Was interested in politics and hopeful-ish around the Obama presidency. But saw the excesses of banking and outside finance all the wiretapping & war industry... no one really willing to fix it. "Occupy Wall St." getting obviously maligned like a psy-op while we do another decade of bailouts and QE.

Realized there is no one out there actually controlling the bus and figured, "why not hold a little bitcoin?" I also was interested in economics early on in school, but moved away from it because I intuitively understood there was something off about the equations and Keynes and endless BRRRR. Eventually found Austrian economics and some of the more fringe histories of the Fed and WWI, and that was actually more orange/gold pilling than any Bitcoin media.
