It's difficult to break yourself from the fiat investment mindset and spend potentially hundreds of hours ingesting what Bitcoin is and offers. It's taken me a solid two years of heavy podcast listening, reading, playing with wallets, exploring all the "flaws", getting in far over my head technically, learning how it works through mining, fee markets, utxo, mixing, Lightning.

As clear as the idea is to me now I still almost can't believe it.

And conveying that to others I find equally difficult if they aren't willing to entertain the deeply complex layers of implications that Bitcoin touches on.

It takes someone open to a full paradigm shift of beliefs beyond just earning more value in fiat. This is an opt in system. It's far from perfect. It is fair as long as you understand the rules.

It isn't certain. I'm still on a journey of learning as much as I can. Yet it still feels too obvious to be true. But I'm here for whatever it brings. This is far too interesting to just sit on the side and shrug off.

Also, appreciate your history reminders.
