The beauracracy of birth is crazy The first weeks of my son's life is filled with me sitting in various govt offices and filling out endless forms Granted, I'm getting my infant son two passports and creating as much travel flexibility for him as soon as I can so I may be seeing an extreme version of this but the system dehumanizes us from our very first day of life, and it's almost impossible to opt out ...musings from another govt waiting room...

Another Sunday morning hike up the San Salvador volcano with my son ❤️

Agreed

It was the fiat side of the bridge that caused the raid. A 'criminal' that I sold to make a bank transfer from a blacklisted account. Said criminal then set up a shell corp with my bank info to create a false lead for the police to chase I do like monero but swap btc with xmr and it would have been the same result

When I first got into Bitcoin (2013) it felt like I had found my people. I moved to England and funded grad school there by exploiting arbitrage between GDP & USD Bitcoin exchange rates via p2p selling, but more than the money (which I lost when the police eventually raided my house and seized my assets) the best part was sitting down with hundreds of strangers and chatting while we waited for the transaction to confirm. Bitcoin was rebel money. Twelve years later and so much has changed. The most viral Bitcoin posts on Twitter these days are more likely to simp for the state than to challenge it I don't get to decide who finds Bitcoin useful and for what purpose. I know that's part of it and that it needs to move beyond the niche community it once was to realize it's full potential. I know this is 'good for bitcoin' but it's also boring and unmotivating to me There is still so much signal amid the noise though. Projects such as give me so much hope that as noisy as things have become we are also building that better world that we were dreaming of back when it was just a community of rebels. I'll be using Nostr more and twitter less going forward. This reminds me more of what got me interested in Bitcoin in the first place all those years ago

Raising children teaches you so much about yourself, about all of us One week ago my second child was born. Our two-year old has been a wonderful big brother, but at times he is also having a very dificult time dealing with the change It's the same for all of us. Change is hard. We deny it, resist it and lash out against it. We just hide it better and internalize it more as we grow older The world is at a crossroads and the rate of change--already too fast for most--is accelerating. The best skill for our future world will be adaptability. My children help me see that, and as a parent I consider preparing them for that to be one of my greatest tasks I'm so excited to keep learning from my kids and to try and reflect those lessons back onto them ❤️

I am the proud father of a second baby boy Both the baby & mom are doing great My sons share a birthday so I got to celebrate one birthday in the morning and welcome a new life tonight. What a wonderful, absolutely unforgettable, day 😊

My second child will be born any hour/ day and we are preparing our son to be a big brother I read him a book titled 'I'm a big brother' as one way. I stop and ask questions and talk with him, such as...are you going to do this? Separately, I had thought, he has recently been insistent on getting in front of his stroller, bending down and very slowly and inefficiently pulling it by a bar on the front bottom. It was a confusing behavior until it just clicked this morning.... He is too short to grab the handle from behind and push so this is his way of getting ready to be a big brother like he sees in the book This guy is gonna be the best big brother ever and I'm so excited to see it 😊

This was a great listen I have so much respect for who is a revolutionary who gets sh*t done and living proof that you can build without compromising (radical) values. I think THAT is the most powerful thing about Bitcoin
