It took Orange Man and her feeling pretty dejected by the election outcomes to push her over the edge. Bitcoin = the most tangible and visible way to opt out, a vote-of-no-confidence in discretionary monetary policy (but, also, political machinery...).
She has asked tons of questions over the last ~3 months, consumed maybe 5 hours of material and probably thought about bitcoin for something like 50 hours in total. So it wasn't entirely out of the blue.
(All zaps will go to her, obviously).
