I think advocate describes me the best. When I learn something that fascinates me, I hasten to tell people about it, only to feel a bit let down when I find that people don’t necessarily share my excitement haha

I think I’m your exact opposite: advocate and amateur.

I don’t care particularly about nailing all the details. Definitely not a perfectionist. I live by good enough and done is better than perfect.

That’s why you feel guilty taking naps haha

Did you park your WoS address here? I assume you have. Otherwise you won’t be able to receive sats.

Oh don’t worry about your English. Just be yourself. I understood your story loud and clear.

I am impressed by how you got the startup to pay you in Bitcoin! That’s my lifelong dream!

Do you know how to attach an external wallet so that you can receive sats instead of cowboy credits? @supratic will have the details xP

Looking to reading more from you!

Indeed! I can’t wait for CNY to be over. Both my children have taken to banging spherical toys at home. I like their ingenuity, but it is just too much noise!

Do you give ang baos too? Or just your wife? Or you are the お年玉 designate?

Your title is smooth as well. It drew me in

This sounds really fun!

I will do it likewise with my son. I have those fake tokens piled up from too many claw machine games haha

Woah I never knew ChatGPT increases my carbon footprint so much. I shall be more discerning in my use of ChatGPT and not use it anyhow lol

No, it is not, but I appreciate your commenting!

Welcome back! I see that you joined here in 2023.

What have you been up to? What brought you back? Just sharing your adventures will yield you some zaps. ⚡️ Write on

That, or the wedding guests will look perplexed because they still haven’t met someone who keeps Bitcoin in his everyday life, haha

If not public education, then what? Homeschooling?

I agree.

It’s trending for parents to give their children a smartwatch so that the latter can buy food at the cafeteria via mobile payments. I don’t think I will be following suit because I don’t want my son to be deprived of this kinesthetic way of learning about money

Awesome.

Sats for you

Definitely not. Because AI cannot come up with eccentric, quirky art like Yayoi Kusama or inspirational, tug-at-your-heartstrings films like Hayao Miyazaki

Thank you for asking me! You made me think while I was doing my household chores.

I think differently from Michael Masterson in the sense that if I’m not offering something truly unique into the market, then I’m just not motivated. Why try to be like everyone else? So I came up with the idea of teaching kids essay writing in both English and Mandarin. A bespoke bilingual curriculum, so to speak.

I went as far as to test my ideas out on my friend’s kid. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I stopped because it’s hard to work on the curriculum when I don’t teach Mandarin in my day job haha.

Now my dream is to offer a curated curriculum that teaches kids English and Science at the same time. Example, use passages from the Magic School Bus to teach comprehension strategies and scientific concepts. I will pivot to teach in an elementary school this July. I think this idea will work.

Have you been revising that dreaded paper?

You are right. I think that 25x is for people who aim for FIRE. I plan to work until 65 (because of two young kids), so 10x is sufficient for me haha

It’s less intimidating, too!

Well honestly Singapore is a long way from adopting BTC for most of its public services, so I still need fiat

I can use the Lightning Network to pay my utilities bill, though

I agree with you.

I run those ads in the background while I’m at work. It motivates me to work hard so that I can multitask haha

Yes. And sometimes I post his work here and am sure to keep those sats for him. But I don’t think it has registered in his mind yet

Admittedly I haven’t put as much effort into Bitcoin as I have invested into making sure that he knows how to read various Chinese words. I care about him being Chinese first and a Bitcoiner second. Haha
