No one can become a rightful Bitcoin Maxi until they embrace 3 things:
To be disillusioned w/ Fiat money
To understand the Cypherpunks
To begin w/ those two premise as a basis and accept Bitcoin as a lifelong study.
I only lay this out as it’s helped me separate the wheat from the chaff.
If anyone fails in any one of these, stop listening to them, they haven’t done their proof of work yet.
Yeh my journey started with me learning about Austrian economics and the history of money.
But I didn’t really understand bitcoin until I understood technical aspects and why the cypherpunks created it and were first to adopt it.
Kudos! My journey didn’t start there, but when I began learning about those two simple/not so simple things, it all became clear. I couldn’t “unsee” the complete Fiat bullshit that has the world in a stranglehold. It was massive, and real.
