Reflecting on my journey in bitcoin over the last 4 years.
We were made to be courageous.
When Satoshi said the problem with our society is all the trust that is needed to make it work, I think he meant all the dependence.
As children we are dependent on our parents and others to take care of us. But as we mature we are supposed to gain independence and sovereignty, but that has been lacking in our culture, it was certainly lacking in me.
In 2019 I divorced, and was going through a phase of shedding off all the things that I had been using as a crutch to avoid doing myself. It was in the frame of mind I found Bitcoin. All other interactions with it prior to being in this mindset produced no results. I had to renew my mind first.
Moving past my first halving I think about what my goals are in this epoch. As I'm able to recover the time I've lost to fiat I will spend as much of that time with my kids (whom I've only been about to see about once every three months), and dedicate myself more fully to teaching courage, independence, and sovereignty in all things, but certainly in money, time, and speech.
I will be forever grateful to Satoshi and all the plebs on nostr and in life that have helped me stay focused in my mission.
Much love to all of you and can't wait to see what the future holds. ๐งก๐
