I just graduated from USC.

I now have a bachelor’s in Business Economics and a master’s in Marketing, where I took over 42 units of finance and economics courses.

And still, none of those courses taught me what I learned on my own. No class explained the truth about the broken system we live in. It was brushed off.

I found that through late nights and early mornings studying Bitcoin, questioning fiat, and questioning everything I had ever been taught about economics, realizing the financial world is built on sinking sand.

Reading Broken Money by nostr:nprofile1qqsf9g5gd6vxdkc5dsngzu0scdtwtlhc7nuscz8cxxs4qtpd3fch5rg8h9v33 built the foundation.

Reading The Bitcoin Standard and Principles of Economics by nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgkklh5m connected the dots.

The Big Print by nostr:nprofile1qqsypjyxzkns7qnxrylzsgh3h53e3sd86mq8auv24dr4mtkxdqlzjcc04yka9 lit the fire.

nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqngza3a podcast helped me put words to what I was feeling. Rage, urgency, hope, and purpose.

And hearing nostr:nprofile1qqst0dgucffpd4xpp0y94cns2hy6j307wl90633u7gajpyt7888xs9sqce8p9 about Bitcoin as a way to protect his kids’ future made me realize I want that too.

Bitcoin gave me clarity. It gave me hope.

Choosing Bitcoin isn’t about wealth. It’s about building something real for my future family. It’s the hardest money there is, one that comes with strong conviction.

I’m making a decision now, to become someone my future kids will be proud of and grateful for.

A decision to reject comfort. To choose discipline over dopamine.

I don’t want to waste my 20s watching Love Island, mindlessly scrolling TikTok, or watching football each week.

I want to understand the truth behind financial markets and why the system is built to keep us dependent.

I want to see through all the noise, stack sats, build conviction, become unshakable, and tell the story of sound money.

I’m not like the rest of my generation, and I’m okay with that.

Congrats. Bitcoin didn’t just teach you money. It taught you what they refused to.

Congratulations! 🤙🏻💜🫂

Welcome

Nice!!!

Hell yea!

The most valuable part of my Economics degree was the moment, reading Saifedean and Lyn, that I realized it was all BS.

Welcome!

Need a shoe on head pic

Welcome! Refreshing!! 🧡

Your post refers to the Bitcoin curriculum which will be the standard soon enough

Read Softwar and then watch Jason Lowery on nostr:nprofile1qqsg2zqd8wkhpnxu6lm5c2dyfa2mhpwte57apjae2ldp6g2mmwf3ypqprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj730q9thwumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99ah8qatzx9en27t3xemkzerhwfuxgef5d35xvue4xenkud35dpmh5atgdenxzdnj89kk5dphxeer2ue5dp4h2mn6vaa8zunnxecnw7sfqqvqk channel.

Welcome home! đź«‚

Come here for the bitcoin and decentralization, but you usually end up staying for the the memes, vibes, people, and overall sass of the community

But glad to have you here! Especially representing the youngsters. Not as much faith after hearing that you are still feeling like the outlier….haha

There is plenty of bitcoin and bitcoin talk here, as well as obviously the ethos and libertarian mindset that normally comes with it, but you can still have a little dose of that dopamine here (still ok to have a little of this non-algorithmic laughs and memes). Just feels so much cleaner here….

Nice stems!

Agreed. I have learned more about business and finance from my own research than any of my classes taken over the last 3 years. You realize what you are learning in most business classes is for the traditional, illogical system. I’m trying to teach myself about financial truths through Bitcoin.

Welcome to the real world

congrats! but the truth is depressive.

the truth will set you free. you must have not found the truth yet

oh, I did, actually, and I am free. but the truth is still depressive ))

why do you say that? I was in a similar situation for a while until I realized I can just exit. using bitcoin, nostr, homeschooling and attaining control over my food supply. making friends along the way. who care what the rest are doing.

I exited in 2009

This is awesome! So happy for you. Your future is incredibly bright.

At this stage University is only about getting a certificate, not about learning

Congratulations

👍👏

Congrats!!!! 🥂

Summa cum laude as well đź’Ą

Congratulations! POW right there.

We have far better tools today than I did back in my college days. A degree can open doors, but it’s our attitude and willingness to learn that matter most. Today, nothing pays more than lifelong curiosity and the drive to succeed. Good luck!

Love it... Congrats!

Please explain when you say you want to build something that is “real” for your future. I know you’re referring to bitcoin. Can you be more specific? What is real to you?

Which school at USC?

Fight on ✌️
