You will forever be missed

[Outhue]

There is nothing more painful than losing someone that supports you through and through.

Not long ago, I lose my father (74 years old), it's been 3 weeks now, he was the reason why I was able to confidently continue my crypto journey with no hurry, he has never for once told me that I am wasting my time, I remember one morning in 2018, he called me and told me about a podcast he listened to on the radio, he said they talked about Bitcoin on the radio and this makes it very important.

He said, do not give up, who knows? This could be the next big thing in the future. And his favorite quote is " this Life doesn't wait for anyone, things evolves very fast" ... I am able to be who I am today because of my father, while many people have a different story about their spouse when it comes to Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin, mine was different and very supportive.

The only regret I have is, not being able to take good care of my Bitcoin Father, I feel like I never did enough for him at all, he will forever be missed.

If you have families that support you on your journey, even when they don't entirely understand, consider yourself lucky and take good care of them before it's too late.

And for those who don't have any supporters, do not blame them, older people find Bitcoin very confusing.

Condolences.

I think it would be nice if you could make a tribute to your father by creating a bitcoin transaction that has a customized messaged in it which can also be seen on the blockchain. You can do it in Electrum using the OP_RETURN function alongside with the message that is converted into base16(Hexadecimal) just like this!

"You will forever be missed" = 596f752077696c6c20666f7265766572206265206d6973736564

Code:

OP_RETURN
596f752077696c6c20666f7265766572206265206d6973736564

You can use testnet for practicing though!

Accept my condolences mate.
Your father must have been very educated to have pay attention to bitcoin to an extent telling you to venture into. Well there's something my people often say "Whenever you sleep and wakeup that is where your morning starts counting" meaning whenever you get the right information that's when you start making your findings and putting more effort to utilize the information, we must not wait to be gingered by people to venture into something rather praying for the right information to gets to our hands at the right time.

Please accept my condolences.
May his perfect soul rest in peace. It's nice knowing that you had a father who supported you through your journey in Bitcoin world. I really wish I had one too. My own dad doesn't want to even here anything about cryptocurrency or even online trading he despise them alot. You should continue remembering all the advice your father gave you they will guide you in life.  You shouldn't have any regrets just stay put and strong. I really wish I also had someone who supports me too. Once again my condolences brother.

Very important story to write in the forum, I'm with you man. Your father was right to tell you don't stop, don't give up.  Bitcoin is the freedom we all aspire to and perhaps your father already knew this.

Condolences. I agree to you that we should look back to those people that have supported us with our bitcoin journey. Those that never mocked us yet encouraged us despite that no one knows the future of bitcoin.
I'm also fortunate that I've got my family on my back and supported me when I've told them that I'll be pursuing my investments in bitcoin and a few altcoins and they never said anything bad with what I do but instead, they've given me a reminder that I can do anything I want and turn to anywhere if my decision and journey didn't go well.

OP, I’m sorry for your loss. It’s really painful losing a parent. More painful losing one that loves ad supports you in anything you want to do. I know first hand how unsupportive a parent can be so I can understand the bond you must have shared with your pop. A supportive parent would always have you back no matter how bad it would get.  He would surely be missed and would remain with you in your heart.
People often wish they took more care of their parents while they were still alive.

It's fortunate that my parents are still alive, but just thinking about them dying is a very unpleasant feeling, let alone if it really happened, it's a really scary thing. Hope those who still have parents take good care of them, don't let them regret it until they're gone.

OP, my condolences on your loss, your father was a wonderful man. My dad doesn't know about bitcoin, but he also knows I'm investing in it, he always supports me and never complains about what I choose.

Not many parents are supportive of their children especially when they are not doing what they are used to. Some parents are quick to come to the conclusion that what you are involved in is a waste of your time. I understand why you will miss your father so much because he is one in a million. I hope you become a father like him that will be supportive to your children and not make decisions for them.

My condolence.

Deep condolences to you mate and we can just imagine how much pain you might be feeling at this time but stay strong always and make your father proud by successfully succeeding in your crypto journey.Frankly saying not many parents are supporting their children when it comes to crypto line as it's risky and they want something solid so really happy that your father motivated you in this space.So hope you strong future ahead so his dream is fulfilled.

