Playing sports, specifically for me football (soccer), has pretty much been at the core of my life learning. I've played for over 20 years now and it's taught me everything from the obvious things that tie into athletic performance, to people skills, to overall health improvement methods, and all things in between. Playing for so long has also allowed me to travel around the world, and meet people and make connections from everywhere. For me it's also a space where you learn life is all about failing and making mistakes, learning from them, growing, and then repeating the cycle again. I would not have become a Bitcoiner if I didn't play football with the passion I have for the game. Playing football has made me the man I am and has been why having a low time preference made immediate sense to me when I read the Bitcoin Standard.
