A Letter to My Future Self: Building a Stronger Family Legacy in 2023

A reminder that the work starts now

Dear future self,

I am writing you this letter to remind you of what life was like for you in the year 2023 and to serve as a source of motivation for you to continue executing our plans and achieving the many goals we've set for ourselves. In 2023, you wear multiple hats: a father, a fiancé, an entrepreneur, and a leader within our family. Your primary focus this year revolves around building a better future for your family and yourself, involving the creation of an ecosystem where the family can thrive and collectively improve our chances of survival.

2023 finds you grappling with concerns about the family potentially growing apart. You feel that a tribal protocol may be necessary as we navigate the future. With children aged between 17 and 5, your oldest is on the brink of adulthood, marking a significant transition for you as a parent. This shift serves as a wake-up call, emphasizing the increased need for your guidance and support as your children transition from adolescence to early adulthood.

Before delving further into your concerns and aspirations, it's noteworthy to mention the current Bitcoin block height, which stands at 805,933, with a fiat price of $25,815. These statistics hold significance for you because you believe they will matter in the future and contribute to shaping your family's ethos.

In 2023, you observe a world that appears more distorted than ever before, particularly in America. Many people seem to be struggling with their values, whether on moral or financial fronts. Society seems increasingly shortsighted, leaving us vulnerable to various issues. One significant concern of yours is the rising prevalence of a high-time preference mentality, which has negative consequences, especially for family structures.

Rather than dwelling solely on the challenges, you are eager to outline the positive changes you hope to see for your family. Your vision includes bringing the family closer, rekindling a tribal sense, and contributing to each other's survival. You emphasize the importance of collectively saving Bitcoin, building a family reserve, acquiring land for future generations, and establishing family-owned businesses that provide for all members. This vision aims to empower your children to become leaders within these businesses, fostering self-sufficiency and a strong family bond.

As you gain wisdom through life's experiences, you recognize the significance of making the most of your time on Earth and contributing back to your tribe. These concerns and aspirations stem from your desire to become the patriarch of a large, united family. I write this letter to remind you of your commitment to these goals and to provide a benchmark for your progress. Five years from now, you can reflect on how far you've come in building a stronger family legacy.

Sincerely, BeOG
