You have the right attitude. Like I said in the post, I'm pretty old, and I discovered the Austrian school way back in the late 1980s. I became a hard money gold bug almost immediately, like most guys did after being exposed to Von Mises, Hayek, et al. When the ETFs came in 2005, I think, everyone was excited. Gold did appreciate as a result, but as the years went by it became obvious that paper gold was controlling the price, like the fiat governments and big banks wanted. That's where my fear comes in. I know the arguments as to why this can't happen to bitcoin, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not apprehensive.

Believe it or not, I went to a bookstore during my lunch break one day and found a paperback copy of Anarchy, State, And Utopia by Robert Nozick. That's all it took. Really turned my notion of the world upside down. Of course Ron Paul was and is THE MAN.
