Those are my wallets. One is leather full of cash and cards of all sorts. The other is a Bitkey holding Bitcoin.

When I look at both of them it feels like the leather wallet is becoming more and more obsolete.

About a month ago I learned that we could start to live off from Bitcoin. I've gotten to know a few people that have been living off from it for years now. They've done really well for themselves.

They say if you're past 40 you come to Bitcoin either because you're curious or desperate. I think I'm both.

I love to learn and we are now a single income family trying to grow a native plant nursery. Staying afloat financially is important for the latter.

Bitcoin, I've learned. holds its value better than the U.S Dollar.

I work hard for a wage. I want to hold onto what I've earned after all the bills are paid.

So here I am going deeper and deeper into Bitcoin.

This is nothing unusual. I know enough Bitcoiners to know that this is a natural process. I've been buying it for 2 1/2 years now. As I've learned more I've bought more.

Someday you might find yourself in this condition and position.

If you do, I recommend you buy a Bitkey to hold your Bitcoin on. I set it up today and transferred my Bitcoin onto it. It was simple and seamless.

Along the way into my Bitcoin journey I have asked for help from other Bitcoiners who have been more tech savvy than I.

In both instances it seemed both individuals dropped what they were doing and got back to me immediately with audio messages. They couldn't type because they were driving or working out.

It happened today. I had questions about setting up my Bitkey. I private-messaged the gentleman. He was driving his family in their van. But still sent me an audio message while they were together.

The Bitcoiners I know are possessed with a commitment and conviction to build a better world. And it's contagious.

So if you ever find yourself with questions or concerns about Bitcoin I am offering to help you or point you in the direction of someone who can.
