My bitcoin journey began indirectly by wanting to own a bluewater sailboat. I remember sitting down and calculating how many working years I'd need in order to save up that money, basically it was impossible. But that didn't stop me, so I looked into value investing (too poor for real estate), everyone was doing it to increase their long term purchasing power but learning about it and researching dozens of companies felt like another job, because it was!

One day, a historian channel on YouTube recommended one should read Economics in One Lesson, by Henry Hazlitt; it shook my world view. I then went down the rabbit hole of Austrian economics, anarchy, carnivore diet and ultimately, bitcoin. 

So my journey began with wanting something superficial, but it ignited the spark and motivation in me to find ways to earn and learn about money. But during that time and now, I've started a family, lowered my time preference and started a business; all I can say now is that nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev and nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs l are totally on point, the sailboat would be nice, but it no longer drives me, my life is great and only getting better and I think it's because bitcoin let's you wake up and smell the cappuccino. Things will get better, get out of the rat race and stack sats, the rest will come naturally.
