Apart from my wife, I have no bitcoiners in meatspace to relate this to, so I’m just gonna leave this here. No one will probably read it, but I just want to get this off my chest. Who knows, maybe it will do some good and inspire someone.
I think one of the most underestimated aspects of bitcoin is how it secretly spills over into other parts of your life. Yes, bitcoin is money in the digital age, yes, it’s a finite black hole that will absorb other asset classes, yes, inflation is theft, yes, it can make a median income earner a massive millionaire when done right. But the most underrated aspect in my eyes, and this is propagated by fellas like nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs, is it made me realize how insanely valuable my time is.
When this realization occurred, I made it my number one priority to optimize for my time. So while working the fiat mines for the better part of the last decade, every time I earned a promotion or got a better job, my aim was not to earn more, but spend less time earning the same.
Yes, I could have spent more time in the mines and easily earned 2x of what I did, bought more of the coin with said earnings and be a rich fella with a much bigger car and a much bigger house by now, but you know what? Fuck that!
In stead, I got to be there for my parents, my wife and my kids, take care of them, watch them grow, do volunteer work in the local community, and pursue my hobbies, all while showing the kids that it’s OK to work for a living and contribute to society, and that it’s not normal to get retirement-rich off some crazy bet in your younger years.
Understanding the value of my time, thanks to studying bitcoin, was a life altering moment for me, and I am forever grateful for this realization. No amount of money, bitcoin or otherwise, is worth this lesson learned and the life and experiences it provided.
Who knows, with this in mind, you can look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the extremely confrontational question: what am I doing with my time?!
Beautiful post @Quackman... congratulations to you! Makes me contemplate future legacy and the important things in life. I couldn't help but think of the following Harry Chapin classic, and how not to do it. IMO, if you have little kids, one of the best things you can do is sign them up for a local sport/club and then volunteer to coach/lead. They will only be young once... filling them with a solid foundation, fun memories, and good times is priceless.
When I see images like that, the following comes to mind.
Sorry, but that photo proves or suggests nothing... seems like total bs.
This tune just needs to be posted on nostr... The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again"... meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
And, I'm really curious if Trump is going to toss the bitcoin boys a bone and pardon Ross Ulbricht. It feels like the chances are at least 50/50%. Then again, We all know when a presidential politician is lying... when their lips move.
For Ross' sake, and the bitcoin community, I hope the BTC OG is pardoned.

The script definitely had him lined up to be the next pResident. It's easier to win a class war when the majority of the people are fighting a culture war. But despite all the politicians "differences" we were left with... meet the new boss., same as the old boss.
#ManufactureTheWinWednesday:
Learn to conquer your investing emotions... and resist the greed and fomo at the tops, and view the dips as a bitcoin sale and an opportunity to get in before nation states start fighting over the remaining btc.
Better yet, DCA every day and eliminate the emotion... that way you buy every dip and every top.

The last several months have been a great nostr ride. Just going back to review some of my history and saw your post. I don't think I ever saw it... lol. Regardless, I do appreciate the info and welcome. Kudos!
lol... the irony of the likes beating the zaps 14 to 12 on this post. C'mon nostr bitches... don't let the likes win this one!
By all means, minimizing complaints and focusing on the positive is prudent, but ignoring the shit that isn't good is how you end up stepping in it. Ask anyone that lives in San Francisco.
lol... that's hilarious.

I hear you... people have lost the plot.
Agreed. Fiat Food is an amazing book on the corruption in our food regulation and how unhealthy it is. And if mom is willing/able, breast milk is by far the best baby food available. Our culture makes mom's feel guilty for doing it, and totally downplays the significant benefits.

Stack Sats Sunday
I would venture to guess that the majority of bitcoiners are not Muslim. Thus their views of the world are not Halal centered. Imagine if the Muslim world were to embrace bitcoin from a moral/ethical perspective.
Bitcoin is Halal... this is not priced in.
