It started with Ron Paul. A tale as old as time. I heard about bitcoin very early on and was interested. Downloaded bitcoin with the intention of using it. Totally forgot about it until 2017. During this span of time I fell down the rabbit hole of Austrian economics. I was interested in bitcoin and crypto from 2017 on but didn't really dig in and connect the dots until 2020. In 2020 I started to see that bitcoin is the answer to so many issues I see in society. The money printing in response to Covid and the free time led to a deeper exploration. Learning the tools and doing my own research is what really orange pilled me. Seeing for myself how hard it would be to stop bitcoin and how resistant it is to censorship.

The other part of this was that during the covid years I renewed my focus on living with integrity and living my beliefs. IE, if i really believe the fiat system is at the core of the problems then why on earth am I NOT focusing on it. I began to see a lot of so called freedom lovers as hypocrites. I started to see myself that way. Bitcoin was one of many things that I changed in my personal life.
