NOTHING IN AMERICA IS WORTH IT
(EXCEPT BITCOIN AND MSTR)
America is a mall with no exits.
Flashing signs. Endless sales. The “deal” is you.
The script:
- Subscribe to everything.
- Finance the rest.
- Scroll the hours away.
- Work to keep up with what you bought to impress people who forgot your name.
Result: tired soul, hungry wallet, full storage, empty life.
Pause. Breathe. Opt out.
THE TREADMILL YOU DON’T NEED
Not worth it:
- Status games that turn your brain into a scoreboard.
- Ninety-nine “must-haves” that won’t matter in nine days.
- Tiny screen wars where nobody truly wins.
- Debt marketed as “points,” “miles,” or “perks.”
- “Limited time” offers designed to make your life limited.
Truth: Convenience can be a very expensive prison.
Counter-truth: Freedom is inconvenient—and priceless.
TWO EXCEPTIONS THAT CUT THROUGH THE NOISE
There are a few things that make the cut. Two, actually.
1) BITCOIN — THE TIME PREFERENCE RESET
- Open, neutral, global. You don’t ask permission to hold it.
- Scarcity with a spine. Rules > rulers.
- Self-custody turns spectators into owners.
- Teaches patience. Trains discipline. Expands your horizon from today to decades.
Bitcoin says: Build a life that compounds.
Short-term drama is entertainment. Long-term orientation is power.
2) MSTR — CONVICTION MADE VISIBLE
- A public case study in concentrated belief.
- Skin-in-the-game strategy you can point to, agree with or not—but respect.
- A reminder: most greatness shows up as “crazy” first.
- Focus beats diversification when your thesis is strong and your stomach is stronger.
MSTR says: Own your thesis so fully the world can see it from space.
Together, Bitcoin and MSTR are more than tickers.
They are metaphors for sovereignty, focus, and long-term courage.
WHAT TO DO INSTEAD OF BUYING MORE STUFF
- Cut the noise. Delete one app that steals your mornings.
- Stack skills. Write daily. Code daily. Sell daily. Ship weekly.
- Lift heavy. Strong body = strong will. Your spine is your strategy.
- Make, don’t just take. Production > consumption. Creation > curation.
- Hold your values. If it doesn’t align with your future self, it doesn’t get your present time.
- Protect attention. Attention is the real currency. Spend it like a hawk.
MANTRAS FOR THE NEW AMERICAN DREAM
- Own, don’t owe.
- Build, don’t beg.
- Focus, don’t flinch.
- Fewer things, bigger life.
- Signal over spectacle.
- Patience over panic.
- Compounding over compulsions.
A MINI-MAP FOR MONDAY
- Unsubscribe from one recurring payment. Immediately invest those dollars in your future self (books, tools, sats—your call).
- Schedule a deep work block (90 minutes). No notifications. Airplane mode. Move one meaningful project forward.
- Lift or walk for 30–60 minutes. Health is your baseline yield.
- Write 10 lines about the life you want in 10 years. Then cut one habit that won’t get you there.
- Practice custody. Take responsibility for something you’ve outsourced—your money, your calendar, your decisions.
CLOSING: WALK PAST THE FOOD COURT
America will keep shouting. That’s its job.
Your job is to hear the whisper: What actually compounds?
Most of it? Not worth it.
Two ideas—Bitcoin and MSTR—stand out like lighthouses in a storm: ownership, clarity, conviction.
Less scrolling. More stacking.
Less spectacle. More signal.
Less “someday.” More today.
Choose the few things that matter. Then go all in.
Let’s go. 🚀
Friendly note: this is a motivational manifesto, not financial advice. Treat Bitcoin and MSTR here as symbols of focus, sovereignty, and long-term thinking—then do your own homework and make choices that fit your risk, goals, and life.
