My brother in Bitcoin… I don’t want to say anything that puts another brother down, so I mean this with the best of intentions.

When you said

“Look after the people closest to you and give them all of your time, attention and love.”

I think that comes with the condition that you don’t worry how and what they think of you. I think you are describing love, and love sacrifices for the sake of the other. Should we worry what they think of us, we may lose ourselves. I’m sure many times you knew that talking to your closest friends about Bitcoin was not what they wanted, but it was what you believed would save them. A sacrifice of your likability (what they think of you, in my opinion) for their benefit.

I could be wrong about this. In that case sharpen my iron with yours (not a golf metaphor 😂). I mean well.

Enjoy the videos.

Appreciate that thank you 👊🏼

I’m mostly talking about valuing the right opinions (the people who know you best) rather than random people.

Lots of people spend their entire lives trying to impress the random people. And it holds them back from doing what they should be/want to be doing in life.

I’ve been guilty of this. In fact I was for the first 31 years of my life. And it held me back from doing what I want.

In other words, you should give a fuck what your mom, spouse, sister have to say. Because they are the ones who really know you.

Everyone else can think whatever they want it’s completely irrelevant. If you’re genuine and true to yourself, you will attract the right crowd without working for it.

In regards to bitcoin, I think that anyone who would change their opinion of you because of bitcoin doesn’t fit in that inner circle anyways.

The irons could always be sharper!

All the power to you in your pursuits. I’m glad you are here.

Short story. I once got a job for making the interviewers laugh over an answer I gave. They were very serious types, but must have heard that too much. They tried to be not so serious by explaining they were going to ask a question just for fun, but I don’t think it really was about having fun. Maybe it was a test. Not sure.

The question was “if you could only take 2 things with you, and you were going to be trapped on a desert island for years, what would you take?”

My answer

I’d take a sleeve of golf balls and a sand wedge. By the time I got out of there, I’d be better out of the sand traps than the fairway. Then maybe I could get into the 80s 😂
