to be in a position to introspect and explore your own identity, instead of being distracted by work.

Bitcoin around $80k feels very different depending on when you bought. If you were stacking years ago, it still looks absurdly high. If you bought the ETF top, it feels like punishment. Same asset. Same network. Completely different psychology. That’s the part FIRE people need to respect. Volatility is not just a price chart problem. It is a behavior problem. Fundamentals improve while your portfolio looks worse. ETFs are live, corporate treasuries keep adding, nation states circle the asset, debt and deficits scream the thesis louder… and your screen can still be red. That gap is where conviction gets tested. Bull markets make everyone feel disciplined. Bearish stretches reveal whether you own bitcoin because you understand it, or because you expected a clean line up and to the right. For FIRE BTC, the question is not “did bitcoin go down this month?” The question is: are you still building the stack that gives your future self more options? If the answer is yes, the ugly days are not a distraction from the plan. They are part of the plan.

Bitcoin has existed under three Fed chairs before Warsh: Bernanke, Yellen, Powell. Bitcoin was sub $1000 and a science project during most of Bernanke’s tenure. Imagine thinking this is good analysis. 😝

I'm beginning to see the desire for privacy and self sovereignty as rich person concerns. When I talk to the average American where I live in FL, stuff like gasoline price, cost of flights and food is top of their mind. They don't need CoinJoin, they need economic stability. It's kinda like the well off caring the most about regenerative farming and organic food, and the average person just buying the cheaper apple. So, my speculation for more retail coming to Bitcoin directly is number go up. That's what touches their top-of-mind need.

Started running an Alpha Picks portfolio in a Roth IRA. It's a service offered by @SeekingAlpha. Goal is capital appreciation, and I don't have any capital gains to worry about. They have a good track record last 4 yrs. S&P - 95% Alpha Picks - 401% 🔥
