From my comment on Stacker news to the common question of when and how did you find Bitcoin?

--

You know how they say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink?

Well when exactly I found or heard about Bitcoin was less important than the deep curiosity that I've always had. When I found it, I went down the rabbit hole with eyes wide. It only took a few days to see that it was interesting but only after months and years has it proven to be resilient against many of the proposed threats I had read about. The key was to withhold judgement and let my curiosity guide me to understand and verify as much as I could. Bitcoin holds up well to this approach.

I had always had a vague sense that the system we live in was rigged against the majority of people, but I never fully understood how until I found Bitcoin and the people here that see the truth. Being able to understand and articulate the problem has freed me from a sense of dread that I always felt from being trapped in an abusive system and being unable to describe how I was being abused. On top of that it has given me a way to take control of my destiny and fight back. I fucking love Bitcoin.

And it doesn't even need to be rigged in a coordinated way. Could just be the kind of power dynamics you read about in history, once the narrative is condensed.

In the 21st century the fiat money empire started to crumble...

Yup, it's just been built in to the institutions at this point.
