A brief and vague (opsec) life update....

It's been a little challenging in recent times. A new, powerfully charged relationship, amazing at times, desperately hard work at times. Too much to handle for this lover of the peaceful life, and so recently ended. Sad and not sad at the same time, if that makes sense. Still concerned for her welfare though and pondering how much help to provide and in what form. An ongoing conundrum, trying to do the right thing as best I can, while also looking out for myself, something which I may have neglected a little too much this year.

Parents are getting old and with that come many challenges. Again, how much help to give and how much personal life to sacrifice? I’ve gone heavy on the latter, with a great impact on my own quality of life. But it feels like the right thing to do. I’m sure sometime in the future I’ll be glad of the sacrifices I’m currently making, to spend time with them while I can. Life is short, old age is brutal and time with loved ones is priceless. I don’t think I’ll regret my decisions in years to come.

And bitcoin - jeez, thank goodness for bitcoin. Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to have made the decisions I have made. Most importantly, it’s allowed me to provide comfort to loved ones. Bitcoin doesn’t fix all of the above, but it has made things one hell of a lot easier. Being my own bank, my savings buffered from interference by governments and banks and anyone else who would try to dilute my purchasing power or steal the fruits of my labors by some other nefarious means - a real blessing.

Who gives a fuck what the price is right now? It’s ten years from now which really matters. Buy, zoom out, hodl. Simple. Your ageing parents, kids, spouse, friends or anyone else you give a shit about will thank you later. Or they might not, but you’ll thank your younger self. But more than 20% of us here know that already, right
