Sounds like you should really learn a new skill.  AI can help you learn whatever interests you.

Your story is raw and powerful. It takes a lot of courage to live the way you do, constantly starting over and staying committed to what you believe in. Bitcoin was always meant to be more than just a way to get rich—it’s about freedom, resilience, and challenging broken systems.

But maybe financial sovereignty isn’t just about stacking sats; it’s also about sustainability. Supporting loved ones is noble, but taking care of yourself is just as important. Maybe the change we need isn’t just in the system, but also in how we use the tools we have.

Wishing you strength and clarity on your journey. Stay safe, brother.

I suspect many share your malaise even if your post sounds like a troll.

Isn't that just one shit?

I'm completely broke.  Yes, I've been "wrecked" a few times.  Bitcoin was never about getting rich, it was about challenging the status quo.

I had to leave my hometown in the Northeast USA right before lockdowns to find work.  I had nothing but a bicycle and some hiking gear.  It was mid-February.  My breath froze on the surface of my face, creating an ice mask.  After several days of bike-packing and hiking further north and east, I got a job.

But I didn't truly stack sats.  Yes, I converted all my money to Bitcoin whenever possible, but I used my Bitcoin for remittances.  I sent money to Kyrgyzstan where it's worth more.  At first, I sent money to four different parties.  Then, I decided to focus spending on my Kyrgyz girlfriend.

I worked many shit jobs and could sometimes save $10k to $20k by living in a tent.  I actually prefer to live this way.  But, it seems like I mostly just spoiled my girlfriend.  The money all disappeared.  I DID fund a two classroom schoolhouse that's been 90% completed for 5 years.  But that was in the pre-COVID era.

Over the years, I find myself falling into the same pattern over and over again.  Work, send Bitcoin to my lady, travel, go broke, start again.   Surely, there's more to life.

Bitcoin came as a sign of change.  But I'm not feeling any real big changes.  I think we're doing it wrong, guys.  Can't we be doing something differently?

A few days ago, I bought a Frosty at Wendy's in the San Salvador airport with Bitcoin.  Feels like a long way from being able to have a family.  Now, I'm looking for a shit job again, taking two shits at a time in the woods, drinking runoff from the ground.  Where did we go wrong?
