I used to believe that passive index investing was the path to wealth.
Despite knowing about Bitcoin since 2017, making and losing money on ICOs and holding some ever since I still invested in index funds. I was wrong and missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime.
I’d DCA into S&P500 index ETFs monthly and add to my retirement account. It was the safe and proven path to retiring in 30 years with a million dollars, so surely I’d be financially free eventually.
Then the world changed in 2020. Our freedoms were stripped away across multiple dimensions. I learnt and felt the truth about inflation. More money was printed than ever before and the price of everything exploded.
The money I had put aside to buy a house bought less and less of a house every year. Life got more expensive. A million dollars wasn’t a million dollars anymore.
I was falling behind and became more and more nihilistic about the world. How was I going to build a family and give them the life they deserved?
Then I had a son and reality punched me in the face. From the first moment I looked into his eyes I realised that nihilism had no place in my world. He was relying on me to provide a great life for him and I was determined to do that with every fibre of my being. A fire started burning in my soul.
The thing that most people don’t realise with passive investments is that they can separate you from your life force energetically, especially if they don’t align with your values. I realised that my labour was being converted to pain and suffering; and inadvertently funding the world that I didn’t want my son to grow up in.
I took a long hard look at myself and flipped my beliefs about wealth and money. It was time to move from being weak, passive and powerless to being empowered and in control.
From the moment I made that decision things started showing up. We found the house that was right for us and moved our wealth to money that can’t be inflated away.
Then SPX6900 popped up on my radar in October 2024. It pierced through my consciousness and planted a seed. I wasn’t a believer straight away but I could sense there was something special there.
I bought some tiny coins and started engaging with the community. People were authentic and I could feel how genuine they were with every interaction and each weekly spaces.
I bought some more and the mind virus that is
$SPX started to spread through me. Before long I was converting other coins I held to
$SPX
As I spent more time in the cognisphere, I started to synchronise with the mission and truly believe in the revolution. In this world it’s hard to find something worth believing in, so when you do you jump in with your heart and soul. I’m planting my flag in the cognisphere as an aeon until the job’s finished.
Right now is the perfect time in history for this movement to emerge. People can sense that something isn’t right. It’s getting harder and harder to support our families. Trust in institutions is an all time low and nihilism is rife. Technology is on the precipice of upending work as we know it and the world will look vastly different over the next decade.
Becoming an aeon is being long humanity. Long human creativity, connection and belonging.
It’s resonating with a network of people who understand that the future is uncertain; and who are willing to build a fair and equitable world that we would all want to inhabit.
I choose to navigate through this uncertainty with my fellow aeons.
If any of this resonates with you at all then take some time to look into and start interacting with the
$SPX community. Maybe you’ll see what I see too and become a believer.
Flip the stock market.
Flip everything.
