Yesterday, I contemplated life. I thought about how we make plans and wait for the stars to align before finally living. I thought about how we rarely enjoy the fruits of our labour because we learnt to manage while coming up. 🧵

Moving from a scarcity to a prosperity mindset is difficult. It's why we keep reserving things for visitors and keep waiting for vacations before resting. It's why we accept less than ideal love and learn to compromise the sacred.
So, yesterday I decided to do something about the restlessness in my spirit. Something symbolic.
I discovered I typically sleep on only one side of my bed. It's a habit I picked up because I prefer being near the door. I chose to sleep in the middle instead and to "spread out". To use my multiple pillows instead of one.
Rather than start the day in my study, I drank coffee on my balcony, as I gazed at the beautiful mango tree in this thread. I realised there are chairs I've never sat on in my home and so, I sat on them.
There are rooms I've never slept in, I will sleep in them. I will go round my dining table till I've eaten on every chair. I will thoroughly use my house including the best of all crockery and all spaces.
I made up my mind to pay attention to my emotional and health needs. I will sleep when I am tired. Switch off my phone when I need quietness. Not allow myself to be taken for granted or my emotional needs to be ignored.
I will gravitate towards love & those who prioritise me and I will move away from those who drain me.
I will spend more time with divinity and less time thinking of Nigeria. I will accept my realities and try to work with what I've got, not what I wish I had.
I will take legacy seriously and apply the deliberateness, delegation and documentation that it demands.

So help me God.

1/ Feels like a good time to tell the story of how I went from broke to a millionaire to broke again in 2017/18 again...

Yesterday was brutal for some people...

Losing life-changing money sucks, losing any money sucks...you can chase the market or you can change your strategy.

- Peaked at 150 BTC
- Lost nearly all of it

2 weeks from losing my house + no income. Oops.

3/ I am going to assume you are in it for the money rather than the tech. Yeah, you might Tweet about the amazing blockchaining of cross-border payments and oracles yadda yadda...really, you are in it to make money.

If you are really in it for the tech, go and build something.

4/ Okay, so if you want to make money, trading is super hard, you are trading against:
- Better traders than you
- People who can move markets
- Unknown information

And if you are trading with leverage you might blow up your account with the volatility.

5/ If you are not trading, you are investing. Okay, so what are you investing in?

I made the decision that the crypto with the best opportunity of existing in 10 years is #Bitcoin:
- Solves a genuine problem
- The right tech
- A proven track record
