Indépendance.

As far as I can remember, I've always enjoyed doing my own thing, on my own terms.

I wanted to go to a private school for a better education and play high level hockey. My parents didn't have the money for me to go to a non-public school or pay for the goalie equipment. At the age of 12, I got a job as a newspaper boy, got up every morning at 5am, and delivered my clients their paper by 6am. I paid for both my schooling and hockey.

Funny enough, while I was a kid, I cared a lot about my education, but by the time I hit high school (grade 10), all I wanted was to skip class, which I did constantly. I found school incredibly boring and useless. I think that's when I realized that I loved education, but hated school.

Bitcoin gives me financial independence. No one can take it away from me, and it goes whether I go. With it, I am free.
