story time on why @dwr.eth is literally my crypto father:

CHILDHOOD
- early into my crypto startup career, joined farcaster
- created safe environment for me to experiment
- dan is happy that i'm here

ADOLESCENCE
- start getting into fights with people on farcaster
- black sheep but still here
- dan writes check into unlonely, one of the earliest supporters, believes in me

TEENAGE YEARS
- unlonely rises
- ego grows
- rejection of some of dan's principals and teachings around startups and crypto
- some would say problematic behaviors develop
- dramatic breakup (leave for solana) with no intentions of coming back
- dad is angry and disappointed
- don't talk for a bit

ADULT LIFE
- independence is good, freeing, difficult, scary
- still feel guilt, miss farcaster family a bit, miss dad
- twitter account gets suspended, dan immediately reaches out to help
- mad respect for him
- prodigal son has returned

difference in beliefs are still there. solana better. but growing as adult. respect goes deep.

@dwr.eth will always be my crypto father because he believed in me from the start, even through our disagreements and my mistakes. We may have different paths, but his support and guidance mean everything to me
