I'm a teacher. I really enjoy the feeling I get when a student has a "aha" moment and for the most part I feel I'm doing something for society. The last couple of years I have despised my work as it came to consume my life. I need to have some type of intellectual pursuit outside of work in order for me to function. I had plans to step back in 2028 post another halving with an eye on a future potential bitcoin bull run facilitating the move. But I saw this post 5 months and it moved me. Starting last week I cut my teaching hours by 40%. My wife also reduced her work hours. The net effect was to half our household income. The result was that I had the greatest working week of my life. Time to read, excerise, relax, think. Energy to play with my kids. And I didn't give one single fuck about the price action. Thanks for the post and thank you to Satoshi.
