When I first got interested in bitcoin 11 years ago, I was ridiculed, made fun of, and everyone thought i was crazy. It was a very lonely world, but yet, I thought it had potential and decided to persist. I could make the argument that they slowed my confidence, but ultimately, that’s on me.
Then a few years in, I discovered crypto twitter where I was able to find some group of people who were thinking alike. It gave me faith and I started to embrace it more aggressively. Looking back, those seemed to be the brighter days.
Now that people are more widely adopting bitcoin, I find myself once again feeling ostracized and alone.
Funny enough, this time, it’s pretty much with EVERY other issues. Bitcoin made me question things and change my opinion on a lot. However I still think I have the same fundamental values I always had. I just don’t believe in the same solutions as others.
