Was the Bitcoin Standard a big part of your orange pilling?
No, I found it simplified, unintelligent, and dumb. I was balls-deep in monetary history at the time, and the surface-level shit that Saif brought was less than impressive. (I was also mostly a sour/anti-Bitcoiner at the time, so maybe doesn't count for much.)

hint, hint, I wrote up another, briefer take for BM in recent months and will throw it out there when it makes sense to do so
