Hello everyone!

I'd like to meet and discuss with fellow bitcoiners who have children. I think that the ideals of freedom begin with the family and only make sense when looked at through this personal lens. Many people within the Bitcoin community, beginning with Satoshi himself, subscribe to the ideal of individual sovereignty and the Austrian School of economics. All of this is fantastic. However, when does a developing child become a sovereign individual?

If you defend the ideal of freedom and free market capitalism, should you not begin by protecting the children's individuality from elders who threaten it? Why rage against "the government" when there are actual people around you wielding a much greater power on helpless human beings? There is no easy answer to this question, but this is precisely the reason we parents need to research and talk.

A related topic, I think, is our troubles as adult bitcoiners dealing with parents and relatives who do not understand. Traditionally, parents have trouble granting their children the freedom we crave. There is an interesting interplay between our relationships with our parents and our relationships with our children. I hope to be able to discuss and share our experiences in this legendary forum!
