As a former Olympic alternate wrestler and professional MMA fighter, I've always been drawn to things that require discipline, long-term thinking, and the courage to be different. That's exactly why I accept Bitcoin for my fitness coaching services.
Most people think Bitcoin and fitness training have nothing in common. I see them as perfect partners. Both require the same fundamental mindset that separates champions from everyone else.
The Bitcoin-Fitness Connection
Bitcoin and elite athletic training both demand: unwavering discipline, long-term vision, immunity to short-term noise, and the courage to do what others won't.
The Discipline That Builds Champions
When I was training for the Olympics, I had to think in 4-year cycles. Every day, every meal, every training session was an investment in a goal that seemed impossibly far away. Most people couldn't understand why I'd sacrifice immediate pleasures for uncertain future rewards.
Olympic training requires the same long-term thinking as Bitcoin investing
Sound familiar? That's exactly the mindset of every serious Bitcoin advocate I know. They understand that real wealth—whether physical, financial, or mental—is built through consistent daily actions that compound over time.
Why Most People Fail at Both
The majority of people want instant results:
- In fitness: They want a six-pack in 30 days without changing their lifestyle
- In Bitcoin: They want to get rich quick by trading shitcoins
- In life: They choose short-term comfort over long-term excellence
Champions in any field understand that real results come from playing the long game. Whether you're stacking sats or stacking plates, consistency beats intensity every time.
Champion's Mindset
The same mental toughness that makes you hold Bitcoin through bear markets is what makes you show up to train when you don't feel like it. Both require ignoring short-term discomfort for long-term gains.
Bitcoin Mirrors Elite Athletic Principles
1. Time Preference and Training
Low time preference is a superpower in both Bitcoin and fitness. Elite athletes delay gratification constantly—skipping parties for sleep, choosing chicken and rice over pizza, training when others are relaxing.
Bitcoin teaches the same lesson with money that Olympic training teaches with effort: the best rewards come to those who wait and work consistently.
The Bitcoin community understands the value of discipline and long-term thinking
2. Signal vs. Noise
In wrestling, you learn to ignore the crowd, the trash talk, and the mind games. You focus on what you can control: your technique, your conditioning, your mental state.
Bitcoin teaches the same skill with financial media. You learn to ignore the FUD, the hype cycles, and the "experts" who change their predictions weekly. You focus on the fundamentals and stick to your plan.
3. Skin in the Game
When you step on a wrestling mat, there's nowhere to hide. Your preparation (or lack thereof) is exposed immediately. Bitcoin is similar—you can't fake your way to wealth any more than you can fake your way to elite athleticism.
Real Commitment
Both Bitcoin and elite fitness require you to put your money (or effort) where your mouth is. There are no participation trophies in either arena.
Why I Choose Bitcoin Over Traditional Payments
Practical Benefits
- Global Accessibility: I can train clients anywhere in the world without payment processor restrictions
- Lower Fees: More value goes to coaching, less to middlemen
- Privacy: Your financial information stays private
- Speed: Lightning Network payments are instant
- Future-Proof: Building the payment infrastructure of tomorrow
Philosophical Alignment
More importantly, Bitcoin payments attract the right type of clients. People who understand Bitcoin tend to understand:
- The value of long-term thinking
- The importance of taking personal responsibility
- The power of delayed gratification
- The necessity of doing your own research
These are exactly the qualities that make someone successful in fitness training. When someone is willing to learn about Bitcoin, send their first transaction, and pay for coaching with it, I know they have the mindset to transform their body.
The 10% Bitcoin Discount: Here's Why
I offer a 10% discount for Bitcoin payments because I want to incentivize the behavior I respect. When you choose Bitcoin, you're demonstrating:
- Forward-thinking: You're not stuck in legacy financial systems
- Skin in the game: You've invested time to learn and acquire Bitcoin
- Low time preference: You're thinking long-term about both money and health
- Personal responsibility: You're not relying on banks or credit cards
That discount isn't just a marketing gimmick—it's my way of rewarding the mindset that leads to success in every area of life.

Beyond Payments: Building the Future
Accepting Bitcoin isn't just about payment processing—it's about building the future we want to see. Just like I train athletes to become the best versions of themselves, Bitcoin is helping humanity become the best version of our financial system.
Every Bitcoin transaction is a vote for:
- Financial sovereignty over financial dependence
- Sound money over inflationary currency
- Personal responsibility over institutional reliance
- Global accessibility over geographic restrictions
When you pay for fitness coaching with Bitcoin, you're not just investing in your health—you're investing in a better financial future for everyone.
