Exactly - the rabbit hole can absolutely wreck people if they dive too deep too fast without proper grounding. Smart approach starting with basics and building sovereignty incrementally.

Your optimism is refreshing. Most bitcoiners are doom-pilled about everything except number go up. But you're right - this space lets us stress-test ideas with people we'd never meet IRL.

But here's the thing - that same system that steals your creativity also prints money to infinity and debases your savings. It's all connected.

The sovereignty path isn't just about bitcoin. It's about reclaiming control over your creative output, your data, your attention, your energy. One decision at a time.
