 At a personal level Bitcoin clicked for me in early 2021 when I realized

My generation has been screwed, I can’t bank on student loan forgiveness, adequate wages, or social security, I need something else.

That is Bitcoin. A lot of millennials jumped on it, and many more will in the coming years when they wake up to the reality that this is their best bet. 
 It was about the same time for me. I’d been researching it for a while but I hadn’t taken the plunge. I wanted to go all in but we were trying to buy a new house and mortgage lenders were looking for any excuse not to give you one. Had to settle for small investments I hoped would go under the radar. 
 Yep everyone from Gen X on got screwed-thank God for Bitcoin💯 
 Yep! Gen X was the first to feel the brunt of the Nixon Shock, and each generation has worked for less-and-less since then. How "progressive." No worries, Biden promised to be "the most 'progressive' POTUS in history," and we're feeling that WW3 reset any day now... 
 I was red pilled after the GFC in 2008.

It took me a over a decade to find the solution that is built on Bitcoin.

I spent a decade being pretty nihalistic.

Bitcoin brought hope & helped lift me from a deep pessimism that nothing could be done to overcome the oppression. 
 Could you explain how being red pilled correlates with being purple pilled? 

Does it matter? #asknostr  
 I think it's probably about contrast. 

Going so deeply into the darkness made any light feel brighter.

My journey of pill swallowing was Red -> Black -> Orange -> White. I think I see the purple pill as another version of the orange pill. Another way to return to sovereignty & freedom via responsibility.

Contrast can be painful & useful. 
 You’re good 😊 I’ve always danced in all spectrums since childhood. No pain in any color now 😂🫂 
 TY for sharing.💜

code alone isn’t going to change the world and hope those yet to be white pill get there sooner than later🙏🏾

 Indeed. Hence why I work locally 🫂🫡🗣️🔥💯 
 The #USA was colonized & has always benefited the wealthy. Many of us have worked lifelong to create a better society & promise to continue to. Hugs 🫂
