Blessed

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.

@DaxxTrader When do you expect we will top? 2027?

The narrative is starting to spread.... been talking about this since last year... Macro is turning bullish just as everyone is expecting an 80% correction over 12 months.... Very different situation right now to the 2022 bear flag which topped out just as QT began... The economy has been in a bear market since 2021.

@DaxxTrader Did you call the top this time as you have been saying in previous cycle ?

ISM showing this as well. The new cycle has only just begun.

@DaxxTrader Did you call the top this cycle like you did the last cycle ?

BTC rejecting off the 2024 range high again here. until we clear this level and flip to support the obvious structure is a bear flag, this looks like it wants to break down tbh The obvious entry would be to load up anything under 50k is a gift imo But the one thing all professional traders are really waiting for is a change of the basic trend, higher highs and higher lows... Most people over look this.

The story of Easter isn’t just about what happened thousands of years ago. It’s about what’s possible for you right now. Jesus was beaten, broken, and buried. It looked like the end. No hope. No future. And then three days later… everything changed. That’s the message. No matter how far gone things feel No matter how heavy life gets No matter how stuck you think you are It is never the end. You can rebuild. You can start again. You can rise. Fresh starts are always available to those willing to take them. Today is a reminder. You’re not done yet. Happy Easter everyone!

@metrotrains When will train service resume ?

⚠️Cranbourne / Pakenham lines: Buses replacing trains between Dandenong and Oakleigh due to confirmed vandalism in the Yarraman area. Check metrotrains.com.au for additional information. Allow extra travel time. Check information displays and listen for announcements.

@PostyXBT Why not Man United Theme Haha

gm it’s my sons 1st birthday party today wild how fast time flies with a little one of course it’s golf themed. Currently finishing the final touches on the Masters style Little Tike golf buggy that I sprayed this week ⛳️

@SiamKidd You said Tao will go to $10k it’s far from it

Let's go Barry!

@nicrypto Nic you need to stop asking questions all the time and actually have the courage to make a call or stand

So it begins. AI isn’t just lifting tech stocks anymore. It is starting to pressure them. Nasdaq futures slip as investors pull back from the biggest AI winners. Fund managers admit the spending might have gotten a little ahead of itself. And now I’m reading strategists go industry by industry asking a simple question: If AI starts cutting into profits, who’s still standing? The fact that this is even happening is blowing my mind. First came the euphoria. Then the spending boom. Now comes the audit. And, keep this in mind - this auditing doesn't stop with tech. It includes anyone whose edge was labour, pricing power or some distribution angle they thought would protect them. When markets start pulling apart every industry like this, you know something’s gonna give. What industry are you in, and are you worried at all?

@JamesPelton18 Do you actually make sales though ?

I automated my Shopify store to make sales while I sleep. Here's the exact 3-flow email system I use (and how you can set it up in under an hour):

@DaxxTrader Hey Daxx. Do you think we topped in Oct 2025 and now we are in a bear phase ?

What will they Fud now?

@CryptoCurrentYT You changed your base case at least twice

$BTC continues to follow our base case.

Talking to a single dad this morning, recently separated He’s been renting a townhouse while the division of assets get finalised with the ex - this stuff can really drag out particularly if family lawyers get their way He’s been given notice now the owner of the townhouse he’s been renting is moving back in So off to search for another rental or a place to buy, competing with hundreds of thousands of additional people that this govt continues to import at pace and with no remorse This govt has absolutely sold people like this out in their time of need… They should be held to account

@DrShayanSen After reading it I still do not get it - what’s the solution?

