So instead of buying Bitcoin in 2014, I went out and bought silver, and waited for the apocalypse to arrive.
When it didn't and I started getting income (not wagecuck, freelance), I started thinking about investments. I still wanted something that supported what I believed in, (an odd mix of anarcho-punk-libertarian) and that's when I found Bitcoin again. For the third time.

I fucking hated it.

1MBs? Lightning Network?

This didn't seem sensible and I didn't want to put money into it. I didn't really know much about the big blockers, and I (again) didn't do my own research.

I read a bunch of articles on the Economist and Yahoo Finance about Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Ethereum made sense to me. Still think there is some value there, but I don't think it's gonna take longer, and be smaller than what people imagine.

Most people don't care or want decentralization. My normie sister WANTS apple to own all her info. She wants things to be easier and cares very little about security and shit. I totally understand. We are all fucking surveilled anyway. My SSN and credit report is all out there connected to a port somewhere, if not hacked already.

Anyway I still bought some Eth, made a bunch of money. Way more than I expected and way sooner than I expected (I caught the very start of the bull run).
