Crypto distracts from what’s important. Long term savings ( #bitcoin ) and focusing on aspects of your life that matter. Crypto is yet another way to waste time, energy, effort and talent for little reward.

Bitcoin is not a compounding asset. Here’s math on why your retirement withdrawal rate must be less than 4% if you want your money to last more than 25 years: If 1 BTC is $100k, 4% withdrawal is $4k and 0.04 BTC If 1 BTC is $1M, 4% withdrawal is $40k and 0.04 BTC 1 BTC = 1 BTC
