My Bitcoin journey began in late 2021 after coming across a few intelligent Twitter accounts. I had been interested a few years earlier but never bought any and never understood the technology. When I came across some important tweets from Mike Alfred, Dennis Porter, Peter McCormack and Saifedean which spelled out why everybody should own Bitcoin I began to dig deeper. I came across additional educational literature regarding how Bitcoin works and what problems it solves. I began purchasing some Bitcoin from Coinbase and Cash App. The more I read, the more interested I became and the more my focus switched from investment opportunities to philosophical and freedom reasons. I began to learn about self-custody and purchased my first cold-storage wallet by the end of 2022. I typically bought some Bitcoin with every paycheck and even spent a decent share of my dollar savings to purchase Bitcoin. This year, I have continued to buy but at a little slower pace as I decided everything I bought in Bitcoin was never going to be touched (at least for the immediate future). I learned more about DCA and have slowly increased my stack.

My biggest regrets in Bitcoin are: 1. Not investing sooner. 2. Not understanding UTXO management at the beginning. 3. Not committing to obtaining Bitcoin in a non-KYC fashion. 

I just purchased a Coldcard MK4 and I'm looking forward to moving my current funds from a less secure hardware wallet. Going forward, I will be buying additional wallets to split my Bitcoin between as well as using Conjoin and consolidating my small UTXOs.
