The Burden of Bitcoin

I would never amount to anything. Years and years of my life spent developing this ‘pet project’ would all be in vain. Dad always reminded me. I could be married with kids and living a simple life in the suburbs. Mom always wanted that for me. It felt like the world around me didn’t understand what I was trying to create. Their lack of imagination for the future made them brush me off like a naive twat. They laughed at me from the sidelines, berated me in headlines, and desecrated the sanctity of my beliefs.
