 i have a confession, some of you know this but I work in corporate finance 🤢, but also I love my job.

to the finance guys I'm the crazy Bitcoin person, to the Bitcoiners I don't exist because all finance people bad 
 #NotAllFinancePeople 🧡 
 thank you, I feel seen, stack sats stay humble, finance bros are just misunderstood  
 But definitely all bitcoiners are crazy lmao 
 It's the best part about us 
 You good Sir 🫂💜 
 🤝 🫂 it’s ok hodlcuban

I’m a doc so naturally many here assume I want to inject them with bill gates’ semen or some shit like that 
 I only know that you know your 🏀 🫂 
 I only know peak era basketball 🤣 
 Wait you don't?

Well that's a weight off my shoulders. 
 fr that’s alot of semen for one deltoid to handle 
 I don't like that you pluralized Bill Gate's name, is there more than one of those ghouls? 
 fat fingers…but maybe 
 That's just how you form a possessive off a word that ends in 's' 

Unless... 👀👀 
 no you're right.  I was too focused on not wanting more of him. 
 I totally understand 
 😮‍💨  
 There is one other Bitcoiner at my company that I uncovered last year.  He’s retiring now and nobody else can understand why.  So hard not to tell people “it’s because he bought bitcoin like i told you to do”.o 
 Loving what you do is the dream!! 🦾🦾 
 Yes, I gave up a leadership role and money to build financial solutions for teams at a company I love and it's gone well 
 That’s awesome!! It’s inspiring when people take principled stances and it works out for them. I’ll be praying that everything continues to go well 🫂🌻💜 
 More finance people SHOULD be Bitcoiners, strange they don't get it. 
 Do you get to wear nice suits? Make sure to only wear orange suits so they know you are built different 💪 
 Hell no, I hate suits ... I do wear vests though 😂 
 What's your value prop to customers? And would your job exist without the existence of the money printer?

 If you can answer positively to both of these questions, then I'm sure you are doing good work.  
 value prop to customers external and internal would exist without the printer 

my job is to help people in the business make decisions that can be both profitable to the company and valuable to customers 
 Corporate finance & bitcoiner in Cuba!!!

Wow you really are my HERO!!! 
 There is nothing wrong in helping to maximize shareholder value while striking a balance between risk and profitability. 
Keep doing what you are good at which allows you to keep stacking. 
The fact that you love your job is a bonus 😎 
 As an ex finance person, I see you!!!! 🫂

 Understand, we'll just have to live parallel never intersecting npub lives 
 I hope you saw the JUST JOKING.   
 Are they telling you at work these last days that you are being "so lucky" with bitcoin?

I have learned to love the way they say it (instead of feeling they have a lack of knowledge, what is true anyway)
