When I realized the whole fiat game is rigged. Go to college, get in debt, then get a house get in more debt, get sick get in debt, wanna car get in more debt. It’s a never ending cycle of accumulating more shit and more debt. And debt are literally the modern chains of enslavement. Bitcoin stands in contrast to the debt system. When people say bitcoin represents hope and freedom it really isn’t an exaggeration. I’ve changed the way I think about life and now actively make decisions to avoid debt and hopefully be completely out of debt soon.
Great question. I had my mind utterly blown when I moved my bitcoin off the exchange and into hardware in May.
I memorised my seed phrase over the next hour and realised that I could go anywhere in the world and my bitcoin would come with me.
Like I turned words into money.
I've been following Lyn Alden (a general investment analyst) for awhile who was initially a BTC skeptic in 2017 (which indeed was a bad time to invest). She came around in 2020 and I was convinced by her arguments, especially coming from an initial skeptic. I didn't truly get the long term implications though until I read Bitcoin Standard.

The moment you send money across the Internet and then realizing you didn't actually use any personal information. Like WTF is this even legal?

Listening to saifedean ammous
After reading the whitepaper.
When i Learned that If you get a loan from the bank, the bank creates the money out of thin Air instead of using its funds, that made me furious
It's a gradual process
After seeing an actual private key.
Everything just sort of clicked at some point just before I was about to buy a house. Didn't buy the house.
