Where were you when you first heard about bitcoin?

And how long was it till you made your first purchase? I want to hear your story.

Bitcoin has my attention

When I’m not listening, my 4-year-old will usually go:
“Dad… dad… dad… dad…”
on repeat until I respond.

Today, he switched it up:
“Dad… dad… Bitcoin.”

He got my attention immediately.
Smart kid.

bitcoin drops

I keep buying, but Bitcoin keeps dropping too. We're in a competition on who can lose more.

What made you believe in Bitcoin in the first place?

Im interested in what got others into Bitcoin. Was it the technology? The idea of financial freedom? Or maybe a moment that made everything suddenly make sense?

"Advice" I Didn't Ask For - My Greatest Hits

Annoying things people have said to me over the years...

"You still have your bitcoin?"

"I'd sell now while you still can."

"Should've dumped it at 60k."

"Just buy real estate."

"Invest in oil rigs."

"My company won't let me invest in crypto."

"You've got a family now, be smart."

"I read it's over. Even Elon bailed."

"A bunch of countries are banning it."

"It has no value."

"Let me know when it hits zero."

"The volatility would make me so nervous."

"You'll need to explain that bitcoin thing to me one day." (I already have. Multiple times.)

The more I learn how banks actually create money, the more Bitcoin makes sense

I’ve been looking into how mortgages and bank lending really work (was trying to understand where my interest payments actually go).

When you get a mortgage, the bank doesn’t lend you money it already has. It just creates it. Literally types it into existence. It’s new money that didn’t exist until you took out the loan.

Then you spend 25–30 years repaying it with interest often tens or hundreds of thousands extra, all for money the bank didn’t even have before.

That interest is their profit.
They created the money.
You repay it in full.
With interest.
And if you can’t pay? They take your house.

It feels insane that this is how the system actually works and it’s just accepted as normal.

Bitcoin is the exact opposite:
• No one can just create it at will
• It has a hard cap (21 million)
• You actually own it
• It runs on rules, not privilege

There’s no central institution that gets to “print” Bitcoin and collect interest on it for decades. And no one can inflate it to bail themselves out.

I see it as the only way out of a debt-based system that feels incredibly rigged.

I’m still learning. Just wild to realise how deep the rabbit hole goes when you actually start asking where money comes from.
