This is how you know you're doing it well! 🤝
Good job 👏
That's awesome. Doing something right. 👍
That gotta feel good
bottle it up and open in the future. these are his true feelings regardless of how he expresses them as a teenager
two weeks ago my 5 year old girl built a lego bitcoin mining construction , without telling her anything beforehand. she said, dad i built this because you like bitcoin 🧡
Fatherhood really is special

Not a dad yet, but it feels and sounds like a life achievements.. 🥹🫂💜
this is how we fix the world
That is literally true. Bitcoin makes it possible to work and live, but this is what it's for
thats amazing. this morning my toddler said ' i love you dadda' unprompted as he climbed on me and it was everything
These are the best moments. I’ll never never forget when I picked up my son early from the kindergarten and on the way out he pulled me to the fence and screamed to his friends pointing at me:
- Friends, this is my dad! Friends, this is my dad!
Enjoy they grow fast 🤙
dad goals 😍
Blessed 🙏🏼
Probably due low population density in the area ;p
that's awesome... beautiful moment... and encapsulated in nostr so he can read it when he's a dad... very cool.
There are two things my very young son didn't understand yet, and so he kept telling it to everyone he met and liked.
1. "You're my best friend."
2. "Guess what? It's your birthday! "
Wow. That’s what it’s all about. Nothing else matters when you get that experience as a parent
I don't know why but his post made me melt too... I like to reflect at the end of every year, and I had pinged my son about a couple things that stood out as good times we had shared in the year (including him showing up on father's day, unannounced after a 3 hour drive from his place.)... his response was "don't forget about the excavating projects we worked on"... that melted me.
kids can drive you crazy at times but they can also take you to wonderful spaces that no one else can... and a healthy relationship with your kids is gold.
kudos to odell for being a pro-father, pro-family figure with a big mic and sharing his experiences.

That's what it's all about 🔥
You my Fren are #Winning in #Life with #Family #God #Bitcoing and #Nostr your son’s comment is your proof of work!
When my daughter was 4, she told me "Daddy I wish I knew you when you were my age so we could play."
God bless you, brother 🫂
Hell yeah! Proud dad achievement unlocked!!
Took my son this morning to the driving range to play/practice golf. Told him the main objective was to have FUN and make some memories. He said "Dad I always have FUN with you," He then told me the last time we did this and to the specifics of the day....same melted heart
Odell front ran me on Bitcoin, but I front ran him on becoming a Dad...it only gets better from here brother.
Memories with your kids are our true LEGACIES.
SHOW UP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FOR YOUR FAMILY

You are the luckiest man in the world.
Nothing better than that
Ah fuck thats so cute ✨️🙆🏻♀️🥰✨️💕
Those little moments you remember forever.
As a Dad, that is so cool to hear.
So Bullish on bitcoin families. Seriously.
We are winning. sure shot.
I bet he/she didn't zap you though... cheap bastards... #onlyzaps
Zaps are the only true form of trusted, publicly verifiable love. Anything else is paper love.
Second best is the release of a Amethyst iOS client.
How I imagine Vitor


Kids say the purest things. That’s a moment you’ll never forget ❤️
That’s awesome. Just remember that sometimes you can’t be his best friend because being his dad is more important.
A son is an arrow in his father's quiver.

“I’m your father, not your friend “
I’ve had to use that a few times. Obvious important distinction.
Kids are fickle though… One moment you’re their friend, the other they despise you.. lol.
And he's a pretty cool dude!
Stay humble Matt.
#winning
Precious times when they are little like that. Kids are a moving target and evolve. But, really cherish these times. Happy for you
Man… that’s what it’s all about!
My toddler uses this as a weapon against the older siblings.
When my little girl was four, she was really into a kids’ math show. One night after her lullaby, she told me she loved me a “sideways eight.” There are no adequate words to describe the feelings in those moments.
My 22 year old is my best friend in this world. It can take work but it gives life a meaning and purpose!
I can’t wait to experience this. It will be my world.
This is the most beautiful thing I've read today! There is no greater wealth in this world than the pure love and friendship of our children. This truly warmed my heart🤝
Thank you so much for the Zaps and for your kind appreciation! It means a lot to me that my words touched your heart. Sending much love and respect to you! 🙏💛
This is real wealth. No matter your wallet balance. Nothing else matters.

Missed this.. my daughter’s best friend is some stick she found in the forest one day.
You’ll need this memory when he’s a teenager!
I had a similar moment recently.
My daughter had her first loose tooth and was so excited about losing it.
One morning at around 5, she wakes us all up.
She goes “ guys, I have exciting news.”
“I LOST MY TOOTH.”
I just smiled. That’s why I love being a Dad.
Moments like that are quiet proof you’re doing something very right.
