Most people would quit. And most have. Many people have come and gone. Things come and go.
Who and what will stand the test of time? Time will tell. Time is undefeated.
They say #value4value. But my sats total would disagree. 🤷♀️
Was it all worth it? Time will tell. Time is undefeated.
Although Bitcoin hasn’t been given to me in ways I was expecting, I’ve done my part in many aspects to help showcase Bitcoin. I’ve been researching Bitcoin since 2009. I’ve written about it. I’ve bought Bitcoin to give to others. I’ve gifted people their first Bitcoin. I’ve donated Bitcoin to others. I’ve made Bitcoin transactions. I’ve added a merchant to BTCmap.org. I’ve taught lessons about Bitcoin. I’ve paid people in Bitcoin. And the list goes on. All facts.
For the record, I’m not sharing it now.
During this timeframe, I also wrote an academic research paper titled “Bitcoin: The Reality, The Issues, and The Potential.” I requested for others to help fund my research. I made posts offline and online. Other than two close friends, the paper was basically self-funded. 🤷♀️
No one in the Bitcoin world has reached out to me to simply…read it. What gives? 🤷♀️
When I wanted to share more information about Bitcoin educationally, I applied for two grants. They both were rejected. One rejection was by OpenSats because I didn’t have “proof of work” and the other rejection was by the Human Rights Foundation because my project wasn’t far along for them to evaluate its “impact”. 🤷♀️
I don’t post everything I do online. People I’ve shared knowledge with know this. I don’t need to announce every gift I give. Privacy is to be respected. I honestly don’t need to prove my work and impact. God knows all of my work .Those who accept olive branches know the impact of the gifts.
In January 2025, I made the announcement about the “Enter by the Narrow Gate” seminars. It’s now September. I haven’t received one inquiry. 🤷♀️
During the same timeframe, I’ve gifted people with free knowledge and information. Online and offline. 🤷♀️
