Lol can't be what I'm not, just a normie who holds Bitcoin, why should I pretend im something else? Pretty transparent about that, as for insulating myself from the problems of the world, how did you figure that?
Because when you encounter a deep problem in the world and you understand that it didn't have to be that way, but was made that way because of fiat, you gain a deeper appreciation for bitcoin. And I don't mean noticing some theoretical thing, I mean having it impact you directly.

Well said. Can you give an example from your own experience?

Most people don't like hearing the examples I have to share

A recent example for me is the sadness I would feel after being outcast on reddit for the n:th time for saying that a spade is a spade. Karma on reddit is fiat social points, can be taken away at any moment, manipulated, botted. If I zap you on stacker, then i have given you true social points. There is no cheating that.
Another example is when I (this winter) worked for a company as their blockchain senior dev, in the project of making NFTs (ethereum) to be used as entry-tickets to their digital services. And realizing that nobody there cared about making things fair. Making our customers a system that was trustless. They just wanted to shill NFTs hoping they were gonna gain a buck. So I quit. Fuck ethereum and aristocratic "proof of stake".
