A very difficult but equally beautiful reality to face is that our "round" might not be the one that does it - but if we don't carry a flame, we guarantee the future is dark.
Whether we get to personally set the blaze ourselves or "merely" pass the torch to the next bearer, maintaining, growing and sharing the light is the answer for every individual.
Wow. Such an important and powerful conversation between a father and son.

Being a dad is the most rewarding use of our time on this planet

Well said Jeff!
I visited Hiroshima many years ago and found it an incredibly moving experience. My memory is of the kindness and welcoming offered by the locals, particularly in presuming I was American. How they had translated the horrific events into a collective desire for peace was powerful and not always the outcome of lost wars. I have greatly respected the Japanese for this.
Beautiful parenting moment, the power and importance of imagining better
What a moving and powerful lesson for your son. Thanks for sharing it with us Jeff 🤩
What a lucky kid to have such questions posed, and a strong steady thoughtful father to guide with good heart and strong conviction. Your outlook always uplifts. Thank you.
How beautifully written, you beautifully experienced! Be the change you want to see in the world. Don't depend on other people's transformation. Simply be the transformation. We don't walk alone.
🧡💜
Beautiful, thank you for sharing. 🙏
Sounds like you need a hug 🫂 It's okay, man ❤️ It's gonna be okay ❤️
Beautiful
Amazing.
🙏🏻👊🏻
Thanks Jeff, my children start to see they individually are the permissionless change, that paradoxically is the way for the collective’s improvement of conditions, but they are still too much in « Humans bad » mindset.
I will share this conversation with them 🙏 🧡
More of this. More of existential conversations with the future generation to prevent them from becoming outright nihilists and have hope.
Wow!
Thanks Jeff. You can’t change the world, you can only change yourself

Been falling into a bit of depression recently over the thought that many of us work so hard and everything we build can be snatched away so easily by war. Needed to read this reminder to stay positive.
Be the change. ♥️🫂
I've been thinking of revisiting some Krishnamurti. You are inspiring me to do so. 🙏
Powerful. This caused me to flash back to a September 2001 conversation with my 8 year old daughter. She was watching the World Trade Center collapse and we had been staying there 3 weeks prior. She asked, “Dad, what would we have done had we been in the observatory when it happened?”
I had prepared my whole life for why is the sky blue and where do babies come from. It was a surreal moment and I wasn’t sure how to answer her.
Bitcoin is hope.
I visited the Killing fields in Cambodja, the tunnels in Vietnam, had parents that survived as kids WW2….it all feels so unreal to how people can do such terrible things to each other over and over again? yet…”we” do terrible things to each other since human existence, one can only hope that on a Bitcoin standard things will get better for humanity
長崎にも行くといいよ
Thank you for the hope you’re spreading 🙏
Powerful message. You don’t have to share as much as you do … grateful that you choose to. Thank you for it 🙏
Powerful massage!
Keep spreading the message Jeff! Get it out to as many as possible.
I needed to read this today. A timely reminder!
One of my favourite things about you, Jeff, is your willingness to be vulnerable and present. You are beacon for this in the Bitcoin space and it is so needed. It’s a great reminder for all of us just how compelling these qualities are and that if we can be brave enough to engage with others this way it will, actually, brings people towards us in a positive way. How lucky your children are to have such an emotionally available father. 🙏 #loveandbelonging
🧡💜🙏

The Ray Dalio’s book , “changing the world order” explains how the big and small cycle inner mechanics work. In the existing system, conflict, revolution, war, unfortunately, is inevitable…
Thanks for sharing Jeff, so inspiring. 🙏

Time will tell if bitcoin can fix it ….

Beautiful. 🧡
Many Gen Z including my own feel terrified of the future despite me trying to emphasise a more hopeful purpose. I strongly believe our children will find their own path but it helps to have positive influences around them.
I’m working on slowly shifting their reality but as I remain not only part of but also embolden the system I criticise, my approach is wrapped in cognitive dissonance and thus holds less legitimacy. The forces against are very strong but I’m hopeful we’ll get there. ☀️

Powerful statement.
'Is your fear of what others will do keeping you from realising what you can do?'
I expect many parents are going to experience variations of your apprehensive moment with your son. I hope I can instil the love and care you shared when both of you were so vulnerable .
Thank you for sharing such an emotional moment.
I love how much you embody the concept of “pay it forward”, with everything you do 🧡 truly inspirational
🧡💜🙏

Thank you. I've bookmarked it - like many others who have offered the same service . I have so much to learn on Nostr.
Your moment with your son resonated.
My son seems to think BTC is a rug pull. Thinks I should stick with gold. His concern is the Genius Act and KYC. I believe the BTC community is creative enough to work their way around this obstacle . Watching with interest.
'Is your fear of what others can do, keeping you from realizing what you can do' - applies to me too.
Yes, very difficult to wage a profitable war since you cant take private keys from dead people. Bitcoin is a peace technology
As I said before:
“Don’t pay any taxes and that’s is real defund . You should own nothing , use nothing from “civilized world” and live isolated in the woods / mountains.
In other words , is almost impossible with any tools we have including bitcoin do not fund them ..
Bitcoin and “defund gov” is just a story for kids . “
This is predictive programming Jeff. First off and moralistic insight would have to involve the truth and by that I mean about nucs—there is very real evidence around those cities being carpet bombed to death and then the usual Vatican inspired government spin of a new psyop of fear… I understand by explaining it it makes me look like the conspiracy theorist but factor facts you’re not considering those at all. You’re just taking authority for granted while saying you’re fighting it.?
Good thought provoking post 👊
