I just graduated from USC.

I now have a bachelor’s in Business Economics and a master’s in Marketing, where I took over 42 units of finance and economics courses.

And still, none of those courses taught me what I learned on my own. No class explained the truth about the broken system we live in. It was brushed off.

I found that through late nights and early mornings studying Bitcoin, questioning fiat, and questioning everything I had ever been taught about economics, realizing the financial world is built on sinking sand.

Reading Broken Money by nostr:nprofile1qqsf9g5gd6vxdkc5dsngzu0scdtwtlhc7nuscz8cxxs4qtpd3fch5rg8h9v33 built the foundation.

Reading The Bitcoin Standard and Principles of Economics by nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgkklh5m connected the dots.

The Big Print by nostr:nprofile1qqsypjyxzkns7qnxrylzsgh3h53e3sd86mq8auv24dr4mtkxdqlzjcc04yka9 lit the fire.

nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqngza3a podcast helped me put words to what I was feeling. Rage, urgency, hope, and purpose.

And hearing nostr:nprofile1qqst0dgucffpd4xpp0y94cns2hy6j307wl90633u7gajpyt7888xs9sqce8p9 about Bitcoin as a way to protect his kids’ future made me realize I want that too.

Bitcoin gave me clarity. It gave me hope.

Choosing Bitcoin isn’t about wealth. It’s about building something real for my future family. It’s the hardest money there is, one that comes with strong conviction.

I’m making a decision now, to become someone my future kids will be proud of and grateful for.

A decision to reject comfort. To choose discipline over dopamine.

I don’t want to waste my 20s watching Love Island, mindlessly scrolling TikTok, or watching football each week.

I want to understand the truth behind financial markets and why the system is built to keep us dependent.

I want to see through all the noise, stack sats, build conviction, become unshakable, and tell the story of sound money.

I’m not like the rest of my generation, and I’m okay with that.
