 Digitally my stats are very good. But not so much irl. No man is a prophet in his own land. 
 I stopped trying to help years ago & it brought much peace. 
I buy for my family members that don’t know I’m doing it & will give BTC to them in the distant future. 
Outside of family I don’t give a shit to be honest. Buy stocks or ETF’s or the S&P or keep in savings. I DONT CARE. 
 Dude.   “No man is a prophet in his own land” is fuckin’ spot on. 
 From experience It’s so fucking true. 
 Sounds prophetic. 
 I ended up reading the gospel this morning as a result of this.  I’m trying to believe yet still do not.  In any case it was a fun read this morning while my family slept. 
 This is a very liberating approach I totally agree. It seems to go hand-in-hand with length of HODL

Once you first really “get Bitcoin” it seems so insanely amazing all you want to do is talk about it

But over time you realise that many other people don’t care, won’t care for some time, & your time is more valuable elsewhere 
 Ones nearest and dearest can the be the hardest to teach 

This applies in many areas. Eg I got qualified as a ski teacher as a teenage, last person my siblings wanted coaching from was me!
