Yesterday, a financial advisor I’ve known since high school — the kind who manages money for rich people — texted me a screenshot showing Bitcoin down 10% this month.

He said, “Tough month for you Bitcoin guys.”

I told him, “Perfect. Now I get to buy cheaper sats.”

He’s sharp, credentialed, and successful… but always too busy to train. He’s just starting to come around to Bitcoin, but still thinks in fiat terms — short-term, emotional, and reactive.

Here’s how I see it: When the market’s red, I don’t panic. I train harder. Eat cleaner. Sleep deeper. Stack more sats.

Because my proof of work isn’t in the chart — it’s in my habits. My portfolio’s built in the wallet, but my freedom’s built in the gym, one rep and one meal at a time.

Bitcoin teaches low time preference — so does fitness. Both reward consistency, discipline, and delayed gratification. And both expose who’s really putting in the work when the hype fades.

...

Question for you all: How do you stay grounded and productive when the price dips — what’s your version of proof of work when the market tests your patience?
