Bill Clinton to Nelson Mandela:
“Tell me the truth. When you were leaving prison after twenty-seven years and walking down that road to freedom, didn't you hate them all over again?”
Mandela:
"Absolutely I did, because they'd imprisoned me for so long. I was abused. I didn't get to see my children grow up. I lost my marriage and the best years of my life. I was angry. And I was afraid, because I had not been free in so long. But as I got closer to the car that would take me away, I realized that when I went through that gate, if I still hated them, they would still have me. I wanted to be free. And so I let it go."
That was my second home hotpot and learned a lot:
- Make sure to read the labels on Asian ingredients. The shrimp balls were full of fish roe, not a big hit with anyone especially the kids.
- Filter the broth before using. Duh.
- Peppers no good in soup, just add to your bowl

Satoshi himself uploaded the Bitcoin whitepaper to bitcoin.org. It's linked too from millions of pages, and cited by thousands of academic papers . Us removing it would be a betrayal to his legacy. It will never happen.
