I may not be on here often, but I am so damn proud of you guys. I saw something like 7% of my followers are in my age band, I am 3 months and 5 days younger than Saylor.
But....I was like you guys, back in the day, with the Internet. But even before then, I was in on BBS systems. I actually met two girlfriends online. My friends thought I was nuts, how could you meet someone typing on a computer? Then came the pre-Internet days.
I pushed hard. People laughed. I explained to them everything, even a guy at an Auto store (Poquet Auto) I came in on a Saturday to check out a Diamante (I bought it) he said. "How did you hear of this specific car?" I explained. "But it isn't in the Sunday Tribune until tomorrow?"
I helped them get a website setup using an ISP (long gone) called Summit.
My friends and family laughed.
I taught them early on the word 'Blog', they laughed, repeating the foreign word, when we went to Ukraine to adopt our daughter and I am in Internet cafes with thumb drives posting my info. (Essentially working with the Russian Mafia, really, packing heat, counting crisp hundred dollar bills and if one was flawed, "spend this in your country" in a thick Russian Accent.
My friends/Family were starting to say "cool."
Then my wife was diagnosed with incurable cancer, I used a MLM the exact on Satoshi used called Majordomo. Before Google, shitty search engines but I compiled all the info they needed and emailed it. BUT I knew that they would need to 'search' back through those emails so I used something called FINDMAIL.COM where it archived each email from the MLM. Then it was sold to eGroups then it was sold to something called Yahoo. But it did the same.
Now I am a national level cancer patient advocate for the past 27 years, with some of the best researchers in the world. I take most comfort, however, knowing that my little mailing list for that specific type of cancer, the doctors would say how "informed their patients were" and I knew, I freakin' KNEW my little list with the most patients/family members on it was in play.
...so then comes Bitcoin, my friends and family laughed, they are not saying "cool" yet.
All I am saying to you younger people, I am proud. Very proud of you all.
RESPECT.
GO NOSTR.
GO UKRAINE, I love your country, the people, and our wonderful daughter from Odesa.
