Leaving family is the downside...literally everything else is the upside lol. Sadly I haven't seen any of my closest friends back home say anything about what is going on, everyone just rationalizes everything and takes it all lying down. I'd struggle to be in such an environment right now. In my travels since leaving I've met a ton of amazing bitcoiners, which as been incredible. I've always been a bit of a nomad, so it hasn't been a big adjustment.
