Did you enjoy the holiday?
Did it briefly interupt things,
the cycle of conviction you tend to,
or the setting of convenience you sleep in?
Did you think about time sliding by,
chunking into years, numbers,
a solid thing of memories and data,
or instead-floating on a misty cloud,
Remember and Forget dancing partners
in your cloudy thoughts?
Did you see persons known as family
embrace the cheerful holiday?
Chat with you on this and that,
penetrate the superficial,
pardon the interruption of your timely musings.
Did the reality of their life surprise you?
Their own cycles neglected,
their timelines entwined, numbering multitudes,
indifferently to you.
Did you think of years ahead,
what will take place,
what may be undone?
The next holiday comes,
plans and place-settings
gather the family once more.
Time marches forward,
and you are still, probably
digesting Thanksgiving.
Did you know BIP39 had a 5th author who removed himself?

Thomas Voegtlin(creator of Electrum) removed himself from the authors after multiple disagreements with the BIP39 design.
If you are not aware there was quite a bit of drama on the Bitcoin mailing list around '13 when the standard was being proposed.
For context, Electrum was the 1st deterministic Bitcoin wallet that allowed for a BIP32 seed to be backed up into 12 words, and then came BIP39.
In all fairness BIP39 was kinda rushed, and even though valid criticism was provided regarding it's shortcomings, they were ignored.
Electrum has its own backup scheme that supports versioning & is not dependent on a dictionary, vastly superior IMO.
Here are a few options for simple swaps
Beyond acquiring enough income to provide yourself and those you support with the basics of survival, it's really a desire for more ease, comfort, and opportunities for enjoyment. Some want more than the basics for survival. It's true that sometimes people get carried away, and work becomes the sole focus of living. Why? Work can be the most interesting, enjoyable, and fulfilling part of your life. It's true. I have experienced it myself.
The single most effective thing you can do is provide evidence (the harder the evidence the better) it'll make them more money than it will cost them.
Quite a few bitcoin payment companies offer plugins to major ecommerce sites. If you are comfortable self-hosting the payment stuff, BTC Pay Server seems to be the standard.
