I was educated in traditional fiat finance, so it took some unwinding, but a foundation in Money and Banking history and critical thinking helped. The hair-raising epiphany point was when Republicans and Democrats all agreed to send out checks to Americans. Everything in me rose up and said, they are going to break the fucking economy. I immediately started buying "hard money." At the time that meant precious metals (gold, silver, platinum). Later, it was a combination that included Bitcoin and shitcoin. Now, it's Bitcoin only.
