Agreed.
Andreas Antonopolous speaking to a room of one. Had that on loop. First thought - he's an idiot. Thoughts after that - why? Result - ploughed into everything I could find on this idiot.
At the time I was self learning how to trade currency . But before I could do that I needed to understand how money worked . Mike Maloney had 10 x 1 hour podcast on the History of Money. Those podcasts took me three months .
So, when Andreas came along - speaking internet of money, keys, cryptography, decentralized, wallets- alien language . It was the description of paying bitcoin from the Amazon to the Sahara without a bank - I was hooked.
Your note resonates - stacking a knowledge bank, that ticks the boxes, only to create more questions - and the journey goes down many rabbit holes, from the reaction of bank regulators to Trudeau's disastrous response to Canada's Freedom Convoy - all stacked away, before data gets whitewashed.
The journey still continues - ramped up since Covid lockdown. Bitcoin is still the light at the end of the tunnel.
And now we have Nostr. I'm truly blessed.
