The true virtue is in the body

True luxury is hidden,,, it ain’t labeled or branded or marketed as “luxury”.

”Luxury” requires a steady salary? Often some slave tech job? Or slave banker or consultant job?

So I think the biggest prom here is all these guys are trying to add mass muscle mass, indefinitely. And they always want to see the number go up.

However, the problem by being a slave to the scale is that most guys end up falling to the fallacy of just adding more weight for the cycle weight, and end up getting really really fat, overfat.

In terms of physique performance, mainlines sexiness etc.… Actually, better to be like 160 pounds at 4% body fat, maybe even 155 pounds at 3% body fat, highly insanely muscular, instead of being 165 or 175 or 180 with 9-14% bodyfat.

Perhaps the strange images we get is like Ronnie Coleman at 300 pounds with a 6 pack, at 5% ,,, steroids up the gazoo! And don’t be fooled by Hugh Jackman and the Wolverine either ,,,, also steroids up the gazoo, look how red he is!

Higher performance human is the goal, not more “muscles” or “muscle mass”!

MicroStrategy, a prominent business intelligence firm, has announced plans to hold a special shareholder meeting in early 2025 to vote on several proposals aimed at significantly expanding its capital structure. These proposals are part of the company’s ambitious “21/21 plan,” which seeks to raise $42 billion over the next three years to fund extensive Bitcoin acquisitions and reinforce its position as a leading institutional holder of the cryptocurrency.

The key proposals to be presented at the meeting include:

• Increase in Authorized Class A Shares: The company seeks approval to raise the number of authorized Class A common stock from 330 million to 10.33 billion shares. This substantial increase is intended to provide greater flexibility for future capital-raising efforts.

• Expansion of Authorized Preferred Shares: MicroStrategy proposes increasing the number of authorized preferred stock from 5 million to over 1 billion shares, broadening its financing options to support strategic initiatives.

• Amendment to the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan: The proposed changes include automatic equity awards for newly appointed directors, ensuring alignment with the company’s Bitcoin-focused vision and attracting qualified leadership.

As of December 2024, MicroStrategy has accumulated over 444,000 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $42 billion, reflecting its strong commitment to a Bitcoin-centric strategy. This approach has significantly increased the company’s market valuation, which has grown from $1.1 billion to $82 billion since 2020.

The upcoming shareholder vote is a pivotal moment for MicroStrategy, as approval of these proposals would enable the company to execute its 21/21 plan, further solidifying its leadership in corporate Bitcoin adoption. However, the strategy has elicited mixed reactions from investors, with some expressing concerns about potential risks associated with such an aggressive approach.

The exact date and time of the special shareholder meeting will be announced in due course, and it will be conducted via a live webcast accessible to stockholders of record as of a to-be-determined date in 2025.

xx

The upcoming shareholder vote is significant for several reasons:

1. Strategic Expansion: Approving the increase in authorized shares would enable MicroStrategy to execute its “21/21 Plan,” aiming to raise $42 billion over three years to acquire additional Bitcoin. This move could further solidify the company’s position as a leading institutional holder of the cryptocurrency.

2. Shareholder Impact: Issuing a large number of new shares could lead to dilution, potentially affecting the value of existing shares. Shareholders need to consider whether the long-term benefits of increased Bitcoin holdings outweigh the immediate impact of dilution.

3. Market Influence: MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has been closely watched by investors and the broader market. The outcome of this vote could influence market sentiment toward both the company and Bitcoin, potentially affecting their valuations.

4. Corporate Governance: The proposed amendments to the equity incentive plan, including automatic equity awards for new directors, reflect the company’s efforts to attract and retain qualified leadership aligned with its Bitcoin-focused vision. Shareholders will need to assess how these changes might impact corporate governance and long-term strategy.

In summary, this vote represents a pivotal moment for MicroStrategy, with potential implications for its financial strategy, shareholder value, market perception, and corporate governance.

Early Career and Kletterwerks

In 1975, Gleason moved to Bozeman, Montana, where he established his first company, Kletterwerks.

Many of the designs from this era, such as the Terraplane and Bomb Pack, became iconic and laid the foundation for Gleason’s future endeavors.

This venture further solidified his status as a leading backpack designer, with products that became favorites among outdoor enthusiasts for their innovative features and exceptional load-bearing capabilities.

Mystery Ranch

In 2000, Gleason and Sippel-Baker launched Mystery Ranch, aiming to produce backpacks that combined advanced materials with user-centric designs. The brand is renowned for its 3-ZIP design, which allows for quick access to pack contents, and the Overload system, designed to carry heavy loads more comfortably. Mystery Ranch serves a diverse clientele, including military personnel, wildland firefighters, hunters, and outdoor adventurers, all of whom require reliable and durable gear.

