Why BTC?

I spent years trying to ‘better’ myself financially only to crash and burn more than once. I came across bitcoin a couple of times over the years but didn’t have the time to understand it. This is the catch-22 for most people who need it; we’re all too busy running around like headless chickens trying to keep up.

Bitcoin was in the news because the price had jumped when I found myself with time and a need to look after a family member. I thought let me look at this properly and see if this is the solution. I spent a lot of time online and learnt a lot but got caught up in the hype. Go to local meetups. Ask questions. I recommend learning what money is first, how our current monetary system works, then understanding why bitcoin is the solution.

I went to a conference I liked but I didn’t speak to anyone. Then I found Cyphermunk House and it felt like a safe haven where I could relax, meet interesting people and everyone is learning from each other.

I had lost my faith in humanity before this. The cyphermunks have touched my soul. Maybe it’s that aside from them being a great bunch of people, I can be in touch with my own humanity, instead of in my head working out how to earn enough money just to get by and have a safety net. Now I’m open to the world as it could be if we weren’t all scrambling around being manipulated by governments and the banking system. There is hope. Learn bitcoin. It is the safety net.
