 Since finding Bitcoin & then reading Atlas shrugged, I've been a little fixated on withdrawing my attention from the fiat system. I've been fantasising about creating & then retreating to my own Galt's Gulch.

This idea continued to dominate my consciousness & it grew within me.

I was caught in the scarcity trap of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is absolute scarcity. I don't have enough Bitcoin. How will I feed my family & still stack for the future.

I made the leap on July 1 this year & loosened the fiat chains that enslaved me. I still have some fear around burning through my stack, but it's amazing how little I need to survive when I'm not sacrificing my soul 5 days a week.

I'm loving the feeling of each day & look forward to the day where more join us

I think your note IS relevant to Bitcoiners & Nostriches.
