How to Get Rich

1. Own Bitcoin 🟠

Bitcoin is decentralized, finite, and resistant to inflation. Holding it gives you financial sovereignty and long-term wealth potential.

2. Think Rich 🧠

Wealth starts with mindset. Believe in abundance, take responsibility, and reject scarcity thinking.

3. Take Action 🚀

Stack sats, learn, and build habits that support financial independence. Consistency beats perfection.

4. Avoid Fiat Traps 🏦

Escape inflation, taxation, and debt cycles. Fiat systems are designed to keep you poor—opt out.

5. Be Your Own Bank 🔐

With Bitcoin, you control your money. No middlemen, no permission needed. Store your wealth securely and privately.

Freedom is the new wealth.

6. Invest, Borrow, Die 🧬

This strategy builds generational wealth while minimizing tax exposure. It’s legal, strategic, and used by billionaires.

Buy assets. Borrow smart. Pass on wealth tax-free. 🧠💰
