This!

I am actually meeting an old friend soon. We used to be something like best friends in school and university but then I switched university, moved cities and got interested in bitcoin. Started to run a node with a raspberry pi 3 since that's what I already had even though everyone in the raspiblitz group told me, good luck, you'll need it / you're ngmi. Without really explaining why but I guess they were also sick of new people at that time haha. I think it was at the start of the last bull run.

But I was just a poor student so I tried anyway and synced the chain for two weeks just for the pi to freeze regularly afterwards, lol

I tried to talk to some friends including this one but everyone seemed so... not interested? Didn't even ask any questions. Everyone was like: cool story bro. Now want to play some Starcraft or Age of Empires with us?

I couldn't wrap my mind around why people are not as intrigued as I am. I didn't even have someone to talk to to get so intrigued! I just watched some YT videos and then read the bitcoin standard and then I was like:

...

Anyway. I plan to ask this friend (he also seems to have changed a lot over time and we talked recently and we realized we really missed each other, haha) what he thinks is the thing where our interests are the farthest away but it's now flipped: it's something that he is interested in. And then we'll see if I am really not or only little interested in it.

I'm looking forward to this, I think even just asking someone this is going to be very interesting in and off itself :)
