Agreed.
Andreas Antonopolous speaking to a room of one. Had that on loop. First thought - he's an idiot. Thoughts after that - why? Result - ploughed into everything I could find on this idiot.
At the time I was self learning how to trade currency . But before I could do that I needed to understand how money worked . Mike Maloney had 10 x 1 hour podcast on the History of Money. Those podcasts took me three months .
So, when Andreas came along - speaking internet of money, keys, cryptography, decentralized, wallets- alien language . It was the description of paying bitcoin from the Amazon to the Sahara without a bank - I was hooked.
Your note resonates - stacking a knowledge bank, that ticks the boxes, only to create more questions - and the journey goes down many rabbit holes, from the reaction of bank regulators to Trudeau's disastrous response to Canada's Freedom Convoy - all stacked away, before data gets whitewashed.
The journey still continues - ramped up since Covid lockdown. Bitcoin is still the light at the end of the tunnel.
And now we have Nostr. I'm truly blessed.

Great to read some of your story, thanks for sharing. Sounds like you’ve been in the game longer than me but there’s a lot that resonates 🙏🏽
I’m making nostr my first port of call as far as social media goes, in order to make quality connections with like minded people, it really does feel like walking alone in the dessert out there not knowing any bitcoiners in real life. One thing that has really struck me about nostr is the positivity and sincerity of so many people. I’m not a religious man but having a vision for a better world and surrounding yourself with others that share that vision in a way that’s personal to them is really inspiring and a blessing.
