My question is - then what? If I have all my pension/ savings in Bitcoin self custody- what is the most efficient way to live off my stack now I’m retired?

Best strategy for those who just retired on Bitcoin and need to use it to live. IMHO using Bitcoin as collateral for a loan, staking etc is yet another ploy to capture my stack. What does Simon suggest?

I have made a tincture of rosemary which I add to a glass of water several times during the day. 💕

Absolutely. And that’s not just the US. 😬

I bought a beautiful double door stainless steel Haier refrigerator when I first moved to Sanya, China in 2009. I had zero knowledge of Chinese branded goods so asked a Chinese friend for a recommendation and she suggested the brand Haier. That refrigerator has been with me from Sanya to Danang,Vietnam, back to China- Dalian, then Beijing. Then Thailand- Bangkok and now in Hua Hin. It looks brand new— no rust etc- and works like a charm. Still going strong in 2026-i t’s never broken down, needed parts nor repairs. The best refrigerator I have ever owned. 🙏🏻

What happened to the silver markets in January should be a warning to Bitcoiners. 😳

It is for this reason that the Bitcoin creed reads- firstly- “Stay humble.” This is truly the very first step into Bitcoin. To humble oneself and admit to oneself that “you had it all wrong”. On every level- financial, spiritual, mental, physical. From that position of humility the world of Bitcoin, encompassing freedom in all its facets, in its entirety, opens up. And it is from THIS point that the second part of the creed which reads- “Stack sats” comes into play. Humility has opened the door to conviction in Bitcoin. Only then is one is able to grasp EVERYTHING that is Bitcoin. And conviction - able to withstand all onslaughts against Bitcoin- is what propels stacking sats. It’s a perpetual loop.🙏🏻
