This morning, I listened to this conversation and @npub1cxw2...nt7u says everything I’ve been thinking and feeling. I haven’t shared much about our situation because I don't want to be a complainer and honestly, it feels embarrassing, but I know I'm not alone in this. I never expected that at that this stage of my life, as a young parent, so much of my energy would be focused on surviving financially, instead of enjoying my son’s childhood. My husband works around the clock at two jobs to keep us afloat. I earn what I can, but I’m not finding enough work (or should I say paid work, because as a mother, I have plenty of work). We qualify for “free” daycare here in Finland, but in exchange we are taxed up to the eyeballs (whether we use it or not). We don’t live extravagantly; we don’t go on trips, we stick to free activities, we moved out of the capital to a cheaper area, and virtually never eat out. Recently, I saw a poster for the circus and thought how lovely it would be to take our three-year-old. Checked the tickets: 100 euros for us as a family of three. Having a family in this economy opened my eyes and I finally understood why we need Bitcoin. If I didn’t have that, I think I might feel completely hopeless by now. That’s the truth of why I want to bring Bitcoin to more people, and especially women. It’s never been easy to be a mother, but what if it didn’t have to be this hard? View quoted note →
