Absolutely.

My journey is a bit embarrassing as I looked into it then freaked when I saw the Bitcoin client was going to fill my hard drive (was too dumb to figure out pruned nodes).

Did some shitcoinery alongside Bitcoin and my aha moment was when I first took self custody from an exchange.

I read “Mastering Bitcoin” and “Bitcoin standard” and it all started coming together for me.

I’m still a dumb fuck but a dumb fuck with a Bitcoin and lightning node and a much lower time preference.
