I think the point is that you could occasionally read thru your relevant (for whatever interest you have) notes to keep those ideas ~refresh in memory. I doubt anyone's advocating for reading every note you've taken in school 20 y

It's also fine to highlight Satoshi talked about Bitcoin like gold since the beginning, as well as electronic cash, which people always omit when saying he deemed it to be cash not gold. He introduced the terminology of mining as a dir

It's a fair point you bring up, but why should only people with kids be able to comment on this (which is unrelated to your main point to boot)? Sure, I can't have the same perspective as a parent, but if there is an experience fa
