Binging Netflix…consuming instead of building

Using food delivery apps.

Grubhub

I once had a dream where I took a shit, and out came paper money with grub worms eating away at it.

Only the grub worms were left with the money gone.

I guess my subconscious was trying to say Grubhub was eating away at my earnings? All I had to show for it was shitting out the food I got from Grubhub?

Getting stuck on my phone scrolling for too long. Can be hard to kick social media addictions sometimes.

sugar

I’m starting to think of value in terms of sats but can’t seem to break out of the habit of noticing the equivalent fiat value

An example: 10. 8/2/2024 - Wife needed to do overtime work today, so this meant that I had to whip out my sats to buy a $11 worth of food takeout voucher from Bitrefill. Thank goodness I have been posting consistently on Stacker News. Earned 182 sats as cashback.

Should have noted how many sats I spent on getting the gift card instead! ☝️

Vaping

How are using food apps, watching Netflix, vaping, etc fiat habits? They might be bad habits, but what does it have to do with using Bitcoin or not? Are Bitcoiners supposed to be monks who do nothing but "stack sats" and live an "enlightened" life? Using Bitcoin does not change you as a human, you'll still have many of the same flaws as before. If you can't address them in a fiat world, why would you be able to address them in a bitcoin world?

“I am a sovereign individual 🤓 ” — lives like this guy

(But speaking seriously, all procrastination is a fiat habit and I still catch myself doing it too often)

Beer 🍻

Credit card reward points for travel (would love a credit card that offered sats back instead)

In Dolly Parton’s infamous song working 9 to 5

Putting 3% into a 401k just because my boss matches it

Looking at my phone as soon as I wake up. Procrastinating... Seeing the BTC/FIAT price and swearing, I still have too much stacking to do 🤣

Junk food

Using Google, phone, email and other Auth services, instead of simply using Lightning or Nostr.

Watching sports and eating ice cream after my family has gone to bed.

I don't eat ice cream every night but when I do, I hit it hard.

Why have you dragged this darkness out of me?

Investing in Uranium junior miner equities. The setup is just too good.

beer, smoke, junk food (sugar things, chips, soft drinks...), loan (house, car...)

Dating the disillusioned mothers of Bitcoin stackers.

Health Saving Account (HSA) it’s the devil tripple tax advantage not taxed going in, not taxed on investment gains, not taxed coming out!

Buying Bitcoin and only Bitcoin.

Potato Chips... (but it's under control)

Thinking and spending on Fiat, I need to change that and work more on mastering the new setup, just thinking, managing, budgeting and spending on sats.

Stay up past my bedtime to scroll on Twitter
