What did I love about my second life stage, which was predominantly spent bringing up our children?
It was often hard, but there was zero bullshit involved (though plenty of shit).
Life’s simply too short to spend time and energy on bullshit.
I will be eternally grateful to the man who supported me so well along the child-bearing and child-rearing stages.
I now recognize (after spending nearly 3 years back in paid employment) that he no doubt had to wade through several tons of fiat bullshit to be able to support us so nobly.
I didn‘t always appreciate this enough. I do now.
Arguably the most important choice you will make in your life is your children’s daddy/mummy.
Choose wisely.

Mothers have an ultimate purpose fathers find theirs in their family.
Yep
Thanks for sharing, Rachel!
I couldn’t agree more.
Without a doubt, choosing your children's parent is the most significant decision you'll ever make.
Grateful for this @HODL note from July 21st 2025.
"Gentlemen if I could give you one piece of cliche advice it would be this…
Seriously vet the woman you are going to marry.
Because it will either make you or break you.
Looking back on my bitcoin journey my wife was the undisputed greatest investment I ever made.
Mrs. Hodl
- was cool with us living off her income while I threw all my income into magic internet coins
- lived a meager lifestyle alongside me when we were first married
- said yes to a cheap backyard wedding vs. a fancy expensive one
- was cool with a fake diamond as her wedding ring
- defended my “extreme” behavior to her family/co-workers
- believed in and trusted my vision
- was not embarrassed by me riding a moped or any of the other weird shit I did lol
- never nagged me about hodling or asked me to sell bitcoin.
Nope.
She was always down to ride from day one.
Not sure I would have been successful with a different woman by my side.
Choose the right one guys, it matters a lot. "
