@ghostweb3 Bought at all time highs because I got excited and seemed like the bull run was starting and going to be so big! Only to see it crash down 70% and wishing I had waited 🤣 then had no line left for the bottom

@XPRNetwork @paulgrey Can you guys fix your web with wallet and add direct links to defi protocols inside the wallet so we don’t have to search them up every time? Thanks! 🙏🏼

XPR Network is fun to use, but built for serious finance.
It’s more than a blockchain.
It’s a decentralized computing network built for the next generation of apps.
⚛️ Launch an NFT collection.
⚛️ Distribute tokens.
⚛️ Build a game.
⚛️ Create something weird.
⚛️ Start from zero.
No gas fees means you don’t need a huge budget just to begin.
And with human-readable @ names instead of long hex addresses, the experience actually feels like it was made for normal people.
But underneath the simple UX is real financial infrastructure: ISO 20022 compatibility, onchain KYC, native multisig, @MetalXApp, @MetalDollarXMD, and the @LOAN_Protocol lending infrastructure.
$XPR is the substrate for apps, agents, creators, communities, markets, and onchain ideas that haven’t even been imagined yet.
Fun to use. Built for serious finance. Zero gas.
That’s @XPRNetwork.

Next month I’m 2 years smoke free, 1 year chewing tobacco free, 31 months free of alcohol.
With a new baby en route, I wanted to reflect on some of what I’ve learned.
If you don’t like long posts, this one isn’t for you…
Changing yourself is not impossible, it’s just hard, uncomfortable, and painful.
I spent the better part of two decades making excuses for my addictions because it was easier than facing the thing in life that I feared most: myself
Drugs and alcohol were never my problem, they were my cure.
I didn’t wake up one day and magically quitting became easy. I held myself accountable, all day, every day until it became easier. And it does. With consistency, your mind and body slowly stop craving.
If I had to describe my life drunk in one word, it would be:
Irresponsible.
If I had to describe my life now in one word, it would be:
Accountable.
I’m aware that one bad decision can destroy everything. Small compromises are symptoms of future mistakes.
I learned that I can’t make people act with integrity. I can’t make life go my way. I can’t make people like or respect me. In all situations I can only control myself and how I choose to, or not to respond.
My peace has come from accepting reality, setting boundaries, and continuing forward regardless of external factors.
Life is painful sober or drunk. The human condition doesn’t disappear. I try my best to live and learn now. I used to just hide from everything.
When I quit alcohol, I had to learn to live as a new person.
You find out fairly quickly that the unhealthy things around you were only surviving because you kept putting your own mental and physical health last.
When I quit chewing tobacco, I craved it almost every minute of every day for months. Thankfully that went away.
Alcohol physical withdrawal was about a week max for me. The mental side lasted longer. The first few months were by far the hardest mentally, but it steadily gets better over time.
I have no issue with people drinking or doing whatever. If someone can handle that recreationally and be fine, more power to them. I can’t.
I’m incredibly grateful to the people who stayed beside me while I changed.
And grateful to God, because after years of lying to myself every day about quitting, I know for a fact I wasn’t alone when I finally did.
Was it worth it? 100%.
Lost 20 pounds.
Blood pressure normal now.
Relationships are healthier.
My physical health is better.
I exercise consistently.
My diet is clean.
My spiritual life is stronger.
I definitely still have a ton of work to do.
I’m grateful today that I can try to continue bettering myself.
I’m grateful I’m having the opportunity to have another kid.
I’m thankful I have the opportunity to write this post. If it impacts even one person who is struggling, I’m grateful for that too.
I know this picture is in front of an entire shelf of alcohol. It’s the best recent picture I had 🤣

If your under 40
Not married. No kids.
Not "IDGAF" rich.
It's a really bad idea. House are expensive and a huge burden. If the markets rough they are super hard to sell.
You are FAR better off doing this.
Take the 500-1,000,000 (Etc amount).
Invest it in boring stuff.
Pay your rent from the dividends of the investments. Same safety net. None of the burden.
Sometimes people make money on their homes.
Often repairs, taxes, fees, etc make it an endless pit of money. If you are young it also locks you down hard.

Considering buying a house for a while now.
Financially I'm not sure whether it's a good investment, but I'd love to have a long-term residence (talking decades).
I also think it gives peace of mind, a place of "FU" for those who know the famous scene from The Gambler.
Curious to hear from those who did buy a house: Do you regret it, or do you still consider it a good decision?
And also curious to hear from people who decided not to buy one or don't plan to (and why)
English

@dom_kwok Yeah, losers do. And it’s become very clear that staying a loser is the real tragedy. As a man we build ourselves and our lives sunto the best version we can. Everyone gets a different starting point, body etc. it’s what you do with that, that matters

@VanderMeerCap I'll probably be forced to delete this and people will say it's AI, but now that this is out in the public, I can share this image:

FACT: RIPPLE DIDN'T CREATE XRP. THE XRP LEDGER WAS ORIGINALLY ESCAVATED IN EGYPT IN 1929, AT THE PARTICULAR TIME THE TECH WAS UNKNOWN.
IN 1977, DAVID SCHWARTZ @JoelKatz DECODED WHAT WE KNOW AS THE XRP LEDGER TODAY.
XRP IS ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY! POSSIBLY LEFT HERE BY AN ALIEN RACE!

