I gotta say I understand this.

And I realized money does not mean shit. We all say it... but something happened to nail it in.

-snip-

But here's the thing... ...with the effects of the shock peaking wondering if I was going to make it - I thought a few very powerful thoughts.

I thought of my Father, Mother and Sister. How I loved them.
I thought of my daughters. And I think this is when I began to weep a little. I wanted to see them grow up.
I thought of my warm, loving wife and how our lives are so intertwined, and I really really did not want to leave her alone.
I thought of God and the life He had given me (no offense to you atheists. Wink

and how much I really did not think I was done with it yet.

That was it. That was ALL OF IT.

I did not think about my job, my things, my problems, or anything or anyone else. Those things... those PEOPLE. That was all that went through my mind.

And I did not think about Bitcoin at all. Not at all.

-snip-

Unfortunately for most of us it take this sort of epiphany to wake up to what I believe are fundamental truths.

+5 WOsMerit's for sharing that touching story.

I have to admit I almost jerked a tear out there. Be there for your family and friends. The rest is dross.

Bitcoin can consume your life like Gollum and the Ring, lot of bitcoiners lose sight of whats really important in life. No one is immortal, your all going to be in the ground eventually.

Speak for yourself, ducky.

I've already paid to have my crotch frozen. It may well be chucked in the incinerator as soon as there are enough confirmations but you never know.
