Found #Bitcoin in mid 2023, after our Son was born. I always thought it (and all #crypto) was a ponsy scheme and/or scam. However, I gave it a second chance because of British_Hodl's videos while looking to provide a future for our kids. Went full blown #Bitcoiner within 30 days (about 120 hours of listening to #BTC content, reading the White Paper, and listening to saifedean (nprofile…pv40)'s #BitcoinStandard), and started liquidating any long term savings from "safe" investments like CDs immediately. We left short term emergency reserves in USD to reduce tax liability. Skipped 99.99% of shitcoin degeneracy by hearing other people's stories.
My #crypto #confession is that I bought Shib in 2017, and some XRP. Insignificant amounts at the time, since I viewed it as gambling. That's my 0.01%, there to remind me that shitcoins are not the way.
You find #Bitcoin when you need it. #Hodl for your last name. #Bitcoin is the great financial equalizer.
