Found #Bitcoin in mid 2023, after our Son was born. I always thought it (and all #crypto) was a ponsy scheme and/or scam. However, I gave it a second chance because of British_Hodl's videos while looking to provide a future for our kids. Went full blown #Bitcoiner within 30 days (about 120 hours of listening to #BTC content, reading the White Paper, and listening to nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0appv40's #BitcoinStandard), and started liquidating any long term savings from "safe" investments like CDs immediately. We left short term emergency reserves in USD to reduce tax liability. Skipped 99.99% of shitcoin degeneracy by hearing other people's stories.

My #crypto #confession is that I bought Shib in 2017, and some XRP. Insignificant amounts at the time, since I viewed it as gambling. That's my 0.01%, there to remind me that shitcoins are not the way.

You find #Bitcoin when you need it. #Hodl for your last name. #Bitcoin is the great financial equalizer.

I started during covid lock down, had nothing to do, so dive in reading cryptos currency. Started with XRP, as knowledge grow, I turn to #Bitcoin, now fully Bitcoin as digital asset beside #gold as my stablecoins. Reducing most fiat currency.

Nice, great time to start.

I would thank to Covid 🤭🤭 at we are front run institutions now. Because of #DCA I manage to lower my #Bitcoin average. I keep buying when it fall to the lowest after making ATH.
