Pondering: Can one pin down which butterfly, or is it butterflies all the way down?

Move to a new place ('93).

Meet cool neighbors that happen to need help that I could give.

Join their extended circle.

Someone in their extended circle gives neighbors little half pipe.

Learn to skate and carve pools as an "old" man (late 30s - neighbors 20s)

Spend years rolling at parks with new friend.

Weddings, kids, changes...

Friend gets rare cancer fights for 3 years, stops rolling, passes.

Friend's wife, amazing lady, finally finds love again years later; years pass.

3 years ago new husband, now dear friend as well, says, "what's up with bitcoin?"

I say it burns the ocean and should be banned, but he says go listen to this Preston Pysch guy.

Nifty blows minds, Kody was a classmate saying "gotta check out FediMint"...

Hear about Nostr, create key pair and post that I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, Jack replies that its enough that I'm just there which is the greatest lesson Lisa taught me.

Now about a year into Rabbit Hole Recap "training" I get FOSS & Open Source and I'm fucking tearing up watching this OpenSats clip, appreciating the selflessness of Ben as he presses on after realizing how hard it was going to be, then laughing at some douchebag cluelessly dissing it in the comments.

Is it fucking butterflies all the way down? I guess it doesn't really matter, thank you all for what you do!

Let's go....
