 When covid started, I was terrified of speaking out against it online. But then things got so ridiculous that I said screw it, grew a pair, and started sharing my face along with my “controversial” opinions. Same with politics. 

I’ve had trolls come at me a few times, but I’ve also found my now fiancé so it was all worth it 😄

Either way, one has to have very thick skin on the internet. I’m still working on it.

 I salute you 🫡 Talking on fb and ig with my face was pointless, didn’t change nobody’s mind but learn that people are dumb and need to be told what to do to feel safe.

Bitcoin twitter was the only sane place. Bitcoiners didn’t give a shit and fought since the start against the madness. Speaking with a nym was more effective for me and if banned, could make another one. Made some beautiful people back then 🫡 I remember all of you who didn’t give in to #covid madness 🫂 

People who fought institutions back then, I owe you my sanity. Beautiful hearts all you, real plebs 🧡

 Right back at you, sir 🫡 Every effort at speaking up and pushing back against the BS counts! 

I gave up on FB & IG real quick too. I found my people on Twitter: toxic bitcoiners 🔥 Wish there were more of them on here!
