Grateful to share I’ll be giving a @TEDx @Cornell Talk on April 12!

“In her TEDxCornell talk, “In Yourself You Trust,” Ella Hough challenges the way we think about traditional currency and introduces Bitcoin as the ultimate time capsule—a way to preserve not just your wealth, but your freedom to live. In a world where time is everything, Ella asks: are you really saving money, or are you losing time?”

"Rule #2: A simple 'hello' can lead to a million things."

This time 4 years ago, I was writing college essays, trying to discover my path, answering questions like:
- What inspires you to act?
- Reflect on an idea that excites you.

I never could have imagined the P2P network I’d soon find that would show me the way — each node is a giant whose shoulders I’ve stood on, and anything I’ve done is only possible because of the intellectual generosity and PoW of this community.

2024 has given me more than I deserve. Thank you, @npub1yjryj..., for naming me Rookie of the Year and wrapping up these past 4 years in the most incredible way.

My cup overflows with gratitude to walk this path with you all and many more to come!
