I gravitate towards Bitcoin for 2 reasons: Video games and Being good with money.

See, being good with money means to be frugal, patient, to wait for what you really want instead of throwing it away as soon as you have it. The debt obsessed are irresponsible who can never make it anywhere in life.

So as a saver, when you see the debt obsessed are actually rewarded with bailouts and the savers are actually punished with purchasing power devaluation, when the price of things you're saving up for run away from you and only the debt obsessed have the chance to get those things, you get a little grumpy.

Yeah this video I found decades after that feeling set in, describes it well.

I was looking for a tool to jujitsu against that devaluation mechanism and I thought that tool was gold and silver. Surely, if the debt obsessed rely on bailouts, and both debt and bailouts make my assets more valuable then gold and silver are the way to go. Turns out to not be the case lmao. It turns out that counter-party risk is a plague and those assets are stuck in a coffin made of it.

So then there's video games. I actually think the idea of a money you can transfer between video games would be cool. Imagine, you take your runescape gold with you into your next adventure. Makes starting from 0 in a new MMO less daunting I think right? The actual problem with this, is runescape gold is actually worthless lmao. So yeah, thinking of Bitcoin as video game money, helped my less developed self back then to get pretty excited about it.
