Spending time in nature prepares you to be more self-reliant and responsible in other areas of life.

If you spend enough time in the mountains, the ocean or on rivers you know that nature is both beautiful and dangerous at the same time. You cannot have one without the other. One false step or moment of poor judgment could lead to a serious injury or worse.

The same goes taking self custody of your bitcoin. If you want to harness bitcoin’s beauty (and functionality) you must take responsibility. There is no way out and the consequences of making just 1 mistake are grave. Even if you survive losing your bitcoin, you still lose all the time and energy you can’t get back.

Just a random thought from a hike today.
