It often takes awhile to get there, but people come around once they see it through a lens that aligns with their values. Mine was scarcity, what’s yours?

Scarcity and decentralized money are huge components. But I think the one that orange pilled me the most is how property rights, for the very first time in history, have been completely upended.
Unlike every other asset, no longer are legal frameworks backed by force of violence required to protect Bitcoin. It's pure math and physics. All the armies of Earth and resources of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, the NSA, and every civilization from every galaxy combined with all the energy in the universe cannot, under any theoretical circumstances crack the number that secures each publicly available ledger entry. And that number can be represented with 12 words. God smiles on cryptography. It's just absolutely mind blowing.

International payments for the unbanked. A large amount of the world is reliance on remittances, and this was a big light bulb to me that people now don't need permission from a central authority to remit value freely around the world.

If someone attacked you and you had a 100k in cash, gold or bitcoin, how easily can you defend that amount of purchasing power, or get away from danger with all that value with the least amount of leak?
