My earliest memory of a world event is 9/11.

The 2008 financial crisis hit my freshman year of high school, and the U.S. has been at war for most of my life.

When you're born on a sinking ship, extremes start to make sense.

In my early twenties, I voted for the "Democratic Socialists." They got me.

I grew up watching the Bush and Cheney years, so Republicans weren't an option. The other side kept promising free stuff to us young people who felt like we did everything right and were still screwed.

We were raised to believe success came from good grades and pleasing authority. We learned how to win inside a hierarchy, so when the system started collapsing, our instinct was to keep playing by its rules.

At first I thought Bitcoin was radical. Now I realize it's the only sensible middle path.

Knowing this makes it frustrating to watch everyone fight over left and right while the real solution already exists.

I'm holed up in a small farming town that grows its own food. The world feels far away here. I fixed the money for myself, but there's no satiating the beast.

These politics will come for everyone eventually.

What is there to do, but get more people on Bitcoin?