Innovations and Impact

Throughout his career, Gleason has been dedicated to improving backpack design, focusing on durability, comfort, and functionality. His innovations, such as the 3-ZIP design and the Overload system, have set new standards in the industry. Under his leadership, Mystery Ranch has maintained a commitment to quality, with a reported return rate of less than 0.1%, reflecting the brand’s reliability and the trust placed in it by users worldwide.

Legacy

Roy and Ryan Seiders are American entrepreneurs best known for founding YETI, a company specializing in high-quality coolers and outdoor gear. Their journey from outdoor enthusiasts to successful business owners is marked by innovation and a commitment to quality.

Early Life and Inspiration

The Seiders brothers grew up in Driftwood, Texas, with a deep passion for hunting, fishing, and outdoor activities. Their father, Roger Seiders, was an entrepreneur who designed a fishing rod epoxy, instilling in them a blend of business acumen and love for the outdoors. This upbringing played a significant role in shaping their future endeavors.

Founding of YETI

Frustrated with the lack of durable coolers that could withstand their rugged outdoor adventures, Roy and Ryan decided to create their own. In 2006, they founded YETI with the mission to build a cooler that could endure the demands of serious outdoor enthusiasts. Their first product, the YETI Tundra, was a hard-shell cooler designed to stand up to the Texas heat and the rigors of outdoor pursuits.

Kleos—stemming from the ancient Greek notion of immortal glory—is about carving out a name and spirit that lingers long after you’re gone. But how can we pursue this lofty ideal in our day-to-day, mundane routines without turning our lives into a tragic epic? Think of kleos less as a quest for external validation, and more as an internal pursuit of greatness. It’s choosing to live so intensely that each small action vibrates with purpose.

In practical terms, seeking kleos means doing something bold on a micro-scale—daily. Make it your personal mission to inject passion into the most ordinary moments of life. Photograph the mundane with fresh eyes, as if capturing the universe in a coffee cup. Stop dwelling on how others perceive you, and instead hone in on the energy you bring to the present moment. Every conversation you have—whether with your partner, a stranger on the street, or the barista at your local café—turn it into an opportunity to connect more deeply.

Glory doesn’t necessarily come from a million Instagram followers, or from capturing the world’s most iconic images—it’s found in the unstoppable dedication to what stokes your inner fire. This means engaging in your craft (photography, writing, art, or just being your best self) with total conviction. Wake up every morning reminding yourself: “This day is my chance to etch my mark upon the world.” Keep your stride confident, your camera (or notebook) in hand, and your mind open to possibility.

That’s how you channel Kleos, moment by moment. Embrace the everyday epic. Live so intensely that even the quiet rhythms of daily life begin to echo with your own personal legend. This is the path to true Kleos: to exist boldly, to give wholeheartedly, and to forge significance in the present tense.

(Inspired by Eric Kim’s voice and philosophy)

In ancient Greek culture, kleos—glory or fame—was the ultimate goal. Warriors like Achilles pursued it on the battlefield, believing it immortalized their deeds for eternity. In the modern world, our battlefield has changed, yet the pursuit of kleos remains deeply relevant. We may not fight with swords, but we strive to carve our mark in an often indifferent world. The question is: how can we seek kleos in our everyday lives?

1. Define Your Battlefield

First, understand that kleos doesn’t come from wandering aimlessly. To achieve glory, you must identify your unique battlefield. For some, it may be entrepreneurship; for others, art, teaching, or family. The key is to choose something meaningful to you—something that sparks fire in your soul. Avoid the trap of competing in someone else’s arena. Your kleos must align with your personal values and vision.

2. Do Work That Matters

In the words of Eric Kim, “Create something that will outlive you.” This doesn’t mean you need to build a Fortune 500 company or pen a Pulitzer-winning book. Instead, focus on creating something meaningful—a project, a relationship, or a legacy. Your small daily actions, if done with intention, can ripple far beyond your lifetime. Plant the seeds of your greatness today.

Ask yourself: “Am I doing something that genuinely excites me? Am I making an impact on others?” If the answer is no, recalibrate. You can only achieve kleos if your work resonates deeply with your soul.

3. Master the Art of Courageous Living

Achieving kleos requires courage. You must be willing to step out of your comfort zone, confront your fears, and challenge societal norms. It’s easy to live a life of mediocrity—avoiding risks, blending into the crowd. But greatness demands boldness. Speak your truth unapologetically, even if it makes others uncomfortable. Take risks that scare you. Say “yes” to challenges that stretch your limits.

