Hey everyone,

In this week’s issue, I want to share the story of how I first discovered Bitcoin not through hype, but through a moment that stuck with me during one of the toughest rebuilding seasons of my life.

It’s real, it’s unexpected, and it changed everything for me.

Let’s dive into the Money Section.

💰 Money Section — How I Got Orange-Pilled in a Halfway House

Before I ever touched Bitcoin, I had already learned about Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) from the books I devoured while I was rebuilding my life.
DCA made sense to me investing small amounts consistently over time and I always planned to use it in the stock market once I got back on my feet.

Fast-forward to 2020.
I’m in the Halfway House during COVID on a work-release program, grateful to have a steady job at BJ’s Wholesale Club when everything else in the world was shutting down.

And that’s where it happened.

There was this shady character in the house the kind of guy you’d never expect to be early on anything financial and he kept bringing up Bitcoin.

Nobody else was talking about investing.
Nobody was mentioning digital assets.
But he wouldn’t stop.

And the more he talked, the more it stayed with me.
Not in an “I learned it in one night” way more like something that kept tugging at my mind days later.

I’d be on my shift at BJ’s Wholesale Club, pushing carts or stocking shelves, and it would pop back into my head:

“Why is he talking about Bitcoin? What does he know that I don’t?”

So little by little, I started digging in.
Reading.
Watching videos.
Looking up terms.
Trying to make sense of what this digital money actually was.

And slowly not overnight the dots began to connect.

That was the moment I got orange-pilled which just means the moment the truth finally made sense to me.

Not because the price was going up.
Not because of FOMO — Fear of Missing Out.
But because something inside me said:

“Pay attention. This matters.”

So what is Bitcoin, really?

Here’s the simple version, without the jargon:

Bitcoin is digital gold.

But instead of sitting in a vault, it lives on a global network secured by math, not politics.

Scarcity is the whole point.

There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin.

And here’s the part most people don’t realize:

Over 19 million Bitcoin have already been mined.

Less than 2 million are left to enter the world,
spread out from now until the year 2140.

That means Bitcoin isn’t just scarce
it’s running out.

This fixed, unchangeable supply is why people compare Bitcoin to gold
but its scarcity is even harder, more predictable, and mathematically locked in.

Bitcoin is backed by truth and math.

Gold is backed by physics.
Bitcoin is backed by code, cryptography, and a transparent rulebook anyone in the world can verify.

No surprises.
No “extra printing.”
No new supply magically appearing.

For someone like me rebuilding life one step at a time that kind of financial honesty meant something.

But here’s the part that really grabbed me the deeper I went:

Bitcoin has no boss.
No CEO.
No office.
No one in charge who can change the rules on you.

That blew my mind.

Every money system I grew up with had gatekeepers, banks, governments, people in suits deciding what happens to your dollars while you’re just trying to survive.

Bitcoin flips that completely.

It runs on a decentralized network of thousands of computers all over the world…
and not a single one of them has the power to control the whole thing.

Nobody can:

  • freeze your account

  • delete your balance

  • inflate the supply

  • or shut the system down

It’s money that doesn’t need permission.

For someone like me rebuilding life from the ground up, trying to stand on my own two feet again that idea hit different.

A financial system that treats everyone the same?
Where the rules don’t change depending on who you are?
Where you don’t need perfect credit or a perfect past to participate?

Yeah… I felt that.

Decentralization is the soul of Bitcoin.
It’s why people trust it.
Not because someone powerful says it’s valuable…
but because no one person can control it.

And just to be clear… I’m not a Bitcoin maxi.

I love Bitcoin for what it is the digital gold of our time,
but I also believe other digital assets have important roles to play.
We’ll explore those in future issues.

But I do have one personal mission:

My goal is to own one whole Bitcoin someday.

Thanks for being part of my journey to get there
one Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) step at a time.

Quick note: I’m not a financial advisor I’m just sharing my journey, what I’m learning, and what’s helping me rebuild. Always do your own research and make the moves that feel right for you.

🙏 Faith Section — Wisdom for the Journey

One thing I’ve learned in this life is that God will nudge you long before you understand why.
Sometimes it’s a feeling.
Sometimes it’s a moment that won’t leave your mind.
And sometimes it’s a shady guy talking about Bitcoin in a Halfway House.

But the discernment?
That part is spiritual.

When I was rebuilding my life, this verse carried me:

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God… and it will be given to him.” — James 1:5

Wisdom isn’t about being perfect.
It’s not about having the right past.
It’s about being willing to learn.
Being willing to pay attention.
Being willing to ask God for clarity when something keeps tugging at your heart.

That’s exactly what happened with my Bitcoin journey.
It wasn’t hype.
It wasn’t fear.
It was discernment a quiet sense that I needed to look deeper.

And honestly?
That same wisdom is what guides me today in everything I build:

  • CodeBreeze

  • Content

  • Magic

  • Investing

  • My comeback story

  • And this newsletter you're reading right now

If God says He’ll give wisdom freely, then I’m going to keep asking.

