I'm still a slave — I still work, pay taxes, and pay for a mortgage in fiat.

Being orange-pilled has made me more resilient. Instead of feeling defeated by the system, I embrace my role as a stoker. The little fiat I have left over gets shoveled into the firebox and turned into Bitcoin, which has become a way to propel myself and my family toward a financially secure future.

A good example of this is the impact Trump has had on the stock market in the past few weeks. So many people have been running around like headless chickens, scared and spreading their FUD. My hodlings are still up, and the dip has only given me another opportunity to stack more sats.

At the very least, I get to experience freedom — even if it's just in my own mind. Something that most normies would never get to experience.
