GM SO! For me it was the understanding Trace Mayer’s 7 types of network effects that occur in the Bitcoin ecosystem: - Speculation - Merchant Adoption - Consumer Adoption - Security - Developer Mindshare - Financialization - Adoption as a World Reserve Currency That the above-listed network effects can only serve to strengthen it making any competition highly unlikely to take over. HBU?

Ah ha!

I honestly don’t remember having my a-ha moment. I think it’s because I’m such a skeptic that when I did start my journey down the rabbit hole I went through it with a mindset of punching and kicking to avoid falling for something that seemed too good to be true. I tried to look for it’s weaknesses. I would seek out as much FUD as possible to look for patterns. I’m not super computer savvy and I still don’t fully grasp a lot of the inner workings, but I figure Satoshi left us a fucking beautiful canary so we would always know as long as his stack is secure, then our little piece of the pie was for sure going to be safe. I think for me it was just a curing process that took years to solidify. That’s my a-ha moment.

solid insights, and indeed conviction is built through inquisitive doubt! i went through a similar path, inevitably falling in shitcoins before coming back did you do any shitcoins to test your hypothesis?

Yeah I messed around with Litecoin, since it was like a cheaper “testcoin”.

21M scarcityvs an abundant world, trying to fight for retaining my life energy for my family.... thanks!!

I love this as a starting point though I wrote out how I see it in a simplistic way. WDYT? I feel the Free Market recognises the CONSUMER in a unique way- non spending in the credit /theft system as a first step of development. A unique flex!