And I’m grateful you’re here as I keep learning, growing, and rebuilding one step at a time.

💻 CodeBreeze Corner — Building While Rebuilding

When I started over, I didn’t have much but I did have discipline, curiosity, and a belief that if I kept learning, something good would come out of it.

That’s how CodeBreeze Solutions LLC was born.

Not in a fancy office.
Not with investors.
Just me, a laptop, and a decision to create something from scratch while working shifts at BJ’s and rebuilding my life piece by piece.

CodeBreeze became more than a business.
It became part of my comeback.

Every app I build…
every client I help…
every new feature I learn…
it all reminds me that growth doesn’t happen overnight it happens from showing up consistently, just like Dollar-Cost Averaging.

Right now I’m focused on:

  • leveling up my apps and services

  • building Gabriel into a more advanced chatbot

  • refining pricing so it reflects the value

  • creating real tools that help real people

Small steps compound.
Skill compounds.
And CodeBreeze is proof that you can build a future while you’re still rebuilding yourself.

If you or someone you know needs a clean, custom app or website,
that’s what I do at CodeBreeze Solutions LLC.

I build everything myself no outsourcing, no fluff just solid work at fair prices.
And if you need me, email is always the fastest way to reach me.

Rebuilding anywhere I go even on vacation

🍕 New Haven Corner — Pizza, People, and a Little Magic

If you’ve never been to New Haven, here’s something you need to know:
we don’t just like pizza we built an entire identity around it.

New Haven isn’t called the Pizza Capital of America for nothing.

That title goes back over a century, starting with the old Italian bakeries and coal-fired ovens that put this city on the map. What people call “apizza” today that crispy, blistered crust with fresh ingredients was born right here.

Most folks know the famous three:

  • Modern Apizza

  • Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana

  • Sally’s Apizza

But what outsiders don’t realize is this:

🍕 New Haven has dozens of incredible pizza spots —

small neighborhood shops, hidden gems, family places, and local favorites you only hear about by living here.

Everyone’s got a strong opinion about which one is the “real” number one…
and honestly, that’s part of what makes this place special.

New Haven isn’t just a city it’s a community with flavor, fire, and history baked right into every slice.

And once spring rolls around (when it’s finally warm enough to film outside without freezing), I’m planning something fun:

🎩 I’ll be doing quick street-magic routines outside some of New Haven’s legendary pizza spots.

Floating roses.
Lifesavers.
Simple visual magic that sparks joy and conversation.

I want to capture:

  • reactions

  • laughter

  • surprised faces

  • and even a few pizza debates

All while highlighting the places that make New Haven… New Haven.

Because magic belongs to the streets.
And this city is the perfect stage.

“Modern Apizza, New Haven, CT — taken on my walk to work.”

🎩 Magic Section — Break Time With Mo Magic

Magic has been part of my comeback since before the comeback even began.
It kept me creative when life felt heavy.
It gave me joy when money was tight.
And it reminded me that wonder is still alive even in a break room at BJ’s Wholesale Club.

Lately I’ve been practicing:

  • Floating roses

  • The lifesaver routine

  • Quick visual pieces that hit hard on camera

It’s not perfect yet some attempts hit, some miss, and I’m still dialing in the timing.
But that’s all part of the grind.

What matters is this:
every time I practice, the timing gets smoother.
Every time I film, the confidence grows.
Every attempt is one rep closer to the version I see in my head.

And when spring comes, I’ll be taking it outside doing street magic around New Haven’s pizza spots and capturing real reactions.
Magic + community + culture = that’s where the fun really starts.

Break Time With Mo Magic is just getting started.

💭 Mindset — Small Steps Still Count

One thing this whole journey has reminded me from rebuilding my life, to learning Bitcoin, to launching CodeBreeze is that progress rarely feels dramatic in the moment.

Most of the time, it’s quiet.

It’s reading one more chapter when you’re tired.
It’s saving a little when the market is red.
It’s putting in one more hour on a project nobody sees yet.
It’s practicing a magic routine that keeps breaking until suddenly… it doesn’t.

Consistency beats intensity.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) taught me that.
Faith taught me that.
Life taught me that.

If you’re rebuilding anything right now money, mindset, purpose, confidence don’t underestimate small steps.
They compound.
They add up.
They change you.

You don’t have to have everything figured out today.
Just keep moving.
Just keep stacking — whatever your “currency” is.

📩 Wrap-Up — Until Next Time

Thanks for reading.
I really mean that.

This issue covered a lot — Bitcoin, faith, CodeBreeze, pizza, magic, mindset — all of the things that make up this season of my life.

Next issue, we’re talking silver and the bigger picture around scarcity.

If this issue spoke to you, share it with one person who could use some hope or a comeback story today.
That’s how this little community grows one reader at a time.

Until then:

Stay encouraged.
Stay focused.
Keep going.

And remember —
small steps, big comeback.
In Jesus’ name. 🙏
