In 2020, my husband was into #Bitcoin and I simply wasn’t… Big mistake.
2020 was a life changing year for both of us. Lockdowns happened, we got engaged in April, married in July, and moved to the opposite side of the country away from our families.
This was the first time we had ever lived together. It truly felt like it was just the two of us, creating our own little world. I was unemployed trying to figure out what to do while my husband worked hard for us.
Once we lived together, the word “Bitcoin” came to my radar again since the very first time I’d heard about it in 2017.
Not because my husband was trying to shove an orange-pill down my throat... He would simply put on the stephanlivera (npub1r8l…x5dk) a podcast or listened to Citizen Bitcoin while we would do car rides. He would ask me if I’ve heard about saylor (npub15dq…lm5m) and about how Microstrategy was going to buy Bitcoin..
To my husband, it all sounded soooo interesting.. But this was his thing, not mine. I didn’t get it. And didn’t care to. I had more “important” things to think about… when in reality, I was just disqualifying myself and thinking I was not smart enough to understand Bitcoin. THIS WAS MY BIG MISTAKE.
Fast forward to end of November, I finally decide to read the Bitcoin Standard. My initial reaction was anger. I had about 10K in fiat savings that were just being melted away. Then I felt regret. I wish I would have paid attention sooner… Bitcoin was at $17K at the time. I could have bought a whole coin while it was under 10K just a couple months back.
But instead of dwelling in those negative emotions, I quickly snapped out of it. I told myself “This is the solution you have been looking for. This is the nest egg for the family you want to create. Dive more into it.” And I did. I logged back on Twitter after many years, connected with other Bitcoiners, got a job in the industry, and have been a Bitcoiner ever since.
I made 2 simple rules for myself on this journey:
1) Just focus on Bitcoin
2) Stack sats WHILE you learn
My husband and I started to get more aggressive with our purchases when we could, buying all time highs and trying to take advantage of dips. And we have been on this journey together ever since.
God put thevin (npub1tv9…tde3) in my life so he could guide me and to build a fruitful life together with him. Bitcoin was put as a tool to build the best life possible in today’s world.
If your spouse or life partner dismisses Bitcoin, don’t give up on them.
Remember that what you both are trying to do is build a life project together. How are you both contributing to that vision? What tools are you using to make it happen?
Paint the picture together first, and then bring up how Bitcoin can make it happen and how it can make your life project happen a lot faster if you are on the same page.
YOU GOT THIS. DON’T GIVE UP. AND KEEP STACKING!
