Bought bitcoin. It crashed. 2 years later, it uncrashed. Bought The Bitcoin Standard for some reason. Read it with eyes wide open in bed. Watched Andreas M. Antonopoulos talking how he lost weight on stage because of Bitcoin.

Started running a shitty bitcoin node using a RPi3 I already had in the hope to make money on routing fees at some point. When I asked if RPi3 is also okay (like people who ask if Pepsi is also okay when people mention Coca-Cola), people in the raspiblitz TG group only wished me good luck with no further explanations. I felt entitled to help I didn't receive so I just used the RPi3 anyway. After several months where it kept freezing up even though I changed nothing between the attempts, I remembered what the TG group said and had to accept that they were right. It was a dumb idea of a dumb person that already made up his dumb mind. Now, I was still dumb but less dumb thanks to my experience of doing dumb things that turned out to be dumb.

Read more stuff like Mastering Bitcoin, The Internet of Money, lurked in r/bitcoin, discovered SN. Rest is history. Still feel dumb though.
