I went minimalist in 2017, about 4 years before I embraced Bitcoin.

For me it was out of a disgust with Consumerism, disgust with marketing, and an unwillingness to have my opinions and actions influenced by those who only wanted my money.

I looked around myself at all the "stuff" I had acquired, and realized how much time I had invested in stuff that I didn't even want...

 

 Exactly. I have everything I need right now and couldn’t be happier. I just needed to pause and pat myself on the back for that.
