When I came across Bitcoin, I quickly became obsessed with it. I didn't understand the technical side of it at first, but learning about economics, money, and the whole fiat system was enlightening, to say the least. After diving deep into the rabbit hole, my obsession began to settle. I started to accept Bitcoin as something that would forever be a part of my life, allowing me to refocus on other areas that needed attention.
Bitcoin rekindled the fire of my passion, which had been fading with each passing fiat year. As some of you may know, my passion is football. I've been obsessed with the game since I first kicked a ball at the age of four. However, living under the fiat standard, my passion began to diminish as I became burdened by the 'realities' of adult responsibilities. My mind was constantly preoccupied with money and how I needed to become more 'realistic,' even if it meant sacrificing my passion.
But Bitcoin said, "No, live your life how you want to. Stack sats and wholeheartedly obsess over the things that bring you joy and meaning!" This is what I do now. I stack sats, play football with all my heart, and strive every day to make it my best day.
Yes, I still care deeply about Bitcoin and strive to become a better Bitcoiner every day. However, my true obsession is football and optimizing my health. Bitcoin has reminded me that life is about passionately pursuing what fills your heart and never giving that up, no matter what.
I would love to know, has Bitcoin become your passion, or has it empowered you to rekindle your obsession for whatever your passion may be?
I feel the same way as you do. I have pain about US elections because of this. Bitcoin through Nostr has sparked my passion to write. Even if I make mistakes, I still want to write.
I just published this about my feelings about US Elections. Just Don't vote. #567114

Thank you for sharing, today is the election to the European Parliament here in Europe, I will not go to vote either, it is all a farce.

Just put your energy into something you can control and stack sats. This is the way.

Yes, you are right, I prefer to be writing here in SN than to be perpetrating parliamentarism.

Bitcoin doesnt have to be your #1 passion. You can always let it be passive, it wont go anywhere.

More than returning passion to my life, bitcoin has been my best teacher and the one who has taught me to understand and appreciate the real value of the simplest things every day. I am still a novice learner so I row my boat daily. one place to another to accumulate more SATS and more valuable knowledge applicable to daily life. and all thanks to bitcoin
