 5 years ago I found bitcoin, I was in the military feeling stuck, depressed and hopeless. 

I started reading and listening to everything bitcoin related. 

I bit the bullet and sold everything in my 401K, ended up paying $30K in taxes and everyone called me crazy and reckless. 

I took all the money and was able to get multiple coins. I still dca to this day.

I’ve gotten out the military, I’m happy now. People no longer think I’m crazy.  Maybe some still do.

I’m quitting my job today because I don’t enjoy it. 

Bitcoin made all this possible.
It gave me freedom.
It gave me courage to pursue what I want and not be a slave to money.

Shoutout to @preston @ODELL @HODL

 Class of 2019 checking in. Was still pretty early back then, not a lot of data points. 

I’ve found the people who can accept new information and trust their ability to learn are the ones that succeed. Best of luck whatever path you take going forward 🫡 
 Appreciate you! 🚀 
 Back at ya brethren 
 Congratulations on your freedom!!! I’m so proud of you for stepping away and doing what’s best for you!! It’s not easy going against the grain especially when your family and friends aren’t supportive.

 Awesome story! What you will do now when you have a freedom? :-)

 Fortune favours the brave. Well done. And your were prescient. Not much is said of 2019, all the focus about obvious writing on the wall for Why Bitcoin, took off 2020 covid. But 2019 was the year the wheels were well and truly working loose with the economy.  
 If everyone around you doesn't think you're crazy and reckless, you're not stacking hard enough.
