I spent too much time reading shit I hate, just to make a point that I'm not in an echo chamber. I read Marx's Das Kapital & the Communist Manifesto. White Fragility by Robin Diangelo & How To Be An Anti Racist by Ibram X Kendi. I'm done with that bullshit now. When I argue with friends, they don't care if I read their literature. It's not worth losing braincells over anymore. Time is short, I'm sticking to my echo chamber now.

That’s good practice too. I remember years ago I was watching some dudes debate a Bitcoiner as to why 🌽 is a scam. Started the video fully expecting bro to get smoked, but the anti-corn crew didn’t make a single point. This led me to jump down the rabbit hole and the rest is history.

This year, I spent a lot of time searching for anti Bitcoin content. All it did is increase my bullishness, realizing people have no idea what they're talking about. My dad was the first to mention Bitcoin to me. He's a get rich quick type of guy, so I automatically thought it was bullshit. I started researching it, to explain my dad how Bitcoin is a complete scam. Next thing you know, I realised it's the best money the world has ever seen, and fell down the rabbit hole. My dad went the shitcoin route, unfortunately...
