For me…take out food was a big one.
One of the big unexpected changes I made was starting to cook more. Now I rarely eat out, and I usually feel like shit afterwards if I do lol.

Video games and unnecessary tech related stuff. 😄
Same on video games
Stopped paying rent. So many Bitcoin paid to landlords over the years! Real estate "as investment" is still a shitcoin.
But Sovereign Man owns his primary residence because he's building a multi-generational citadel. Also, most landlords would not consent to converting the property's heating system to run on ASICs exhaust. Doing the water heater next.
But now I have to pay property taxes which are used to fund public schools. Sovereign man does not approve.
I think property taxes are the only form of taxation that is moral. Income tax is a form of enslavement. Sales tax is suppression of freedom of expression. According to John Locke, natural resources become yours by mixing them with your labor, with the caveat that you taking possession does not preclude other people from taking possession of other resources. Since land is inherently finite, but we also want it to be held by the people who will use it most productively (as opposed to redistributing it equally), I would say a tax on it is fair, moral and just.
property taxes are the rent they charge until they take your land from you.
At least with income tax, I can get tax credit offsets by donating to 501c3 orgs that I actually want to support. Most of my property taxes go towards supporting the local schools even tho I have never, and likely will never, use them. Furthermore, USA schools are falling behind the rest of the world. In most industries, worse performance leads to less profits to fund operation. But in this case, schools just get more funding for poor performance.
Haircuts. I haven’t gotten a haircut in 4 years. My wife does trim it for me every 6 months or so though.
I give myself a buzz now, it's great. Also just like having short hair after years of messing with unruly hair
Same @ buzz.
yes cut myself since covid
Cigarettes \o/
Take out and snacks/junk food is a big one as I've generally been increasingly interested in improving my health after getting a much lower time preference. That's one of the most important things I got out of reading Saifedean's The Bitcoin Standard book.
Bitcoin

Teach how to earn bitcoin
S&P 500

Shitcoins
tbh I've only spent more money and reached for more conveniences but mostly to allow myself to work more.
I came to bitcoin as a very low time preference person - eating out only once per week, not using central heating or air, shopping for clothes and furnishings at thrift stores, buying the majority of my food using coupons/sales, staying in my college town after graduating, and renting the same home I lived in during college.
My current lifestyle has ~3x more burn than it did before bitcoin.
