I am optimistic about my personal ability to protect myself and those that I care about, I used to be quite the workaholic thinking that throwing hours into my job and business was going to get me out of poverty. Life in South Africa has never been easy but at least now I have a measuring stick that cannot be debased and I feel fortunate to have found it so early.

It's also allowed me to not be so frantic, take time out, work on myself, enjoy my sport again and getting to learn from smart people all over the world.

As for non-bitcoin related optimism, I am optimistic over the bonds I am making now, I feel like the friends i've made recently are such great people, and In hard times you get to see who you can count on and who has integrity
