I'm not a financial expert nor a crypto expert. I'm just a dad who looked at the world this week, war with Iran, oil prices climbing, 92,000 jobs lost in a single month, robotic arms replacing workers and thought: the cost of living is never going back down.
So I did something terrifying, beyond any fathers' comfort zone. I accumulated and manage to finally buy 2 Bitcoins. One for each of my son.
Every cent of it was earned. Not inherited. Not gifted. Earned, through long days, late nights, and the quiet sacrifices that nobody sees but you make anyway because you have two little faces at home counting on you.
I don't know if Bitcoin will be worth a million dollars one day. I don't know if it drops to zero. Nobody does, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. What I do know is this: the system we were born into the one that promised that if you worked hard and saved diligently, you'd be okay is getting harder to trust every single year. Rent goes up. Groceries go up. The gap between those who have generational wealth and those who are starting from nothing keeps widening.
I grew up with nothing. I refuse to let my kids start from nothing too.
So this is my letter to them, posted here because maybe some of you are in the same position β ordinary people, not wealthy, just trying:
*To my children, M.T & O.T *
By the time you read this, Bitcoin will either have changed your life or humbled us both. Either way, I need you to know that I tried. I sat with the uncertainty. I felt the fear. And I bought anyway not out of greed, but out of love. I wanted to give you something that no government could inflate away, no bank could freeze, and no economic crisis could take from you the way it has taken from so many.
I HODL'd it for you. Every dip. Every crash. Every headline that said it was over. I held, because I believed in your future more than I feared the risk.
And if this works if this single decision somehow lifts you above the poverty line I was born into, I hope you pay it forward. Because that's the real dream behind Bitcoin for me. Not lambos. Not getting rich. A world where more people have a fighting chance.
Hold the line, fellow HODLers. We're not just investing in an asset. Some of us are investing in our children's futures.
???? Dad of two. Holder of 2 BTC. Scared and hopeful in equal measure.
*Not financial advice. Just a father trying his best for M.T & O.T *
Update Thank you for the supports and encouragement. I just hope my children will be able to read this Reddit post one day and know that I sincerely did my best.
To my sons
If I am no longer in this world and you are reading this, please know that not a single day passed where you were not in my thoughts. Forgive me if I troubled you two a lot and thank you for putting up with me if you ever did.
I love you, sons. More than any words I could ever leave behind.
Your Dad, W ????
