Thought I'd share my #Bitcoin journey:

I found Bitcoin through Stefan Molyneux. He's a philosopher that was banned from YouTube during the Trump era. But he's a free market Austrian economics capitalist. Back then he debated Peter Schiff about gold vs Bitcoin.

I bought in back in 2015. Transferred my coins to a core wallet. Encrypted that wallet without ever writing down my seed phrase... AND forgot the password. My wife likes to say, "your younger self outsmarted your future self."

What's worse is I was holding some coins for my best friend on that wallet.

I worked my ass off and made my friend whole as that's my fault. I bought more in the 2017 bull run but I wasn't very successful back then and to be honest I was so disheartened from my previous experience that I ignored it until 2020.

Back in the 2021 bull run I dabbled in alts. I had bought 1 ETH for $400, but I couldn't bring myself to buy any more.

2022 I went back through the content of Bitcoiners to remember why #Bitcoin had appealed to me so much in the first place. I converted EVERYTHING back to BTC. Got myself a better hardware wallet. Made sure I have my seed phrase in a better place.

Now I've orange pilled a bunch of my friends. The only one in my family I've been able to convince is my mother.

While I ignored #Bitcoin because of my own foolishness... I'm glad I found my way back.

Thank you for reading!
