Not afraid to admit that it wasn’t until ETF approval did I really start paying attention. Before that, I just assumed that anything that challenged the USD would be co-opted and destroyed. I didn’t do the research, and I sincerely regret that.
That being said, it wasn’t out of admiration, or needing permission for me. It was the fact that Blackrock, who basically owns the United States, was buying bitcoin. That was my wake up call. “Idk what BTC is yet, by I have to own some before wallstreet buys it all.”
I listened to the Bitcoin standard over the course of a few days any moment I could and I was orange pilled. Started my cold storage stack, bought guns, started gardening, payed more attention to my overall health and diet. Bitcoin is such a gateway to a full life and I’ll never be embarrassed to say what started my journey.
