I feel your pain Maria 💯x. Not sure this the most helpful approach, but I've stopped bringing it up to my fam members a few years ago.
The result of this approach is that it becomes increasingly more difficult to engage with them in most other conversations meaningfully. I.e. grocery bills/inflation, financial advice (do you think Nvidia is a good investment?) the obesity epidemic in our country, and the list of topics that get taken off the table becomes quite extensive the longer you've been on your #BTC journey.
Let me know how you make it out. If I find an approach that works, I'll be sure to share as well.
I think only a student of #Bitcoin would get the irony of that statement (the second part).
Context: The state of NY is out control with its regulatory and tax mandates that are being forced on it's residents.

When my phone is on, it's always on vibrate (therefore on my person).
Old folks have all kinds of audible ringers and there phones are usually not where they are 👀

Good morning and happy Friday #Nostr fam.
For some it's a day off, others a get-ahead day and many it's just another day of mining fiat.
Whichever one you're having today, make it a banging one, bc it's the only 7/5/24 you'll ever have.
#CoffeeChain #GrowNostrr 🌞☕⛏️👍🏽💜🫂
Good morning #Nostr fam. A quiet morning in my 🌍. Woke at 5:30'ish but stayed laid down until 8:30'ish. 👀 Good to do that occasionally.
Make today a fine day 🌞☕🙏🏽💜🫂

1, son, 2 sisters.
I love them, but we think differently.
One sister popped into my office and was showing me a youtube video of a gay guy in a shower cap pretending to speak french. (we all speak fluent french) But she thought it was funny and it was like a 10 second video.
I was like....you interrupted my day for this?!
But in reality, I fake laughed and said "wow, that's funny."
Bc I love my sisters and my parents.
The TLDR; our parents f@ck us ALL up (daughters and sons).
Recognize and understand...YOU CAN'T WIN THIS DEBATE.
Let the hate spew.
#Amethyst is the source of truth from my perspective. Right or wrong.
Oh, and I'm not that smart. 👀
Just studying history.
This may be a duplicate #Nostr rnote. sorry about that if it cost you some seconds.
"yes there are many typos and grammos, but I have big hands and a small phone.
so there's that.

Treat a Democratic Republic cheaply and you will get cheap reasults.

I haven't personally voted for a presidential election since Obama first term.
My daughter was enthused and I knocked on doors with her.
And let's be honest, he was a black dude with a Muslim name. Yeah it's f*@ked up. But I did.
I will stop what I'm doing to go out and vote for this dude. Yes, he's a politician and will likely not free anyone or deliver on anything he's talking about before he is captured by the.....
But he's not making promises that are too difficult to deliver on.

The only thing worst then a mom with one son, is a mom with 3 sons.
Relationships between Mom and sons are different between relationships between Mom and daughters.

Can someone add a #Nostr note between dads and daughters....please.
I have friends and family members in every combination that works or used to work for the alphabet soup.
I used to contract for the alphabet soup.

4 months ago, my mom stopped taking all (about 13 different meds) that her docs were prescribing that were getting auto refilled and delivered to the house and had her eat what I was eating.
This equaled improvements every week, week after week.
*****Disclaimer, NOT MEDICAL ARVICE."***********
I put a teeny weeny bit of a vodka martini in Mom's "water" today. Told her not to let my sisters or anyone else know.
👀
Yeah....that. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Wakes up, and walking through diningroom to let the dog out, toothbrush in hand.
4 "people" at the table (hadn't had my coffee yet, so wasnt sure who or cared who.
No "good morning" from anyone.
"Hey, can you....[ Insert something about download here ].....we have like 12 minutes."
To me it was just all mumble...again no coffee yet, and I'm not particularly chatty in the mornings.
I respond, "Good morning all, I'm going to take a shower and brush my teeth now."
Again one repeats "but we only have 12 minutes."
I walk to the bathroom with my toothbrush and take a nice cook shower. I think it was exactly 13 minutes long.
Yeah, so some folks have attitudes this morning.
But I don't and my coffee is delish.
Good morning #Nostr Fam.

Eeesh. Long day. GN 🥱🛏️💤
Yes, perhaps that is the crux of it all.
Why did I suddenly need to wear reading glasses at the age of about 43'ish.
I spent 8 hours today reviewing and editing contracts. Yup, that does. Good money, but it'll cost you your vision over time.
The deals we make to stack sats. SMH!
It's expanded on my understanding of:
Finance/economics
Psychology
Sociology
History
Health
Business
Religion
Government
And on top of that it only cost me time. There were no student loans or tuition to pay. Just my time.
Oh and my journey into the #BTC rabbit hole (in earnest) probably 3+ years.
Today I realized that the #BTC rabbit hole has enlightened me more than 20+ years of formal education and 50+ years of life.
Anyone else feel the same?!

While it looks a bit butchered, actually a really nice pic of the old and new guard.
