Before I bought bitcoin I spent 5 years being black pilled and defeatist about the economy post GFC.
I was stuck in the same nihilistic delusion that many are still in today.
Basically the belief was that everything was rigged, capitalism was over and nothing I could do was going to change my personal trajectory.
Then one day i had a particularly heavy DMT trip and it shattered those perceptual illusions and left me open to the idea that reality was actually a lot more malleable and full of potential than I had previously considered.
Recognizing that I had the ability to change things, then I found bitcoin.
And what I once saw as an inevitable collapse, I began to see as the greatest opportunity in history. A transfer of wealth and power in history for those who have the courage to seize it.
A way to break the chains of the slave system.
So I went all in, because fuck it…
My delusions weren’t serving me anyway.
