"When you focus more on Bitcoin, you have a tendency to focus more on the things that actually matter.” - nostr:npub1qex7yjtuucs6ac49kjujdgytrjsphn5a4pdscu2w3qlprym4zsxqfz82qk

It's truly a common experience to find more honest and open conversations with people you've just met in the Bitcoin space than with those you've known for years, isn’t it?

This is the undeniable power of #Bitcoin : It brings people together around shared values and a pursuit of what truly matters. 🤝

Love this niche bitcoin podcast, because it’s so pure. The part about thinking what your grandchildren think about you is super interesting. ~42:00.

Today when we walked half the day, nostr:npub1mua2k6r9f6mf8dz8rylw4h7s4ty403ufxat0pc02kcavmxx26zgqy3xtnk on crouches with our little baby and I with Otis in the baby carrier I told her how proud I was of my grandmother. And her 13 children, when my mom was 7 years old her father died.

One of my uncles worked day and night to make sure everyone had enough and had a severe burnout.

My mom remembers that after working many days without sleep he kept on praying at some point at the bed. It had a huge impact on her as a small child.

That uncle built one of the largest civil contracting businesses a long time ago.

The family businesses, fights and celebrations have been an enormous influence on me. Because they have delivered a lot of proof of work. Just like my parents have and still do.

This makes you realize and think about what you leave behind.

The pictures of my uncle are still online to be found luckily. His grandchildren built a museum for him.

It’s about proof of work. Or as nostr:npub1qex7yjtuucs6ac49kjujdgytrjsphn5a4pdscu2w3qlprym4zsxqfz82qk says, I cleaned toilets to stack sats.
