Recap 2022, Outlook 2023
I swore to myself that this year is is gonna be the year of accountability for everyone, myself and my inner circle. What do I mean when I say that?
For the longest time I added my yearly goal to loose further kg — and if you are one of my friends you know that I have always struggled with my weight it could nearly be correlated with the bitcoin price. As we speak I started my journey with weight loss properly in 2020 where I did my first full check about my body with inBody @ Gravity Singapore. That revealed 112kg and 38.8% body fat.
In December 2022 I dropped down 87.9kg and 25% body fat.
Per 11 February 2023 I was able to drop it a further to 82.4kg and 23.1% body fat the goal this year was 83kg — the only thing I needed was tracking my food, before that I was just cycling and the calories which I burned I simply ate them back, thanks for the self awareness mirror from my better half Michelle which allowed me to take things serious — which led me to install https://www.myfitnesspal.com/de to just track my intake and try to somewhat have a calorie deficit per day — which is kind of easy if I can follow my standard routine to cycle 70km on the bicycle and walk another 7-8km. You can follow me on Strava
Disclaimer: This is not the bitcoin price but rather my performance chart.
But wait what — you just cycled yourself to your ideal wight and dropped 30kg which will most likely be off forever as there has been a few more tweaks in lifestyle and knowledge to achieve this stage. Sleep well, give your body what it deserves in terms of nutrition, exercise. I mean brain refresh for 2–3h this helps also mentally to overcome any problem. If you still need motivation go down the rabbit hole of David Goggins and Jordan Peterson. I learned a lot those 2 years about discipline and accountability. More people should in this society.
VO2Max a decent indicator as well where you are. Thanks to Stuart from UFIT. Who gave me a good indicator how Zone2 can help in fat burning alongside the kcal expenditure. With this, managing your kcal deficit or just maintain weight becomes a lot easier.
What other progress was important to me? Blockchain and lifting up others.
First lets address Blockchain, we increased the speed in 2022 in shipping quite dramatically through our contributions at https://investhub.io/.
A quick look behind the scenes:
cool projects which launched https://kyc.calidrisfintech.com/, https://kyc.qdev.li/, https://kyc.xdcteq.io/, https://kyc.triptax.com/, https://kyc.cryptoadvisory.li/, https://envion.investhub.io/, https://kyc.altdrx.com/, https://app.litigation-financing.io/
Also the lift up at ROAS Capital Pte. Ltd. helped an entrepreneur figure out his true worth and sales increased quite dramatically — so yet another proof of concept how important Marketing can be. IT CAN BE LIVE CHANGING.
We also moved in another office at Herrengasse 30 so there is enough space for 2023.
Outlook 2023?
- Have not been more bullish on self custody
- Tokenisation and its infrastructure has more adoption
- Ledger only sold 6m in Ledgers so far, hope they will prevent another data leak until everyone has a Ledger or Ledger similar wallet. Still a few billions to go
- Adoption rate of wallets in general similar like the Internet
- Tokenized Investment Rails will be the back bone of investments in the future
- Bootstrapping is hard, but it makes a better product
But then, health all good, tech progress how do you see the current environment with regards to society, tokenisation, self development?
I will keep those topics for a mid review in 2023 which will be one single post or a few smaller ones — the keywords for them will be:
- Never stop self development
- Never stop learning
- Find a routine which makes your disciplined and stay disciplined
- Make regular health check ups to know your data
- Measure + compare your health KPIs (track everything else with health app from Apple)
- Figure out what VO2Max is
- Conclusion from scaling a SaaS from 0 to 10k MRR
- Political environment, remote first, like we preached in 2015 already
- Society — birth rates
- Do good, every day. You will be rewarded, pay it forward
