I first watched 'How to Train Your Dragon' in my 30's and I'm not afraid to say that this kids movie remains one of favorite movies. l've always felt a bit embarrassed to claim a kids movie as one of my favorite, but I think this film analysis hits a home run in describing why I, and perhaps others, find this movie so resonating.

What @Jor says here is so important.
Don't get too impatient spending your time anxiously waiting and focused on when bitcoin will hit $1 million or $10 million.
Bitcoin is valuable, but not as valuable as time.
When bitcoin was $100 back in 2013, I'm sure much of the faithful couldn't wait for it too hit $100,000. That took 11 years.
I would give anything to go back to 2013 then when i was a youngster with a wide world in front of me.
If bitcoin hits $10 million by 2040, that's great, but then I'll be an older man and my kids will be be nearly adults and no longer cuddling me and calling me 'daddy' like the adorable toddlers they are right now.
Enjoy the present, create value in this world, and move forward in life with meaning.

I found this conversation enlightening, challenging and stimulating.
It's between Naval Ramikant, Tim Ferriss, and Aaron Stupple, the author of a new book, The Sovereign Child. Im reading through the book now.
I think this is a great video to watch if you want your children to live free, and experience authentic passion in their lives.
I take it with a source of pride to not actually know yet what wBTC even is....
Good morning Nostr,
Another great week to be alive and add value to this world. Let's get to it!
Good morning, Nostr. Coming to you today from Las Vegas, for meetings with the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council.
