Here’s how it happened for me: https://etscrivner.github.io/cryptocurrent/After living in Communist Cuba, I started looking for anti-dictator money.To test it, I sent Bitcoin to a few friends… without revealing my identity.Then I tried proactively trading it – in 2017, bought @ $2.4k & sold @ $15k.I joined crypto-twitter anonymously: best classroom I’ve ever learned in.Finally I read the magnum opus Crypto-Current: Bitcoin and Philosophy.Then Communist China banned proof-of-work hashrate-heavy mining …In sum – Communist Cuba, Coinbase, trading, twitter, philosophy & Communist China. Now the free world has free reign to embrace freedom-money with freedom-tech. It only remains to be seen who will. – Sovereign ⚔️ 🔑
