Hey Bircoiners, I’ve got to ask: what did it for you?
What was the “aha!” moment that finally made you take the orange pill and never look back?
Was it a meme? A book? A transaction that clicked? Share your story, always curious to hear what finally flips the switch! ⚡️

The informal markets in ghana. I had the opportunity to conduct research on mobile money (MoMo) at the Makola market in Accra. I interviewed about 200 merchants, trying to understand their perception of MoMo, how they used it, problems they faced, etc. I had already been a big Bitcoin fan at the time, but after spending so much time in the markets observing and listening to the merchants I realized that Bitcoin was THE answer, to everything. All of the problems, all of their concerns, could all be solved by Bitcoin (as opposed to better MoMo systems, or more government intervention), on top of the fact that their currency is inflating by about 30% per year. Like I said I was already a big fan of Bitcoin (and free markets) but this was the one thing that sticks out in my mind as a real turning point, or turning on point.