@OfficialTravlad Cool thanks

Dismissing your wife’s “mental load” as fake is basically saying: “I wish you were a man, and I’m annoyed that you’re not.” That’s not strength. It’s a quiet form of misogyny. People who say mental load is nonsense usually imagine this: “Everyone’s tired. Life is hard. She just needs to be more organised and stop whining.” They’re missing 3 things: 1. Sex differences 2. How the brain works under chronic stress 3. What a wife is already doing for the household that nobody sees Here's why these matter more than you realise. Men and women are not the same nervous system in different bodies On average, women are: - Higher in trait anxiety - More tuned into social and emotional cues - More affected by chronic, low-grade stress - In need of more sleep than men (and usually get less) In a typical family, the wife is: - Tracking the kids’ emotions - Remembering appointments, forms, birthdays, gifts - Watching who’s slipping at school or melting down emotionally - Managing meals, laundry, clothes, cleaning, social calendar, in-laws, logistics Even when she’s sitting still, her brain is spinning. That invisible spinning is mental load. It’s not “she thinks too much.” It’s “she carries constant responsibility for 100 moving parts at once.” If you treat her like a man with a man’s hormones and stress response, you’re not being rational. You’re refusing to adapt to reality. What mental load feels like from the inside A lot of husbands genuinely don’t get it. She wakes up already thinking: What’s for breakfast? Is there enough milk? Did I sign that form? Who’s doing pickup? What are we doing this weekend? Did I reply to that message? When can I book the dentist? Are we out of detergent? Why is the 3-year-old suddenly so clingy? None of that is a dramatic emergency. That’s the point. It’s constant low-grade vigilance. Add: - Sleep deprivation - Being touched all day by small children - Guilt about not being “on top of things” - Bracing for criticism if something is forgotten By the time you say, “Hey, we never have sex anymore,” her body isn’t thinking, “Erotic opportunity.” It’s thinking, “Everyone wants more from me and I’m already failing.” That’s not just a libido issue. It’s a system issue. “Just be more organised” = “Be like me or you’re wrong” Very male mistake: “If she used a better calendar and planned her week properly, she’d be fine.” What you’re really saying is: “Use the strategies that work for my brain, in my body, with my stress load — or you’re defective.” She’s not defective. She’s running: - Different hormones - Different social wiring - Different level of chronic sensory/emotional input - Less protected, uninterrupted time than you Mocking mental load is ugly because it sends this message: “If you can’t carry what I’d carry, you’re weak.” That’s not logic. It’s arrogance in rational dress. How husbands accidentally make it worse Common behaviours that quietly pour petrol on the fire: - Asking what’s for dinner instead of deciding and cooking - Saying “just remind me” (she’s now project manager and worker) - Leaving most kid logistics to her - Dumping all emotional processing on her at the end of the day - Wanting deep emotional talks at 10:30pm when she’s fried - Treating her overwhelm as criticism instead of distress - Judging her need for rest as laziness instead of biology Then wondering why she’s cold, snappy, withdrawn. She cannot relax around you if she’s always the safety net. If she can’t relax around you, she can’t desire you. What actually helps (and yes, it’s masculine) To reduce her mental load, you don’t: - Give her another planner - Send her inspirational reels - Tell her to be more grateful You take ownership. 💪Own entire domains, not random tasks Instead of “tell me what to do,” say things like: “From now on I handle bedtime.” “I handle all car maintenance.” “I handle all kids’ medical/dental appointments.” Then actually run those from start to finish without being reminded. 💪Make decisions and execute “We’re having pasta and salad tonight. I’ll cook.” “Saturday morning I’m taking the kids out so you can rest.” “The car is booked in on Wednesday; I’ll take it.” Every decision you absorb is one less plate spinning in her head. 💪Give her real off-duty time Not 10 minutes hiding in the bathroom while still listening for crying. Actual off-duty: - You run the house for a block of time - She doesn’t have to think about anything - Nobody asks her where anything is When she trusts your competence, her nervous system starts to stand down. That shift from “always braced” to “I can exhale” is where warmth and desire live. 💪Stop using her as your only emotional outlet She wants to know you. She cannot be your therapist when she’s drowning. Trade: “I need you to process all my anxieties” for: “I know you’re carrying a lot. I’m going to process some of this elsewhere and only bring you the important parts.” You’re not shutting her out. You’re protecting her bandwidth. “Isn’t this just coddling?” No. It’s acknowledging: - Real sex differences - Different stress profiles - The reality that she already holds the majority of invisible emotional and logistical labour It’s not worshipping her feelings. It’s engineering your household so: - She isn’t running at redline - You’re not dependent on her to manage everything - Your kids don’t watch their mother slowly collapse while their father says, “She’s just stressed” That’s leadership. Why this matters for love and sex You can’t bully a nervous system into desire. You can’t logic a flooded brain into “just relax”. You can’t insult your way into intimacy by calling mental load nonsense. If you want a softer wife, build her a softer landing: Fewer demands Fewer decisions Fewer “can you just…?” More “I’ve got this” More “you can rest” More “I see how much you carry, and I’m going to shoulder more” Not because she’s weak. Because you’re her husband. That’s ordered charity. That’s masculine responsibility. If your first instinct is to mock mental load, ask yourself: Am I being rational? Or am I just angry that my wife isn’t a man? (Follow-up post below on how ADHD turns all this up to 11 because around 5% of women have it.)

@Peter_thoc You mentioned in one of your videos you will exit crypto end of 2025 did you admit you were wrong?

WTF is there to 'Understand' about the 4 year cycle? Other than it lasted for 4 years.... Well here's what i understand about the 4 year cycle (which played out 2 times in the last 3 crypto bull markets.) 1). The cycle went up down and then up during a 4 year window because of Quantitive tightening (bear market) and quantitative easing (bull market) not because of the calendar.... 2). Quantitative easing started because of economic stress and because the US had to refinance it's debt.. This is due to happen in 2026.. to the tune of $trillions of dollars. During covid excess cash was printed during the economic downturn, this meant $2.55tn was parked in the fed's repo market. This ran dry in October for first time causing end of year crypto dump. Now liquidity is returning through money printing which is what is causing crypto to begin its rise once more. 3). The bitcoin halving coincided with the 4 year cycle. It was never the main driver of the cycles.. 4). shush your mouth

@nicrypto Instead of asking questions most of the time I reckon you should be brave enough to make a call

Bitcoin touches $94K. It’s been a while. Now that it’s happened, what’s a reasonable expectation from here? Flows are back, downside keeps getting bought, and every dip is shorter than the last. If this level holds, resistance fades and the focus shifts to where the next leg tops out. Is this pump the one?
