I crowd surfed with one of my daughters tonight at the Jeff Rosenstock show in Brooklyn.
A life experience I didn't know I needed. Absolutely incredible time, and the band fucking loved it.
We've seen them perform around 25 times since 2017. They've watched my daughters grow up. I've always taught my kids not to be parasocial, and they aren't, but the band members genuinely love seeing us at shows.
Music is an important part of my life. I feel so fortunate that my daughters & I share common interest in some bands, and that we bond over nights like tonight. It's an incredible feeling.
These are the moments that they'll remember long after I'm gone. 🧡
Oh man, so relatable. When I'm at home, and it's quiet, I have to listen to music while eating. I've had this issue all my life, and it's fucking nuts some days.
Generational wealth.
Bitcoiners talk about it often. Building citadels, starting a multi-generational legacy.
It sounds incredible on paper, but there are two questions I find myself asking when I think about this tooic:
Who would I be if I inherited wealth?
Who will my children become when they inherit what I leave for them?
Most of us didn't come from money. We have to hustle, and our struggles define us. Our willingness to work hard & smart, to do what needs to be done for the good of our families, is a common trait amongst bitcoiners. It's what we want to instill in our children.
This doesn't mean we throw our kids out in the wilderness and see if they survive, but we do have a responsibility to make sure they understand the struggle. That they know what it's like to be in the trenches of life. That they don't take for granted that which we climbed out of when we sought a better way via #Bitcoin.
This is also why it's incredibly important for us to take care of our health, because these parental responsibilities don't end when our kids turn 18. These life lessons take decades to learn, and we need to be there for our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, should we be so lucky.
Your day will come. When it does, make sure everything you worked for is in good hands. 🧡
Spending 9 days in Manhattan to see one of my favorite bands play 7 shows at the same venue, because why not.
Work hard, but take time to enjoy things. We only get one go at this.
Doing something like this is a bucket list thing. Plus my kids are joining me this weekend for 3 of the shows, which is great.
Seeing our favorite bands has been a family staple since they were 10. I've gone to 50+ shows with them! 😆
Nice setup!
I switched to a commercial chamber vacuum sealer a while back and what a difference it makes.
They're pricer/bulkier, but totally worth it if you use it a lot.

Bro I'm still doing something like that from tips I received working at Blockchain(dot)info 😂
I think I'll follow what others are suggesting and use Opensats' address.

I was comfortable with Bitcoin being $5 forever in 2012.
I was comfortable with Bitcoin being $250 forever in 2015.
Today, I'm comfortable with $58k forever.
Forever isn't forever.
