I remember because it was days after my bestie kidnapped me for my birthday and had an anarchist festival in Slab City. I get back home, see Snowden taking about uncensorable decentralized social media which was exactly what I was looking for for quite a while at the point and I joined right then. I see this lovely community and the protocol that ran it. Then I start learning from the ground up about Bitcoin, something I wanted to get into since college. I wanted to mine but didn&#39;t know how/was worried about electricity cost. I wanted to buy in 2012, I wanted to buy every year but would look and think &#34;1 coin is 5k but I need to pay this bill,l&#34; or I need this equipment for filming. I didn&#39;t even know you could buy less than a whole coin at a time. I thought it was all just past me. Number keeps going up. With my art I thought maybe nfts were the only way to get in at that point, and that digital proof of ownership could work well selling art pieces. Then people weren&#39;t interested in anything more than shit art and all those ended up being scams🤷🏽 I just didn&#39;t want to associate. But then on Nostr I&#39;m surrounded by people that send 21 sats when I say &#34;lol&#34; and upwards of 1k at the least and much much higher when I post things of actual value.&#xA;&#xA;I started with 0bitcoin in Feb. After a few months of helpful plebs I had a number where I was like wow... This is what I wanted years ago.&#xA;&#xA;Now at this point, I&#39;ve gotten paid for an actual job via Bitcoin, 3 months in a row I&#39;ve stacked on my own with robosats, and number slowly ticks up because I still post long philosophical ideas and movie breakdowns, as well as &#34;lol&#34;&#xA;&#xA;So again. Keep talking about Bitcoin. Because you saved me. I wanted to be saved but didn&#39;t know it was still possible. 🤷🏽&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;nostr:nevent1qqs0fqjsgrncpzla96durdjlpfglwq3frm408t434nr5wuxn6g9rvdspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyr02k7w6lgwzhe955mf6egf40dk25zm5f06x44ff5khyvs5g270xsqcyqqqqqqghxzwmn</html></oembed>
