 Sometimes I think this way and then I remind myself that all of the best things in life are cheap or free. Trips to the ice cream shop, playing at the park. Hiking. Biking as a family, going to get a hamburger and fries etc… 

Kids don’t need trips to Europe or whatever. That’s shit that adults want. Kids like regular life. 

You also don’t know what unseen benefits being marginally poorer are providing you. 

For instance I could have bought a home with a bedroom for every kid and probably still will at some point. But the bunk beds and shared bedrooms my kids have increase their bonding when they’re young making it likely for them to be closer when they’re older. 

TLDR Hodl 

You said forever. Time to mean it.

 Best I can do is 33 more years. 

I mean of course I’m never selling. And you’re right, particularly about the travel, my kids hate traveling. 

The home, on some land, living a pretty different homesteadesque lifestyle is probably what gets to me more. Because that I see as an improvement to daily life. But that’s in my head, not theirs, they’re very happy right where we are because it’s all they know. Thanks buddy.

 The kids just want you man, they just want their dad. 

They want you to take them out to pizza and ask them about their day. 

Life is simple. No need to over complicate it.

 Facts. Weekly game/movie nights. Toss in a camping trip here and there. Simpler the better. Be present though.. they know the difference.

 You said on an interview that you made a deal with God, that if the Bitcoin thing worked you would be his. Here I can see that you're holding up your end of the deal. Helpful to me as I'm opening my Bible while the family's asleep, thanking God for Bitcoin but praying that I wouldn't be so distracted with it. I want my kids to grow up to seek God with all their heart. The purpose of Bitcoin is to NOT have to think about money. Lots of love to you.

 Needed this today. Was just searching for American HODL clips on YouTube

 This is a great point thanks. 

Some of my best memories as a kid were sharing bunk beds and a room with my brother. We chose a smaller house to HODL and just had our first.
