Sold baklava for Bitcoin in 2011

I guess my teens just really sucked.

Felt like a downgrade after the 80s

We were still high on the 80s

Yeah, but the 80s was kinda magical.

Unpopular opinion, but the 90s kinda sucked.

The biggest thing I miss about the early days tbh

In elementary school I would spend my entire week's worth of lunch money on candy, and 2x it by Wednesday. 😂

Bitcoiners were the kids in school that ran a candy store out of their backpacks.

It was a lot of fun entering a world I was completely unfamiliar with. I learned so much about flying and about myself. Really loved the experience!

I have so much more respect for professional pilots after my time spent as a student pilot. ✌️

I flew a lot, but didn't bother getting my private pilot's license. The idea of flying myself around sounds nice, but the reality is I'm not cut out for it.

And that's ok.

Maybe I'll get the itch again down the road. Until then, I'll leave flying to the professionals. 😅

Two years ago today I woke up, drove to the local airport, & flew a C172 by myself for the first time.

I chose to conquer my biggest fear. Not easy, & not very fun those first few months, but an unforgettable experience.

Step outside your comfort zone. You won't regret it.

The Interrupters self titled album is as libertarian punk rock as it gets.
