Dear Son, What You Need to Know About The Future of Money

Dear Son,

Your thirteenth birthday just passed. You’re officially a teenager now. There are some things I need to teach you and circumstances have prevented me from passing on what I’ve discovered in my journey about money. I decided to leave you a record of my thoughts and what it will mean for your generation and your children. Some of these talks I realize you’re not ready for. But the world doesn’t wait for us to be ready. You have to have some practical knowledge in order to not squander the opportunity you will receive.

You will inherit my bitcoin. No lawyer, bank, or government will tell you about this when I die. It’s something that must remain within our family and our legacy. We will control our own destiny. You will teach this to your children as well. I will create private contracts strictly within our family that will protect our wealth. My plans are to create the foundation for what our family will do moving forward. When I thought deeply about this, I recognized the need for these plans to extend beyond my lifetime. 

Bitcoin hardware wallets will hold our wealth. The hardware wallets will be protected by something called a seed phrase consisting of twelve or twenty-four words. You must guard these words with your life. The seed phrase will be passed onto you in the form of a locked steel tablet to which you will have the key. The tablet is designed to resist any form of destruction. I will teach you about responsibly wielding firearms and methods of storing it safely. The seed phrases may be split on multiple hardware wallets and steel tablets if the wealth becomes too large for a single location. You must take care to never lose the seed phrase. I will provide instruction of conducting a routine schedule of restoring a wallet using the seed phrase so you can confirm its safety. 

There is a price to be paid for everything desired. There has to be one person in a family, within multiple generations, that must sacrifice their time, energy, and mind to the creation of something greater than themselves. Often times, it comes at the price of prioritizing things other than family. I just want you to know that this pattern will begin and end with me. I am going through the process of mastering money so that you can master it without the difficulties of starting from scratch. I want you to be able to focus on deciding your own direction for life. I don’t want you to have the same burdens as me. Worrying about money, food, & shelter consume precious mental resources that can used toward realizing your dream, whatever it may be. 

Save at least ten percent of your income. This is the only valuable lesson I’ve gotten from the previous generation. The concepts of money that were passed on to me are ways of the old. What worked for my parents and grandparents may no longer work for me. It is why I want to help plan for the world you will inherit. I made a risky bet and decided to invest my ten-percent savings into bitcoin. I assure you that I have done my due diligence, researched it to the best of my ability, and concluded that this is the future of money. It may take another ten, fifty, or a hundred years to happen. But it will happen.

Bitcoin is made from energy. Energy makes up all the matter in the universe. It is a neutral system that is not controlled by man. Dollars are printed by man and recorded in books. The printing press and books are also controlled by man. Wherever man is involved, greed is always present and cunning. Dollars are enforced by faith and violence. I fear you may experience a world war in your lifetime. As the greed of man will fester into abomination of evil as it clings desperately onto its symbols of power. When darkness consumes the world, it is a good time to invest.

I want you to invest in the stock market through the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Admiral Shares (VTSAX). Unfortunately, the stock market is not the best investment choice for me during this point in time. Though it worked for my parents and grandparents, I took a big bet on the future. You have my permission to use some of our bitcoin to purchase these stocks when you believe the ratio of bitcoin to stocks is appropriate. I believe there will be functions that will allow stocks to be purchased with bitcoin in your lifetime. Don’t try to time the market or pick stocks individually, it’s a waste of time. Just buy it and don’t sell it no matter what havoc the world is in. Make a decision and follow through until successful. It will always be higher in the future. Let’s talk about the future.

Our family has psychic powers. Your grandmother, my mother, always had an unusual intuition for things beyond her understanding. As a matter of fact, yesterday, she called me fifteen minutes before I had a serious talk with someone I care about. Her advice was very specific about how I should not say things in anger–that words can be powerful and attacks the mind directly. I said some things in anger the previous week and I didn’t tell anyone about it so she couldn’t have known. In my adulthood, I discovered I too have moments of impeccable understanding. I sometimes go into trances while talking to people and I feel I’m being used as a vessel to communicate something from beyond my understanding. Sounds crazy right? Though it’s not consistent, I think this is a skill we can learn to develop. There was once a time when someone believed we can communicate through the airwaves and everyone thought they were crazy. Now we have cell phones and communicate through the airwaves like crazy people. This is why I believe that humanity has arrived at a point in science where we think all the hard secrets have already been discovered. But what we’ve reached is simply a barrier of consciousness. This is a barrier we are breaking through right now. Once through, there will discoveries beyond your wildest imagination. It will be an era of enlightenment. You and/or your children will be part of this grand movement hopefully leading us to my dream, the stars. 

Love, Dad.

P.S. Semper ad astra. (Always to the stars)