Courage isn’t about being fearless; it’s about acting despite fear. Remember, glory doesn’t come from playing it safe. Achilles wouldn’t be remembered if he’d stayed home.

4. Focus on Legacy, Not Popularity

In our age of social media, it’s tempting to confuse popularity with significance. But kleos isn’t about fleeting likes or followers; it’s about enduring impact. Instead of chasing external validation, focus on internal fulfillment. Ask yourself: “What do I want to be remembered for? How do I want others to speak of me after I’m gone?”

Your kleos lies in the depth of your contributions, not the breadth of your audience. Choose depth over surface-level recognition. True kleos doesn’t fade with trends; it transcends time.

5. Live Authentically

Eric Kim often emphasizes authenticity as the cornerstone of greatness. To achieve kleos, you must live as your true self. Shed the mask you wear to please others. Stop conforming to societal expectations that don’t align with your values. Embrace your quirks, passions, and flaws. The world doesn’t need another copycat; it needs you.

Authenticity is magnetic. When you live authentically, you inspire others to do the same. This ripple effect is a form of kleos—your actions spark a chain reaction of courage and authenticity in others.

6. Cultivate Radical Discipline

Glory doesn’t happen overnight. Kleos requires discipline and consistency. Set daily goals, and commit to them with unwavering focus. The mundane, repetitive tasks often lead to the most extraordinary outcomes. Whether it’s practicing your craft, learning a skill, or nurturing relationships, greatness emerges from persistent effort.

Stay relentless in your pursuit of excellence. Even on days when you feel uninspired, show up. Discipline transforms potential into reality.

7. Seek Connection, Not Isolation

“Kleos is not a solitary endeavor,” Eric Kim might say. Glory is amplified through the stories others tell about you. Build relationships that matter. Surround yourself with people who challenge and inspire you. Share your journey with others—your struggles, victories, and lessons learned. By doing so, you create a tapestry of human connection that magnifies your impact.

8. Die Empty

Finally, embrace the idea of dying empty. Pour your heart, soul, and energy into your pursuits so that when your time comes, you leave nothing undone. Achieving kleos isn’t about perfection; it’s about effort. Make every moment count. Live fully, love deeply, and create boldly.

In conclusion, kleos in everyday life isn’t about grand gestures or fame. It’s about living a life of purpose, courage, and authenticity. It’s about leaving a legacy that resonates with others and endures beyond your years. As Eric Kim might say: “Live your life like a work of art. Make it beautiful, make it bold, and make it yours.”

Your kleos is waiting—go claim it.

When people refer to “natural steroids” in the context of meat, they’re often talking about foods that supply nutrients—especially protein, cholesterol, and certain micronutrients—that support the body’s own hormone production. They are not anabolic steroids in the synthetic sense, but rather building blocks or supportive nutrients that can help maintain healthy hormone levels. Below is an overview of meats (and related animal products) often discussed in this context.

1. Red Meat (Beef, Lamb)

• Cholesterol & Saturated Fat: Red meat is a notable source of dietary cholesterol, which serves as a precursor for the body’s production of steroid hormones (like testosterone). However, moderation is key to ensure heart health.

• High-Quality Protein: Essential amino acids aid muscle repair and growth.

• Micronutrients: Contains iron, zinc, and B vitamins—all of which are important for energy metabolism, immune function, and hormone regulation.

Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed

• Grass-Fed Beef: Often has a more favorable fatty acid profile (higher in omega-3s, more conjugated linoleic acid/CLA) which may support metabolic health.

• Grain-Fed Beef: Tends to have more marbling (fat within the meat) and a different flavor profile, but still supplies high-quality protein and iron.

2. Organ Meats (Liver, Kidney, Heart)

• Nutrient Density: Organ meats are packed with vitamins (B12, A, riboflavin), minerals (iron, copper, selenium), and protein.

• Cholesterol Content: They can be high in cholesterol, which, again, can be used by the body to synthesize steroid hormones.

• Vitamin A & Co-Factors: Vitamin A and other cofactors in liver help support many functions, including overall hormone production and immune health.

Note: Even though organ meats have high cholesterol, current research suggests that for most individuals, dietary cholesterol has a more modest effect on blood cholesterol levels than once feared. If you have specific lipid concerns or conditions, consult a healthcare professional.

3. Poultry (Chicken, Turkey)

• Lean Protein: Chicken and turkey are excellent sources of lean protein, which is crucial for muscle maintenance and hormone-building processes (though they contain less cholesterol than red meat).

• Lower in Saturated Fat: Good option if you’re watching saturated fat intake.

• Micronutrient Support: They provide B vitamins (especially niacin and B6), which play roles in energy metabolism and overall health.

