Bitcoin's ability to increase purchasing power over time
Is going to enable a whole generation of men to be father's
Rather than 1000's of hours working
They'll be more in control of their time
And therefore be able to focus more on the needs of their kids
A blessing to be a part of
I like this, however I’d like to encourage those men to first BE men. George Gilder in the book Men and Marriage writes, “Civilization is built by men with families to feed.”
1) Get married (no you won’t find the perfect one or be “ready”)
2) Start having children, lots of them
3) Train them up in the Lord, daily
4) When you’re exhausted and wondering how in the world can you do this… you’re right where you need to be. Keep going, it gets better
how do you know which one if it's not the perfect one ?
Just an opinion, choose wisely, but choose. Don’t miss the beauty in front of you because something or someone else might be more perfect. Ask me how I know.
did you come back to your college sweetheart 10 years later when you stopped chasing ideals?
let's hear it
Later today, children a priority at the moment
So in a nutshell I didn’t have a high school or college sweetheart, it was more a blurr. I didn’t marry until age 40, because the examples shown to me were that marriage doesn’t work. I wish that were different, and I had regrets about not marrying someone years ago but that faded eventually and I did learn a lesson. Thankfully Jesus found me. Then I saw what His true love is. After that more things clicked, including my real desire to be married and begin my family.
Being a single child from a broken family, I wanted to stay married and not provide an example for my children in the way my parents had shown me. I would learn that I have to (!) live out my faith so our kids would see it, marinate in it and live it as they grow up, so that they would then know it. Of course they need to own their faith. Teach you children well (CSN), who borrowed it from scripture “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it” proverbs 22:6
Dare I assume here that I am writing this to the questioner who is a younger man? Faith or not, here’s a question you don’t have to respond to. What’s in your way? What holds you back? Fear? Maybe the culture is underneath the skin too deep? Jesus penetrates the soul because man in his strength can do nothing (though we fight that do we not?) The grass withers and the flower fades but the word of the Lord will live forever.
It’s time to live boldly, men. What are you waiting for?
powerful story, thank you for sharing. I'm in awe of the power of Jesus.
it does speak well to His cause that he seems to have such a good influence on people! having children really does seem to be the ultimate end of man...
actually i've heard a catechism that "man's chief end is to glorify God", but interesting that God would then reflect that back into encouraging man to have a family.
in my case, i'm mid 30s, and I'm taking some steps to shed my old skin and change my culture. i don't know if that results in marriage or just "permanent bachelor" status as a gay guy coming out of a relationship and straightening my ways to the catholic doctrine. i felt called to do that. not sure about further instructions
Thanks for your honesty. May I recommend Secret Thoughts of An Unlikely Convert by Rosaria Butterfield. She has quite a story you may appreciate.
Not sure about Catholic doctrine however the Westminster Shorter Catechism question 1 is: What is the chief end of man? A: the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. So, marrying and having a family does glorify God, the family enjoys the blessing of children and the cycle continues. Having six children, two who are adopted changed my life for the better. Do it brother. This little girls changed my heart👇. Another absolutely beautiful story. Grace and peace 
If people spent more time and effort on being the one, rather than finding the one, we'd see a lot more marital and familial success.
I second that.
Amen to all this. Will have a look at that book
Amen. Here i am on our new land as a new father. Almost didn't happen. Thank God for his blessings and tools like bitcoin that work for good. 
Can you teach me about the process of getting land? Why? How? Etc
Keen to do something similar!
We purchased a home that had some land. We did it to have our own space, a home for our new family, more privacy, somewhere to grow food, raise animals, run a business from. We both like to build, myself Structures and homes, my wife gardens. This gives us so much more freedom.
Hopefully we can hold onto the land. The government definitely wants to take it away from people. Time will tell.
We saved for a lot of years. We got a private loan from family for the rest. I don't like debt.
Hope that helps.
To be completely honest, the one thing that made our dream come true was deep sincere prayer about it and sharing our intentions for the land with God. God made a way for it to become reality when what we wanted seemed impossible
Thank you so much for sharing
God is good.
Psalm 37:3-11
