Man. I don't have kids and that day seems pretty far away for me right now, but this gave me some emotion I didn't know I have. This is beautiful.
Also, not sure how into Pokemon she is (tv shows/collecting cards/playing cards/video games), but something that I think she might love based on what you say, that could also be a great bonding exercise for you to be involved in, learn to play Pokemon TCG. It's the physical card game. I used to play it with my dad and I'm getting teary eyed thinking back on the excitement from building decks, to bending the rules between us, even sometimes making a story to go along with the game.
If you get a starter deck (specifically the My First Battle deck), it's super easy to learn. Their official product guide is very helpful too. Then there's a world of memories to be made from there.
I don't work for Pokemon, I am not affiliated any way, this looks like an ad or commercial, but it's not. Your post just moved me so much that I thought back to that beautiful time and if she already loves it like you say, then this would be fun for both of you like it was for me.
Go catch 'em all!
Another thing you can do.. Just help people. One of the hardest things for me when I was getting into Bitcoin was the toxicity. Which… I understand it now, but to a new comer who doesn’t know what’s going on, that sucks!
Browse forums, Twitter, Nostr, and answer questions if you’re good in that area. If you want, try to make tutorials. That could also help you find where you fit.
I started by writing a blog called “Explain Bitcoin Like I’m Five” and I only published one or two before I realized, I’m not a long form writer. Then I wanted to make hardware wallet tutorials, but figured out that they’re much harder to teach someone else than to learn. But BTC Sessions has that gift. Then I tried to make a podcast (surprise) that never even recorded. All that funneled me into comedy content and also Bitcoin mining. I just kept failing forward.
Power users are great. I was unofficially a Damus test dummy where I would purposefully try to break the app so I could tell the smarter people who work on it exactly what happened.
You never know, you noticing a small bug in one of these niche apps could lead to the next big prod update for reasons you don’t know.
YO!!! I actually wrote out a whole panel about this EXACT TOPIC! You can and should contribute to bitcoin as a non dev or finance bro!
You don’t have to write the most amazing BIP or post a substack predicting the exact price with a bunch of charts, whatever you are doing… Just put bitcoin on top of it. The rest snowballs from there.
Take Ben Justman. He has a vineyard and incorporates bitcoin into some of his label designs, he accepts it, advertises it, etc.
Ainsley Costello (one of many in this category) is trying to revolutionize how the music industry works by taking the middle man from between audiences and creators.
I personally made a comedy show that had bitcoiner guests on it because tensions were high and we all needed a laugh.
There are endless possibilities to contribute to bitcoin if you want! And the best part is, there are no rules!
I love that you asked this and now I can show Bitcoin Magazine that my panel idea wasn’t stupid 😂
This was great! Covered all my main points, or at least helped me figure out where I need to go from here! Thanks so much for taking the time!
It's such a crazy operating system because you can have the most beautiful out-of-the-box desktop computer with Linux Mint, but then have to build your computer from the ground up with Arch Linux.
(Full disclosure, those are the only two distros I've deep dived)
Interesting. It's been a while since I've researched or done anything with IPFS, but as a data hoarder, media preservationist, and citizen archivist, this is very appealing to me. I'll be looking into this. Thanks for sharing.
I'm not crazy about basketball all that much, but being surrounded by it when I lived in Denver made me follow the Nuggets. So I guess you could say I'm a casual?
I go through an extremely intense like 2 month sudoku addiction like once a year or something (idk probably autism) and it looks like it's coming back again
I'm looking at Twitter and it overall seems extremely optimistic. I'm seeing some people say at best it could be a 4 to 6 week recovery, at worst, ACL out for the season. Probably won't know for sure until tomorrow. This is devastating.
Yeah I like where your head is at. I got it because there's just something about the look and feel of one of those analog instant captures that I can hang on the fridge. But now that I have some cool shots, I want to translate that raw detail into the digital world in full quality. So I am 100% working backwards! I think it may be a fools errand to capture full quality digitally.
Thanks for the link for the wide Evo! That does look sick and I definitely think I still might snag one.
Am I correct in saying that at (about) $37.20/PH/day, which is the current hashprice, it's technically never been more difficult to be profitable?
I don't like to think about how a team in Florida won the hockey championship two years in a row XD
