Because it's cool!!
I also was extremely confused every time they spread government deficit rhetoric, saying "I don't know how we're gonna pay off this debt hero deep." I would yell at the TV, "The same thing you already do, print more money!!"
I didn't know that that was the source of price inflation, but I knew as a kid that, um, duh, the government controls the money supply. They're not limited by accounting. The fact that most 50 year olds didn't understand this was so telling to me the incredible willful ignorance of most of my fellow humans in stark contrast to myself even as an angsty adolescent. Sheeple are incredibly good at deluding themselves.
My parents used to do this when I was in grade school, and I would scream at them, what the hell is wrong with you? I'm ALREADY DEPRESSED.
I already lost my job, but now I'm glad I did lmao! More time to work on my own entrepreneurial things. Despite how razor thin my earnings are vs my living expenses, I'm loving it.
Real Estate barons right now, unaware of the fact they're about to be dethroned.
And yet Americans still haven't figured out how to have decent toilets and public restrooms. I'm in favor of smarter water closets.
So stupid. Pray for those people lol
I used to be in favor of universal basic income until I learned economics and realized it was completely unnecessary and even counterproductive. Now I am in favor of universal bitcoin income! Need to heat your home? Use a hashing ASIC. Earn bitcoin for just living and doing your thing.
I'm in this hellhole but I still wish they would. Secession will put so many limits on the assholes.
Were you orange-pilled on #Bitcoin AFTER joining Nostr?
I know nostr:npub1csamkk8zu67zl9z4wkp90a462v53q775aqn5q6xzjdkxnkvcpd7srtz4x9 was but Iām sure there were others.
Would love to set up a nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 live stream panel on the topic of the purple pill leading to the orange pill and hear your stories.

Me!! I was a crapto heathen until nostriches showed me the way to Bitcoin. I got to nostr via hearing about it from Reason magazine. I was a libertarian anarchist looking for a community that really got me, and I found it!
With Bitcoin price exploding, remember to keep your heads. While one might feel 50% of the way towards buying that fancy car, flashy jewelry, Ć¼ber toy, or making a long series of indecent proposals willy nilly ( see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indecent_Proposal ), there is more to come.
Trust me, youāll regret buying those shiny things we distract ourselves with in this world. Think long term. Longer than the now.
If you must buy the things, borrow as much as you can easily afford to repay to buy it.
Trust meā¦Iām the idiot that sold 7 bitcoin to buy my wifeās minivan in 2017.
Iām the idiot that sold 100 bitcoin to pay for my (then) infant daughterās medical bills.
Iām the idiot that donated 10ās of bitcoin to the bitcoin foundation and bitcointalk.org to keep the lights on and fund development.
Cars and toys and jewelry hold nothing for me at this point. I want the bitcoin. Hold fast to them sats. Keep working in the real world. If I would have skipped selling during my first cycle, Iād be genuinely obscenely rich. Iāll never have that many bitcoin again.
Totally. Save your bitcoin, work hard for the ability to spend, and borrow, don't sell.
Feeling grateful. I got my girl at my side and my wealth intact and in the process of increasing via my little ventures in investing. Working on ourselves and enjoying ourselves every day.
