@infofront: Pick it in terms of defining it, or picking one from a predefined set of (already prepared) polls?

I was buying bitcoins!!

Your timestamp 1619633791
My timastmap 1619633792

Choose the poll... infofront didn’t put any conditions so it’s open for you.

Hmm, i'm still thinking...
No idea Roll Eyes

If you have a good poll on your mind, i'd let you choose.

Who else owns Bitcoin among your closed ones?
1. I’m alone
2. Me and my partner
3. My family and close friends
4. All of my circle owns some

Or

What’s your estimated price to sell your Bitcoins at least 50%
1. Next ATH
2. $100k
3. $250k
4. $500k
Or you going to HODL and die with your bitcoins? Don’t do this please...

Edit:
Or may be more generalized
What’s your estimated price to sell your Bitcoins at least 50%
1. Next ATH
2. $100-$150k
3. $200-$300k
4. $500k+

I think the first one is a good idea.
All the ideas i already had for a poll were already asked.
On the other hand, my mind is occupied with family probs at the time.
One of the sons is underperforming at school. It's not that he isn't clever, but he thinks he is way better than he really is. And when he's confronted with his low skills after writing tests, he's just sad. Not that he can be motivated to learn his stuff, but he remembers hundreds of names and details of pokemon, while he can't even accurately convert simple units (tons,kilograms,dekagrams,grams) - it's almost like dyscalculia. He gets it right one time out of four, by accident. $34 and 20c, converted to cents result in 340002 cents, for example. Next try, 2354cents converted to dollars, his reply is correct with $23,54...
He has a military grade maths teacher, too. I get a call from her every few weeks Roll Eyes

I was helping many loser students in programming and computer science class, they were F's and made it to B,C's and some even found their new favorite hobby in coding. I'm good at teaching, i always tried hard to be a good teacher, but anything i try to teach him just wont stick in his head.
I really started to feel kind of helpless, lately.
My weak mind is occupied by spinning thoughts around this problem.
The trial to choose a poll made me somewhat aware of it.

Very interesting. Could it be that they are used to a phone calculator, so they don't need to solve problems by thinking about it?
According to mom, I got severe food poisoning when I was a small kid, and then refused to eat typical food.
Dr. suggested to place multiple types of food in front and maybe I choose something for starters. I did. It was something weird.
The point is-maybe give him several learning options...who knows, maybe he is a football player or a poet?

My god, no

There is that app called FamilyLink, i'd recognize it if he'd be using that calculator app on his phone.
He would fail at the basics, constructing correct input values. I refuse so much to think as an "Idiot" about him, this is how kids were seen when i was that young.
I would be glad to find the key to his door that blocks him from using his brain efficiently, while i can not name anything he has like "talent".
He is quite a daydreamer, he's reading all the time, but he is not a good writer at all.
Sometimes i think about the possibility that he subconsciously doesn't want to become adult, for whatever reason. Once he said to me that he doesn't want to become a teenager and that he will hate puberty.
We're not the kind of parents that try to break him, just to make him obey to the (mostly stupid) rules of this particular society. We were both raised that way and because of this we broke out of it, so fuck that. The main concern is that we will have to see him struggling with the school/work/life system for years to come, before he will hopefully develop his yet undiscovered strength(s).

Did you ever think maybe you are the problem?

You sure don't have a high opinion of him, he will know this and it will lower his self esteem.

Give him some practical stuff to do.

Ride his bike, take him shooting, fishing. Help out with a home improvement project, let him use real tools.

Let him help service your vehicle, or even drive it if he is big enough, cook the family meal.

Buy him a fun electronic kit that requires the use of a soldering iron.

Most of all show the boy some respect.

Yes, i am indeed self-reflected in that kind that i questioned if i am the problem, not only once.
I love him, the same like my other children, they are all special and i am able to help them with support, attention, sharing time and respect them all. I don't even compare them, because they are too different that it would make any sense. I actually take him to fishing, we let him make pancakes for all of us, at least every two weeks, he has his own set of carving knife. We didn't do things to lower his self esteem, for sure. H isn't really interested in practical things. He's a dreamer, and that's also nothing i/we don't value.
Me and my wife are educated when it comes to children and how they see and interact with their environment. She is actually a therapist, working with young adults, but she knows what's going on in a kids life, has worked with kids and teenagers before. I hated school as a kid. I didn't do much homework, but i knew my stuff and that was enough to pass. That's why i don't think he's only a good child when he is good at school. But he's doing very hard. Some day he came home crying, with his first F on a maths exam. We didn't make a fuzz about it. We never did. We're not that kind of persons. We don't blame him, we just try, try, try.
He's a cool, friendly, funny dude, who likes to laugh a lot, like everyone in our family. Laughing and fun was always important to us, we're not serious if we don't really need to.
But i will watch closely if i/we are disrespectful to him, in any way. At the time i'd be not aware of anything like that, we also don't try to force him to "be some way".
