Monty Moncrief drilled 29 dry holes before his 30th hit.
Wildcatters were delusional optimists - they believed optimism was a personal quality that nurtures luck.
An oilman simply cannot afford to be timid.
They never felt the need to apologize for big losses because they
I want to produce a kids show to teach the next generations about energy at a young age.
We complain about the public’s energy illiteracy but we’ve done nothing to help educate them.
Oil & Gas is such a weird place.
Half the industry makes $300k+ to do a 20hr/wk job
Half the industry makes $150k to do a 80hr/wk job
And new grads make $0 with no job
Just found another one of my Marines killed himself.
We had a bit of a falling out over the years as it seemed he just became more of an asshole over time.
I wish I had known his lashing out was really a cry for help. Dude had a lot of potential. RIP Devil Dog
The untold story of how we turned a backyard bbq into the best bitcoin mining event in the world.
In December 2021, me and
@FracSlap
wanted to plan a bbq to bring together friends in energy and bitcoin mining.
How hard could a bbq be? So we set a date 8 weeks out.
After
I try to ask my boys every night “what made you happy today?”
They expect the question now and think about it during the day to be prepared to answer.
Now they spend their days looking for things that make them happy.
🇺🇸Memorial Day vs Veterans Day
Memorial Day is to remember those who died in combat.
Veterans Day is for everyone else who served.
Vets tend to feel uneasy when you thank them for their service on Memorial Day.
We don’t wanna take anything away from those who gave all.
Getting into the oil & gas business is tough.
Thankfully for you, we've just made it a lot easier.
Digital Wildcatters is launching our first course on Mastering the Art of Evaluating Oil & Gas Deals.
We've assembled the best in the business to be your instructors.
Like they say, all good things must come to an end.
This may be the end of this chapter, but my story is far from over.
I can't wait to show you guys what's next.
Thanks again for the last 6 years.

Is the idea of a new age type of petroleum/country club for EFT interesting?
We could build a bar, multiple lounges, pool tables, ping pong tables, Xbox’s - what else am I missing?
My wife: What’s this party on the 20th?
Me: 40 anonymous internet friends are coming to our place for a party. Now that I say that out loud - that sounds kinda weird.
We have 30 people registered for the EFT party.
I want to get this finalized today so make sure you’re RSVP’d.
DM me if you need the link.
Lots of good people/accounts going to be in the room.

dropping 💣’s on this week’s Energizing Bitcoin.
We talked about what it means for LevelField Financial to buy a bank, monetizing molecules and the importance of energy to human prosperity.
I saw a dead guy outside of our office this morning.
On my way home, I saw a guy have a complete meltdown. He walked into traffic, stripped down butt naked, and ripped the grill off of an 18 wheeler.
How was your Monday?
I’ve never felt worse.
My 4 year old kicked a soccer ball into a tree. I attempt to climb the tree to get it out.
Limb breaks. Son gets pancaked by me.
A buddy of mine is building an overland rig like and I’m seriously debating doing the same. Apparently there are million of acres in the US you can just offroad across.
Just found out a buddy of mine had an accident is now paralyzed from the neck down.
Great guy with his whole life ahead of him. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Really puts first world problems into perspective and makes me want to just be grateful I get another day.
I’ve never felt more energized to be a part of this space.
We’re lucky to know so many brilliant, hardworking and innovative people that are creating this industry from the ground up.
Thanks to everyone who joined us this year. Huge thanks to all of our exhibitors and
Back in March of this year we're riding with Toby Rice back from one of their wells in Belmont County, Ohio when he randomly asks, "You guys wanna see a farmer who robotized his entire farm?".
We pulled up to Cain Farms and were met by fourth generation dairy farmer, Larry Cain
I wanna get some well known oilmen (oilwomen?) that have never done a podcast on some of our shows here soon. Creating a hit list of 30-50 heavy hitters.
Who y’all wanna see?

@RiotPlatforms
is gunning for the title of the world's largest public Bitcoin miner.
Give it a listen 👇
The team is running on a few hrs of sleep but are dedicated and excited to getting the shots needed to bring this story to life.
For so long this industry has lacked faces with real stories. People saw through the corporate bs.
It’s our responsibility to change that. 🏴☠️
We put
@1scottgale
and
@pickeringenergy
in a room and asked them “What does success in energy transition look like?”
What followed was an absolutely fascinating conversation.
Come check it out live for Evolve on March 10th.
What up Midland?!
We’re excited to see you guys tonight at Energy Tech Night at Yucca Theater.
If you haven’t snagged tickets yet head on our to our site and pick some up.

My oldest son learned a valuable lesson last night.
Never bet your last carnival tickets on your dad making two free throws in a row.
Appreciate the vote of confidence though.
Oil Frackers Bracing for the end of Inventory
A very insightful article,
@CollinEatonHC
- well done.
@TomLoughrey_LFE
- congrats! As an aside, it looks like $DVN agrees on your inventory math! 👀

I was recently asked why fly the 🏴☠️ at Digital Wildcatters.
For generations, the oil & gas industry has completely sucked at controlling the narrative.
We've looked to big corporations & organizations to lead the charge on creating and distributing content.
