I was in 6th grade, and over the course of the wars that ensued, and the older I got and the more I realized how they are just games being played by people with money and "power" through that monetary exploitation I just became more and more disillusioned to it all.
I gave up on it all as a scam. I started learning about Bitcoin in 2018, began having some optimism in the incentives itnorovided. And then by the time 2020s bullshit hit that was truly when I realized how aggressive this reach for the remainder of our "rights" the permit us to have were in imminent threat.
So for me, most my adolescent and adult life was like a flip was switched from that. And the world was once again never the same.
Let alone all the shit that actually happens behind all the presented narratives.
