Before the first wallet is downloaded, before the first sats are stacked, before someone discovers freedom money or open networks — there is usually a mother somewhere in the story.

Mother’s Day is a reminder that behind many curious minds, resilient builders, and hopeful Bitcoiners are women who carried, raised, taught, sacrificed, and endured more than most people will ever fully see.

Some mothers are raising children through inflation, power cuts, rising food prices, and uncertainty — yet still somehow finding ways to keep hope alive at the dinner table.

And maybe that’s part of what Bitcoin is really about too: creating a better future for the next generation.

So today, we celebrate the mothers bringing Bitcoiners into the world. The ones teaching responsibility, patience, courage, and survival long before their children ever hear the words “private keys” or “financial sovereignty.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers — the original proof-of-work.