[ethereumhunter]

Please accept my condolences. My parents never said that what I was doing was wasted. Maybe people see it as pointless, but we believe that what we do can bring change to our lives. It's only a matter of time.

If you don't have supporters, don't be afraid and worry because as long as you don't do anything bad, you can continue it and don't listen to what other people say if they underestimate you. I love your father's quote, "Life waits for no one, everything progresses so fast." That's very true. It is we who have to adjust to life.

Condolence to the departed soul, one thing about being privileged is that some people were sorrounded by those that will demoralized them with lits of discouragements towards starting or trying out new opportunities in life while some are so blessed with the right mind thinking people who will also contribute in their own little support towards your goals realization in life, many fear bitcoin from the beginning because they don't want to risk loosing it all while those that risk it finds it worth it, they also got encourage by those around them and can never forget in life.

Sorry for your loss OP, but I have to say that I find looking at the father-son relationship through bitcoin-holder lens (and referring to him as Bitcoin Father) as a bit creepy.
I know we're on Bitcoin forum, but the cult-like vibe here can be really offputting. Bitcoin is just a tool, not some magical purpose of life.
If you want to honour your father, be a good man with a strong moral spine and raise your own children well, to keep the bloodline going. Don't shift too much focus and energy on trivial things like bitcoin holding.

[hugeblack]

Sorry for your loss, you are strong and you will be able to achieve all the dreams your father wished for you, I believe in that.
It's good to find people who support you like this, even if they don't understand the nature of Bitcoin, they love you.
I hope that you will develop yourself and increase your investment to reach financial freedom.

[m2017]

Yes you are right. It is always very important when relatives support you in your endeavors, even if difficulties and problems arise along the way. Like, for example, btc falls, if we talk about crypto currencies.

On the other hand, if your relatives don't understand anything in btc, then you can simply not tell them about your hobbies. After all, it's your life and live it the way you want to. No need to wait for the approval of others and their guides. Especially if they are no longer young, which means they are at least distrustful of everything unusual and new for them. I have long believed that btc is not for the elderly. With the exception of a few, most will be hostile to it. What can I say, even people of a young and conscious age are extremely cautious in relation to btc.

And for those who don't have any supporters, do not blame them, older people find Bitcoin very confusing.

I'd like to extend my deepest condolences man. Losing your number one support system is just hard especially for someone who's taking a different approach in life. In any case, I don't want you and most likely your father wouldn't want you to beat yourself up for "not being there for him", trust me man, when you look back at all those things you did with your dad, you'd be able to say that you enjoyed every bit of it with no regrets whatsoever, although of course, the lingering feeling of missing what was lost will always remain.

Take all the time you need to grieve and recuperate man. It's hard enough to lose your support system, let alone a father as well. You take all the time to heal, and keep up with your bitcoin journey, I'm pretty sure and the whole community could vouch for this when I say that he'll be proud of you if you carry on with it.

Let his soul rest in peace. Not everyone get such support when it comes to cryptocurrency. Not much of the older people are aware of cryptocurrency. Even the known persons have fear, whether to invest. This is common, and what OP's father have done to him is really appreciable. Every parent wants their children to have better life. For that they do many sacrifices. We people never understand it when they're alive and we'll understand when they're no more with us.

[sokani]

Please accept my deepest condolences over the demise of your father. It is really sad to lose a dear one especially a loving and supportive father who's always there for you and believes in your dreams and live's pursuits. You can find solace knowing that you're on the right path and work hard to make your dream a reality because that's the only way you can repay him.

Our Condolence.
If your whole family supports you with what you are doing while you are yet not successful, you are lucky. You only need your father, one person in life that believes in you and it could already alter the future. But I'm guessing your father must have learned something about BTC in that podcast and he has visions for the future. So many people wanted to be in your shoes where they wanna feel someone is behind them all the time that never gives up.

[decodx]

I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad sounded awesome for supporting and encouraging you to explore Bitcoin. It's really cool that he knew so much about it, since a lot of parents don't really get into their kids' interests. We all know that losing someone close to you is never easy, and it's okay to take the time you need to heal, but it's clear that your father had a positive impact on your life. So cherish the memories you have with him and honor his legacy by continuing to pursue your interests and passions. Remember what he taught you and stay strong during this tough time.
