 Bitcoin really has revealed itself as the true freedom money for me. It makes me free from the things i thought I must want, free from conventional wisdom and free from the expectations of others. It has given me the financial freedom to be honest to myself about what I want. And freedom was all i wanted all along. Now I am ready to support the network that gave me that freedom.

We need to really be careful not to let our biases get the better of us and listen. Think scientifically and technically from first principles and admit if you don’t understand something.
