Life is beautiful

This song was created by a wonderful woman and dedicated to all stay-at-home mothers who have understood the importance of their role. The lyrics are beautiful: ‚it’s not about better, it’s not about less, it’s a different version of what we call success ….‘ Thank you for seeing us https://youtube.com/@heartbeat.of.change?si=_GjNRE-dFdnwNSSP

I am far more impressed by someone whose priority in life is building, supporting and protecting a loving, tight-knit family and irl social network than someone whose priority is their high-flying ‚career’, their online ‚followers’ and the amassing of shiny objects. What’s the end goal of life? How much ‚shininess’ is enough? What makes a perfect day? Who do you want to spend it with? Who truly cares about your well-being? How I spend my time and energy tells you what I truly value. Far louder than my words.

Do you live to stack or stack to live? Choose wisely.

Absolutely nothing beats family.

The most effective thing I can do is stop feeding the beast with my time and energy.

There’s no such thing as a bitcoin company. If you are a legal entity in any shape or form, you are a fiat company at heart. Whatever colour the facade may be painted.

Slow. Down.

I am forever grateful that I lived at a time when we could afford (heartfelt thanks to my hard-working chaddy) for me to spend my time and energy in bringing up our children. Around a quarter of a century all in all. A quarter-ish of my life, if I’m lucky. There is no job title nor salary that could have sufficiently compensated me to have missed out on those precious years - even in part. It was a small fraction of my life when I zoom out, though it often didn’t feel it at the time. Being a full-time mum was the hardest and most worthwhile thing I’ve done to date by a long shot and I can’t see anything topping it (bar potentially being a grandma, but this honour has yet to be experienced … fingers firmly crossed). Life is simple. We make it complicated. Meaningful relationships matter most. My nearest and dearest might miss me and occasionally think of me when I buggar off (hopefully). A legal entity won’t. Online followers won’t. We should always be mindful how we spend our time and energy - our most precious, limited resources - during our short time on this wonderful earth. We come without stuff, we leave without stuff. It’s never about stuff.

Honoured to be invited as a guest on the phenomenal talkshow ‚Fairtalk‘ in Dortmund on 2. September. Topic will be Bitcoin and Freedom. The recording is in German (yikes!) and with a live audience. It would be a tremendous support to have some friendly faces in the audience. Tickets available here:
