Yeah. I no longer participate in the normie economy and I no longer care about living "the good life".

I don't own anything that is non-functional and doesn't fit in my suitcase or, if it's electronics, backpack. I don't own a house, a car, an AC unit, pots or pans, paintings or anything alive except maybe that spider I suspect travels with me, because none of those fit in my suitcase. I don't have an address.

I don't order anything online (no address... duh) but if I need a specific electronic part a few of my friends don't mind to order it for me and take sats in exchange.

I love buying food (as in the fresh veggies and meat that you cook) with sats but unfortunately that is very hard in most places and I swap sats for cash in person whenever I can.

I now try to make my Earl Gray tea look like Remy XO instead of just pouring the latter; I no longer buy alcohol.

I transitioned to debt-free life before bitcoin and I have kept it that way.

I have probably gone insane. But that's ok. Having fun. Surviving.

It does have an influence, since we're more responsible and think more through when making an investment, we research more (study Bitcoin), this is very true. Now I save in BTC because it's the most valuable asset and I suggest it to my friends even though they look at me like I'm crazy when I explain it, they'll thank me later...hahahaha

100%. I'm way more willing to take on (fiat) debt. I save in the same way, but the game is now all about self sovereignty. Before Bitcoin I couldn't have names this.

100% it has. I was thinking about this yesterday, if I'd have lost everything or if Bitcoin went to zero. With the knowledge I've learned I'm pretty confident I can make a comeback.

I used to listen to Dave Ramsay

I look at paper money and can't believe people around me ready to give me real things like food, tech, property, sats, in exchange of paper gov infinitely daily print.

I remember when I was a kid and we grab leafs from a tree to use it as banknotes understanding it's just a game. Now we're adult and ignore the fact we use money made out of trees from our childhood

Big time. Bitcoin, as a documented protocol, helped me understand money better fundamentally. When we codify spontaneously evolving human systems, we learn so much about ourselves.

Of course, Bitcoin opened my mind and restored hope to my long-term goals. Thanks to my encounter with Bitcoin, I had to study government currency, the kind I'd used my whole life without really knowing how it worked or where it came from. And after opening that Pandora's box, there was no going back; the awakening was inevitable.
