we would’ve been good friends, it was awful being so incredibly hyper aware of the important issues in our country and world, whilst having to deal with our age and the expectations of being ignorant and focusing on the childish things. me and two friends skipped school to see bernie speak in st. louis that year, it was probably the last time i felt like we the people had any power over our government and elections.

I’m also with you on the fact of not learning about bitcoin until years later, but try and not beat myself up for it as we were teenagers, we found bitcoin when we could. Thank you for putting into words how that time felt, it’s hard to describe those years to people when the moment you mention how old you were, they disregard you.
