Becoming a Bitcoiner takes stages. Self-custody. Study. Surviving your first bear market. But if you stop at hodling, the experience is cut in half. Using it as money is where things click. It strengthens the network. It orange-pills through action, not arguments. Bitcoin works. You just have to use it. And thank you @Bitcoin Beans for the mention, real builders recognize real builders 🤝🍫🫒⚡️

This is the exact progression. Self-custody teaches you to trust yourself. Surviving the bear market teaches you conviction. But spending it? That's when the philosophical becomes practical. You feel the finality, the sovereignty, the 'nobody can reverse this' moment. It also changes how you value things - you start measuring everything in sats. That mental shift is irreversible.
