GM Proof of pecans The amount of pecans the last two years from the trees on my family's farm in MO is wild

Proof of work It has many meanings to me. I've been blessed to learn from STRONG men throughout my life. Before I found Bitcoin I already knew the importance of proof of work. My Grandpa Paul went through life with a quiet confidence that was infectious. Everytime you were around him you knew you were safe to enjoy the company you were with. His favorite appetizers were Crown Royal and pecans from his farm. He rode this one speed bike 5-40 miles a day depending on his mood. He rode it to church every weekday and I remember that wink and smile every time at Mass when I was in elementary school. He would then ride it to the local coffee shop to hang out with his crew. It was a simple life but a full life. He was in average to below average health at 92 when he crashed the bike below into a ditch and a neighbor brought him home. My Grandma Bert said it was time to stop going on the daily rides. About a month later she took a turn for the worse and his purpose was back...he had to take care of his bride. 73 years of marriage when she passed, 6 children, 21 grandchildren, and 37 great grandchildren. To say I hope to live a life as great and full as my Grandpa would be an understatement. We are celebrating the confidence he bestowed upon us and carrying his legacy forward. My proof of work is making sure that my kids understand the strong roots they come from and that nothing on this planet is given...everything is earned. In this family we work hard to earn our living and our place in heaven when God calls us home. Cheers Grandpa to a life well lived!!! Rest easy unless you're dancing with Grandma in heaven. Love you J

GM Garage to gate at airport gate this morning took 29 minutes. Shoutout to living by airports who are efficient The humiliation ritual was fairly smooth today

Came home to a killer package from @Leathermint Always appreciate the care Bitcoiners put into shipping goods. The proof of work is undeniable 🤝 Straight to the saife

GM Entire thoughts while here are of Tom Luongo's city of London theory. Always enjoy his conversations with @MartyBent

Had the best guide through Cince Terre, Pisa, Firenze, and Assisi. Asked him the best way to tip him. I offered Euro, USD, or Bitcoin. He said "I don't touch Bitcoin!" I said that sounds like an interesting story. He replied....I had 84.5 Bitcoin in 2012....sold them all in 2014 for 8x my investment and traveled the world for 3 weeks....every time it hits new all time highs I get nightmares. After hearing his story I was grateful I didn't start investing & HODLing until I understood what I owed. He said he has no regrets but I could feel his anguish when we talked. If you ever need a guy in Florence let me know...he is now a friend for life.

GM This biodynamic vineyard and Olive orchard has been in the same family since the 1200s. The current patriarch has stewarded the land the same way his ancestors did while all his neighbors over the last 30-40 added watering options and some added use of chemicals. Due to his wise choices the soil will produce for many more generations. Don't take short cuts in life...juice isn't worth the squeeze 🤌🤝🤌

Went to this beautiful church where many pilgrims have come before. Without any indication my kiddos went and knelt to say a prayer. Can only hope their faith journey isn't as volatile as mine has been 🙏🙏🙏 God is good

GM This church was built out of recycled marble from around Rome and Arabia. Pirates still settled and worshiped Christ Knights Templar are badass