@ghostweb3 This bush is the ugliest and corrupt Karen I know of. Just a total dumpster kunt 🤣

@Bird_XRPL Help
My sister and my nephew get into a house where he can grow up happy and healthy.

1 honestly surprised your wife didn’t check your bags before the flight haha.
2: if you feel the need to carry a gun all the time in America? Maybe it’s time to move somewhere else where that’s not needed. Reduce the stress and the fear.
3: I almost got thrown into a Brazilian federal
Prison for a prop Gun I sued as a cosplayer that I had forgotten wa sin my backpack. As it look d real enough and could “be used to hijack a plane” etc. genuine accident, genuinely lucky to gotten through that :)
4: glad you got out of that situation. I’ve learned a lot fork you over the past couple years. Enjoy every day bro 😎🤘🏻

Okay. I'm ready to talk about this.
It was the worst month of my life. Also ironically the greatest blessing god has ever given me.
Last month I was held in the Cayman Islands facing 15 years in prison.
The charge: illegal firearm importation. Here's what happened. More importantly what I learned.
Short answer: no. I haven't been smuggling guns.
In the States I legally carry a gun on me at almost all times for self defense. Part of this is ensuring I am trained.
Hence why I routinely go to the range to shoot. When I do I pack the firearm I intend to use in in a backpack.
Last month I was in a giant rush to make a private flight and didn't fully check my backpack before leaving. In it was a small firearm I missed.
It was discovered when I went through immigration.
At first I assumed I'd just be sent home.
Then my wife did some quick research. She pointed out the minimum sentence for importing a gun is 15 years. The police who showed up confirmed it.
To say I nearly pissed my pants is an understatement.
This was completely my fault. I'm an idiot. The point of this post isn't to blame or complain about anything. The laws there are fair. I'm a grown man capable of checking his bag before flying.
The point is: for three weeks on the island (on bail), I got to take a long hard look at my life.
I've built a high net worth and a company I love, with people I love working with. I have a beautiful wife who is my best friend. I do whatever I want all day every day. My parents are alive and I get to see them almost every week.
Still, despite all this, I often wake up annoyed I haven't done enough with my life. Asking myself "is this it?" In fact I'm pissed half the time, feeling I can do better.
Which is ironic. I made $20,000 a year in the military. If you'd told me then I'd achieve a 9 figure net worth and all the above, I would've assumed I'd consider my life a dream.
The twist truly hit me on the island as I watched everything I worked hard for in my life held at "gunpoint". Pun intended. Everything I worked so hard to get — poof. Didn't matter for shit.
The way the law works there are simple : if you can't prove it was an accident, the minimum is 15 years.
It became glaringly obvious. Not only was I an absolute idiot who couldn't pack his own bag. I'd also become a fool who couldn't enjoy the blessings I already had.
I'd taken all the people in my life and the success totally for granted. Blind. Blind. Blind.
Nothing like a 20-year potential sentence to make you realize: waking up with fun stuff to work on, then chilling on the couch reading with your wife at the end of the day — that's about as good as it gets.
I should be euphoric 24/7.
To go from having it all, to potentially not even having the option to piss and shit when you want — that's a wake up call if there ever was one.
Luckily, the Caymans is a fair place. I was found under exceptional circumstances during my trial. AKA the judge and the courts reviewed the case and agreed it was an accident.
I still love the island. It's probably my favorite place to vacation. Just check your luggage before you go. Ha.
My point is this: be present. Enjoy your life. One day something could happen — even by complete accident — and yoink it all away.
I have so many friends who'll read this and by all definition live a "dream life" — and yet are dissatisfied just like I was. If anything this is the default for most successful men. Not the exception.
I'm writing this to help you stop.
It took god slapping me across the face with my own ignorance to see it. It was painful and scary. Dark.
But honestly, it was the greatest blessing I've ever received. I'm writing this from my office at home, giddy as absolute fuck about my life and everything I have the option to do today.
If anything, I'm sad about how much time I wasted feeling otherwise.
Don't be ignorant and stupid like me. You might not get the blessing of a 15-year prison threat in a foreign country to wake you up.
Wake up. Appreciate what you have now.
