Hmmm Bitcoin isn't the first rabbit hole I've gone deep down.
I've been careful not to let my obsessions overflow onto my family too much in case I was very wrong. I was also concerned for my family's long term safety. I didn't want to be known as the Bitcoin family in our small town.
There was a period where I thought it was important for them to 'eat the rainbow' of plant nutrition. Not long after that I did a complete 180 into carnivore. I've felt guilty that they missed out on some nutrition during periods of their growth. They were always a little behind on whatever new belief I was exploring.
The government wants to loan (interest free) my 17 yo daughter $25k (it's some stupid govt scheme to encourage apprentices). Last night she asked if it was a good idea to take it out.
She wants to buy frivolous things with it. I said it's a good idea if you use half of it to buy Bitcoin with it. I explained to her the difference between a productive asset & a consumption good. It was a good discussion. I told her to pursue it because Bitcoin exists.
Both my kids own Bitcoin that they purchased with their own money from their own labour. They've both experienced significant NgU but neither seem to be that interested in it.
I've often wondered if I've not been as loud & adamant about Bitcoin as I could/should have been. Every decision comes with tradeoffs.
