The FIRE movement has a word problem. We talk about "retirement" like it's the finish line. But ask anyone who actually got there — doing nothing gets old fast. There's only so much golf you can play before that lifestyle feels like another routine you need to escape. My friend Kane McGukin reframed it for me: don't retire — re-tire. Swap out your worn treads and drive toward work that fills you with purpose — the things you'd do even if nobody paid you. We created "retirement age" nearly a century ago alongside the 40-hour workweek. We've been running on those same tires while the world changed completely around us. FIRE was never about quitting work forever. It's about reaching the point where you choose your work instead of your work choosing you. Bitcoin accelerates that timeline, but the destination has always been freedom to do meaningful things — not freedom from doing anything at all. The goal is to re-tire: new treads, new road, real purpose. I break this down in FIRE BTC with a guest post from Kane. https://firebtc.io/p/time-to-re-tire
