I started contributing to open source projects that were Bitcoin related and kept going.
Honestly, this world opened up for me because I know how to code. I can't emphasize how much of a superpower this is.

I can't agree more. I enjoy coding so much I have a hard time enjoying anything else by comparison.
How long did it take you to appreciate the importance of Bitcoin and its monetary policy? It sounds like it was at least initially technically interesting to you but with most of us the significance takes a lot longer.

I got the scarcity part immediately. As soon as I heard about the 21 million limit, I wanted some.
The deeper monetary stuff, I don't think I really got until I was reviewing Saifedean's book. I read his first draft and I knew then that this was the real reason for my desiring scarce assets.
