People ask what woke me up-
It took me a long time of just hearing truth over and over again. It clicked for me last spring when I realized bitcoin was developed as a weapon to bring down the house. It’s not about getting rich for me. It’s about defunding war and the system of slavery once and for all
Amen. Same here. Used to be a “trader”. Now in one directionally for life.

For me it started with 9/11 conspiracy theories. Conspiracies were just entertainment though, i thought nothing could be done. I was getting drunk 5+ times per week. I took a 2 week break to save money 5 years ago and never picked it back up.
I had a friend tell me i needed to check out our old bar friend's garden. This was when I discovered permaculture and i was blown away. He had lost 100+ lbs, looked 10 years younger, and grew an incredible amount of food in just 3 years.
Permaculture led me to discover nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n . Jack orange pilled me. I went learned how fiat money works.
When the front line doctors were censored during Covid-1984, the final veil of legitimacy of government lifted. I was alone when hearing about it, but clearly remember saying "That's it I'm done". I just had to say it. lol
Now #permaculture #bitcoin #FOSS #privacytech ect... give me hope and motivation to build my life on my terms
Yes, their lies become more and more absurd that it eventually serves as an awakening
Yes!
For me… in 2017 I built an off grid camper truck in Colombia. I started traveling all over the country camping in small pueblos… made my way south, and for 2 years I lived out of the truck and slowly made my way to Chile… at the time there were Venezuelan refugees everywhere fleeing their country and trying to find a place they could find work. It was heartbreaking... Accountants, Mechanics, Truck Drivers… every profession… I would give rides, money, water, food, anything I could to help along my journey… Pabellón became one of my favorite dishes. One day, I picked up a family who was walking down the highway with their luggage and a child… when I dropped the family off at the next town the lady gave me a gift, it was a small folding origami style bag made of Bolivars. It was a bag made of money. It was like a light went off in my head, and I realized that we are all going to experience the same devastating consequences one day… it’s only a matter of time. I hadn’t heard of bitcoin yet, but when I finally understood it, I remembered that moment, and I got it at a fundamental level that shook me awake.
You had the good fortune to step outside of the bubble we live in 👀💥
Won by the moral argument, then won further by the revolutionary/reformational argument.
