Americans are getting robbed blind in their retirement accounts.

Don't believe me? Read on πŸ‘‡
1/ In the last decade, target date funds have taken over retirement accounts. For people who get a 401(k) through their employer, this is often the only option.

According to Fidelity, 69% of millennials are 100% invested in target date funds in their retirement accounts.
2/ These are long-term funds whose asset allocation mix 'auto-magically' becomes more conservative as the target date approaches.

Not only do all these funds take fees for reallocating your assets, they barely beat the rate of inflation.
3/ The rate of inflation over the past 3 years is 8%.

Vanguard's Target Retirement 2060 Fund had a 3-year return of 9.08%. Fidelity's Index 2060 Fund returned 11.03%.

For reference, bitcoin is up more than 500% over the last 3 years.
4/ 69% of millennials are getting charged fees to have their retirement savings outpace inflation by ~1-3% and be told they're not allowed to buy bitcoin.

This is why I work with @choicebykt
5/ Choice lets you buy real bitcoin with the same tax-advantages billionaire investors use for their investments.
6/ And Choice just released their iOS app. You can now open an account in less than 10 minutes from the palm of your hand.

Go search 'stack sats' in the app store and check it out.

You can also visit choiceapp.io/?utm_medium=so…
7/ And one more thing -- I convinced Choice to extend their iOS launch bonus -- anyone who opens their account this week will get $50 in free bitcoin after funding.

So what are you waiting for?

Head over choiceapp.io/?utm_medium=so…
8/8 You aren't going to be able to rely on Social Security for your retirement funds.

You have to make sure you put yourself in a position to be financially secure.

Go check out @choicebyKT and let me know what you.

The average person has to make 10 good decisions in their life.

These 10 decisions ultimately determine how happy you are and how wealthy you become.

Here they are πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ
1/ Most people don’t make big decisions before the age of 18.

The first big life decision you’ll face is around education.

Go to college? Skip it? Which school? What to study?

Get this right, you’re off to a good start.
2/ The second big decision is around what industry or market you focus on.

As the saying goes - good team meets bad market, the market wins. Bad team meets good market, the market wins.

Pick correctly here and you’ll have a lifelong tailwind propelling you forward.

One of the main reasons that more public companies are not putting bitcoin on their balance sheet is because of the current accounting rules.

We have a chance to ask for those rules to be re-evaluated.

You can say something as simple as:

"I support the MicroStrategy position. Bitcoin should have Fair Value Accounting."

Wow!

The Miami City Commission just voted in favor of accepting $4.3 million in protocol contributions generated by MiamiCoin, which is built on top of bitcoin.

Today marks a huge day for Miami, and a milestone for crypto.
MiamiCoin mining (the first of many @minecitycoins) generated this initial $4.3 million contribution in just over 1 month since launch.

Even better: This isn't just a one-time donation: Total contributions continue to grow as the MiamiCoin protocol continues to gain usage.
.@minecitycoins is leading the way out of the crypto casino, and straight into crypto civilization.

Importantly, MiamiCoin β€” and all future CityCoins β€” are built on Bitcoin via @stacks.

This gives all CityCoins superpowers.

Incentives drive the world.

This concept is frequently cited, but rarely productized.

I'm fascinated by how prediction markets can change that.

A few thoughts πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ
We live in a world where "truth" has become highly controversial and debatable.

One idea is to financially incentivize the crowd to identify the truth.

This type of mechanism can essentially tell people to "put up or shut up."
Information markets like those on @PolymarketHQ let users make a return for correctly forecasting future events.

If you truly believe something is going to happen, you can risk capital on it.

If you're right, you win. If you're wrong, you lose.

The market is the referee.

The single most important thing to teach a child is how to think, rather than what to think.

We need more independent thinkers, problem solvers, and entrepreneurs in this world.

@synthesischool is a no brainer for every parent.

APPLY: synthesis.is/pomp
1/ The legacy education system was built for producing factory workers that simply did what they were told.

Young kids are ill-equipped for the dynamic, digital world that makes up modern society.

We don't need factory workers. We need problem solvers: synthesis.is/pomp
2/ The school system literally tells young kids to sit down, don't move around, and be quiet.

It goes against everything a child naturally wants to do.

@synthesischool is pioneering a new way to give your child the tools they need to succeed: synthesis.is/pomp
