This post was inspired by @birdeye21, so half of whatever sats it garners should go to him so that he can continue to grace us with his interesting questions.

Anyway, yesterday a Stacker mentioned how he is energised by the interesting problems he encounters in his job, to which birdeye21 remarked simply “ikigai”. For the uninitiated, ikigai is a Japanese word that denotes a way of living. It’s often translated as “life purpose”. This means that a person who is living by his or her ikigai has found the sweet spot where passion, ability, profession and vocation are all aligned. He receives remuneration to serve the world through something that he can call both his forte and psssion.

Which leads me to the question: is spreading awareness of BTC the reason why you jump out of bed every morning, excited to do God’s work? Perhaps you are a content creator producing podcasts on the various developments affecting Bitcoin? Perhaps you are a consumer trying to help a merchant get onboard the Lightning Network?

Or is Bitcoin just one aspect of your dynamic life? How heavily is Bitcoin weighed against all other things in your life?
