It looks like we will have some extra free days at school during the time of BTC Prague, and I was considering going to Prague for a weekend getaway. I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to visit the event with kids (9 and 3) and whether it makes sense to get the Bitcoin Expo ticket (https://btcprague.com/#).
Has anyone attended this event with kids in previous years? Any insights or experiences would be appreciated!

I have been telling my friends and co-workers to buy Bitcoin for years, and for years they have not listened to me. Now, they all call me "rich" (I am not) and ask me when I am going to retire. How do I tell them they are getting on my nerves because they didn't listen to me?

nothing like idiomatic Rust code, they are very different kind of beast
trying to bridge a huge semantic gap. And they aren't doing that in a
few places, because they are showed into every little subsystem and
library right now.

In a digital era that is increasingly controlled by large companies, the emergence of Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a breath of fresh air for those who crave freedom of expression.
Nostr is a cryptography-based protocol that allows users to send and receive messages through a relay network. Unlike conventional social media such as Twitter or Facebook
1.Full Decentralization: No company or government can remove or restrict content.
2.Sensor-Resistant: Information remains accessible despite blocking attempts.
3.Privacy and Security: Uses cryptography to ensure that only users who have the keys can access their messages.* **

On a retreat to the mountains, I escape
to step outside of regular life for a time.
The peaks dressed in winter white,
time refrigerated by the falling flakes,
and lovely folks around me, old and new,
alight all the artist parts of my brain.
On a shelf in an old bookstore,
I meet myself, a mixture of the past and future,
and she is disappointed, mournful.
While browsing poetry titles, she cries.
I listen to her, and she says,
you’re running out of time.
On a separate shopping excursion,
I adopt a pair of sunglasses -
two perfect black circles to conceal
the passing of time that my eyes can’t hide.
I show my friend of photo of me at 16,
she says, you look exactly the same.
On my return flight, all that I am
packaged back inside my bags, inside my body,
my appetite for life appeased for the moment,
I decide I like myself, and I can change,
as everything will mix with time,
coming out the other side, beautiful.
