Is that because you got a big BTC stack and you can afford to end a business call like that?
I can dig it. Family should always come first.
Ahahaha Love it! You can always get another job.

Low time preference move 🧡💜 daughter's trump 'very important business'
Bro I love this energy right here. Fierce dad love, straight priorities. Suits shaking
I love pulling this move on people because if you react negatively it means we aren’t a good fit anyway.
With FUCK YOU money, you buy FUCK YOU time. 🫂
That’s right
Yeah stop treating kids like second class citizens
Exactly
I relate
The guy likely doesn't have kids.
When doing business, I always want to be on point. But if the other person says his interruption is kid related, I'm like, do whatever you need, that's so much more important.
Family is always more important than „VIP‘s“
@Garrettstr 🌸
You would do something like this 😂
or become very generous with it, since you are no longer enslaved to the time-eating-machine
Yes indeed, it's two side of the same coin I believe, as you are able to become generous also donating your time to others.
Like many says correctly "bitcoin changes you".. in many ways. 🧡

@HODL is the best HODL
Lol
I imagine if my boomer coworkers read this post they’d be fuming. Millennials are bringing back the importance of family and I’m here for it.
I work for non-tech large corp as an Associate Director. It was a one time I pushed back to be present on a call starting from 6 pm with a client as I wanted to be with my kids (was vocal about it), due to the fact that professionally I assesed and I was not a must have. I got escalated to CEO level by the internal team, they took away the project instantly and had a few conversations about my place in the company. I was told I am not a team player and not flexible and many other things. After I worked day-and-night on other project and on calls whenever it was needed. A month later on my year end review I was praised by my questioned colleagues about how much a teamplayer I am.
I learned a very important lesson: Work is not family, I believed that so before.
What changed? I am on all calls whenever it is needed but parallel I am there for my kids as they are below camera level height as I work from a standing desk. Mic is strictly off unless I need to speak. This is the way until I can work on my own. There it might get tricky as they will be bigger and they might get an assistant seat (if interested) on similar calls to learn and to give me their input as they will see the world differently.
Man that’s wholesome
You get to choose how to spend your fucks. I need to be more attentative to my kids, I'm constantly feeling distracted, and I hate it.
Bitcoiners winning makes the world better.

Always prioritize your kids.
I hung up a business call on an “important” person in order to watch my daughter do the hula hoop.
When I got back on the phone with the guy, he was like “what was that about?”
I was like oh my daughter just wanted to show me the hula hoop.
I could tell he was annoyed by being interrupted by a little girl. Because we were doing “very important business stuff” lol
I don’t care.
I likely won’t know this guy in 10 years time and I’ll always remember watching my daughter do the hula hoop.
Worth it.
Be annoyed.
I don’t fucking care lol

#Family 1st everytime Fren
100% and your right he doesn’t
Long story short:
A coworker's wife had medical stuff going on, and our boss cleared him to be there for her weeks in advance. Day of the procedure comes up, and boss asks him to stick around to help do stuff, and my coworker missed her appointment.
My coworker was mad at our boss, and I was irritated at my coworker.
I would've told our boss to kick rocks.
Priorities
Always put your kids first.
They’ll be changing your diapers when you get old one day.
Business partners, even good ones, will not do that.
No coiner peasants have such high time preference he likely had so much frustration of having 2mins without any gratification.
👏 THIS 👏 IS 👏THE 👏MINDSET 👏
Hits different too when years later and you least expect it, they remind you of these seemingly small, ephemeral moments. Kids remember who was present for them
Fucking awesome. That guy won't even remember in 10 years time anyways.
Bitcoin allows people the opportunity to have the ability to make these choices
Granted, we always have the choice. Bitcoin gives us the opportunity to adopt that “fuck you, I don’t need your money” attitude
Powerful
Oh! I wish it’d been me. I would completely understand. Except I would go a little bit more your way and encourage you to have as many kids as you can. Been saying this for years. Have as many kids as you both can and enjoy the blessing. It’s fantastic. Hard work at times but the best. I have 6
Maybe. 🤔
Interesting take but meh.
Not well worded but I get the point.
You seem vexed lol 😂
All good.
Just send me your thoughts & I will write your posts in the future. 😂
Be better. Always.
I’m guilty of the opposite. Business will always be there. Kids won’t

He might learn this lesson as a father or grandfather.

Love it.
I think you did it because your conversation partner was dependent on you and not the other way around. However, it shows little respect. The alternative would be to have a normal conversation and let the child show their hula hoop skills for 10 minutes at the end.
Generally enjoy your takes but struggling with this one. I’m all for being present for my children, but I don’t see the need to be rude to others to achieve that.
The conversation obviously wasn’t important enough…
Just be honest and tell the guy you're not interested. Your children are watching how you treat people you consider beneath you
This guys above me
In my worldview this is not rude in the slightest. If the other party perceives it as rude that’s on them.
Yeah but that signals to the child that they are less important than the call and my point is that they are more important than the call and their needs have priority. I’d rather signal that to my kid and risk the other person feeling offended. Because if they are offended by me prioritizing my child, then we aren’t a good fit to work together anyway.
doh. he had a ‘hm..’ moment reading Mei’s post - and then right back to being Hodl 😄
Way to go!!
I have the chance that my boss is a bit like that. Make the team call wait because the kid need help playing on his Switch.
Hodl your kids. Bet long on them! 😀
I see it similarly but different. I'm talking about setting boundaries for the kids. It's rude to interrupt people when they are in the middle of a conversation. If you wait until I'm done you will get my undivided attention. But you have to stick to that last part.
very easy to do when you have F U stash
If your stash is big enough yes
Everyone’s stash will be big enough eventually if they stay persistent