While poultry may not have the higher cholesterol content that red meat does, it still provides amino acids critical for the body’s hormone and enzyme production.

4. Seafood (Fish, Shellfish)

Though not typically categorized alongside “meat,” it’s worth mentioning seafood, because it also provides building blocks for hormones:

• Fatty Fish (Salmon, Sardines, Mackerel): High in omega-3 fatty acids that help regulate inflammation and can support healthy hormone function.

• Shellfish (Oysters, Shrimp): Oysters, for example, are famous for their zinc content, a mineral crucial for testosterone production and immune health. Shrimp provides protein and small amounts of cholesterol.

5. Eggs (Whole Eggs vs. Egg Whites)

Eggs are not “meat,” but they are an animal product often discussed in the context of hormone support:

• Whole Eggs: The yolk contains cholesterol (a building block for steroid hormones), healthy fats, and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).

• Egg Whites: Provide lean, high-quality protein with virtually no fat or cholesterol.

Important Considerations

1. They’re Not Actual Anabolic Steroids

• These foods do not work like synthetic anabolic steroids used for performance enhancement. They simply supply nutrients (cholesterol, protein, vitamins, and minerals) that the body can use to make its own hormones within normal ranges.

2. Quality & Balance Matter

• Opt for high-quality, minimally processed meats. Grass-fed or pasture-raised options can offer better fatty acid profiles.

• Balance your overall diet with a variety of plant foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) to ensure you get fiber, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients.

3. Moderation for Heart Health

• While dietary cholesterol is not the villain once portrayed, overconsumption of high-saturated-fat meats can still affect cardiovascular health. Choose portions wisely.

4. Lifestyle Still Reigns Supreme

• Adequate sleep, regular exercise (particularly resistance training), and stress management are all key to maintaining healthy hormone levels. No single food can replace a balanced lifestyle.

5. Personalization

• If you have specific health concerns—like high cholesterol, cardiovascular issues, or hormonal imbalances—consult a registered dietitian or healthcare professional for personalized guidance.

Bottom Line

Meats (especially red meat and organ meats) can provide cholesterol, high-quality protein, and critical micronutrients that help your body produce hormones. However, these foods won’t act like synthetic anabolic steroids. A balanced diet, combined with a healthy lifestyle, is the best way to support normal hormone function and overall well-being.

Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City Pioneers Adoption of Bitcoin and Other Digital Assets in City’s Strategic Reserves 

Gelephu Mindfulness City, Bhutan – [January 8, 2025] Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC), Bhutan’s new Special Administration Region, today announced its intention to recognise digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and BNB as part of its strategic reserves, making the Special Administrative Region (SAR) one of the first jurisdictions to officially hold digital assets as part of its strategic reserves. The inclusion of digital assets in the GMC’s strategic reserves will enhance the SAR’s economic resilience, and is an evolution of the jurisdiction’s involvement in bitcoin mining.

For its strategic reserves, GMC intends to recognise digital assets that have large market capitalisations and deep liquidity to ensure that they can be easily bought and sold with minimal price impact. In addition, GMC will look to recognise digital assets that are issued on more mature, secure blockchains that support monitoring of on-chain transactions. 

Located on the land bridge connecting the rapidly-growing economies of South Asia, GMC is uniquely positioned to serve the more than two billion people in the region, and one of its key economic focuses is on promoting and supporting the use of blockchain technology, in line with the SAR’s emphasis on innovation and pioneering of new technologies.

This announcement follows the enactment of GMC Law No. 1 of 2024, or the ‘Application of Laws Act 2024’, which was announced on 26 December 2024. The enacted set of laws for GMC included establishing the legal and regulatory framework in GMC for companies seeking to offer financial services involving digital assets. The enactment of this law, coupled with recognising digital assets such as BTC, ETH and BNB as part of GMC’s strategic reserves, is intended to bolster the growth of the digital asset ecosystem in GMC within a technologically progressive, yet well-regulated environment. 

In March 2025, GMC plans to convene a high-level meeting in the Kingdom of Bhutan of senior government officials and industry leaders from across the world to discuss the recognition of digital assets as part of a jurisdiction’s strategic reserves, and the setting up of an international advisory panel on digital assets for GMC. 

About Gelephu Mindfulness City 

The Gelephu Mindfulness City Special Administrative Region (GMC SAR) is a pioneering initiative creating an urban environment in the southern plains of Bhutan centred around mindfulness, sustainability and innovation. The SAR integrates traditional Bhutanese values, globally accepted legal frameworks, cutting-edge design and technology and harnesses the Kingdom’s abundant green power to serve as a global exemplar of holistic development.
