I just graduated from USC. I now have a bachelor’s in Business Economics and a master’s in Marketing, where I took over 42 units of finance and economics courses. And still, none of those courses taught me what I learned on my own. No class explained the truth about the
- I’m someone’s future wife, so no, I don’t wear revealing Halloween costumes. I’m someone’s future wife, so no, I don’t go to clubs. I’m someone’s future wife, so no, I don’t drink and get wasted. I’m someone’s future wife, so yes, I aim to choose growth over comfort. I’m
- Wore my Bitcoiner hoodie to the mall… the comments were priceless 😂🧡
- Gen Z is told: “Get married, buy a house, start a family.” Yeah, we’d love to. But our purchasing power keeps declining, interest rates are high, 50% of our paycheck goes to rent, and salaries aren’t keeping up. Bitcoin is the only inheritance we can claim.

- Just got a Bloomberg notification that says “Bitcoin drops to the lowest level since June.” Cool. Where was the notification when my rent doubled? When my groceries went up 40%? When my insurance climbed every year for no reason? When my college tuition tripled in a decade?
- Bitcoin drops to $114K and everyone’s acting like the world’s ending. This day last year it was $60K. Zoom out. This isn’t pain. This is what winning looks like.
- A relationship with Jesus.Name something more important than bitcoin.
- I’m 23 years old and a recent first-gen college grad. I did everything they told me would lead to success, but the promises feel hollow. Then I learned the system I was handed is incredibly broken. And it started long before I was born. In 1971, they untethered the dollar
