Key takeaways
Sound parenting = authority + love: Set boundaries early (obey first → ask later; “delayed obedience is disobedience”), model the behavior you expect, and use rituals/mantras.

Homeschooling is doable: The bar in public schooling is often low; focus on teaching kids how to learn. Many states (e.g., ESA programs) offset costs.

Time flexibility is alpha: Homeschooling enables real-world learning (travel, conferences) and adapts faster to AI than institutional curricula.

Leaders, not followers: Bitcoiners should intentionally raise the next generation of builders and leaders.

College ≠ default: Consider trades, internships, and shipping real work; university ROI is being repriced.

Treasury strategies are maturing: Pure plays grabbed headlines, but durable winners pair profitable ops + steady BTC accumulation and avoid over-leverage.

Miners are a different beast: Hardware cycles, capex and energy costs matter; several are reassessing strategies in a tighter efficiency delta era.
