I have never traded stocks, but that was a wakeup call that I and only I should have complete control over my economic energy.
been humble and stacking sats since.
the idea of having money not made by "the government".
At the time that was a completely new concept to me and it was my entrance into the rabbit hole
Just out of curiousity or for any specific reason it was appealing to have money not from government?
Well tbh
Friends of mine were CONSTANTLY talking about btc and crypto in the 2017 bullrun. It kinda sparked my interest, but I hated it at the time, cuz they couldn’t stop talking about it. Then, I got a bonus at work, or a raise, whatever. That was early 2019, an I wanted to invest it. Soo I started asking about where to begin. At first I went with LTC and shitcoins(not sure why). Later on I kept learning about blockchain, BTC, and so on. And now I’m a #BTC maxi.

Well, it was the price going up. It was gambling for me at first to make more money. I bought for 100 and sold for 300 at that time, thought I was just lucky and wanted to never touch it again. That was 2020 before the bull run.
Then Covid came in along and I had more time. Also clubhouse had its short hype. There were people talking about bitcoin in german. They educated people. Real Bitcoiners.
I got very very curious and completely fell into the rabbit hole. I think the main point that made me curious was the governments printing a lot of money at the beginning of covid. That will lead to a massive inflation I thought. Now we have it a few years later.
Basically, the covid madness.
Here in Italy we have been blackmailed to get “vaccinated”. That opened my eyes once and for all about many things.
The banking clampdown of the Canadian trucker strike is what made me appreciate the need for censorship resistant payments.
