As a lot of people, I started off as a shitcoiner during the 2016 hype cycle. After I read Saifedean's book, the big ideas from the history of money - salability, scarcity etc - began to click. Once I saw the various nation states respond to COVID-19, there was no turning back. Centralization of power is the big evil in this world. Bitcoin breaks this vicious cycle of centralized power structures vying for authority over us all.
