I started down the Bitcoin rabbit hole a couple of years ago because I knew that a fixed supply monetary asset would be a great hedge for inflation. At the time, I knew that the world was corrupt, and I knew damn well that money was at the root of it. I knew the wars in the Middle East were bullshit. I knew that the world wasn't fair. But before I explored the rabbit hole, I had no idea how bad things were.

I'm a public servant. I work for the state. I stayed out of politics, and built a job/career where I felt like I was one of the good guys, doing work that fulfilled me. I was helping the little guy... at least that's what I told myself. Now, the longer I spend in Bitcoin, the more I realize that in my fiat life I'm actually a part of the problem.

I know that Bitcoin is going to completely upend the world. And I know that the current version of "the state" is on its final days. I've learned to accept that there's going to be pain. People are going to get hurt, and there's nothing I can do to prevent that. But I'm struggling to figure out where I belong in "this". I just want to leave the world in a better place than I found it.

Is anyone else out there in a similar spot? A part of me want to resign, but I'm not sure if that's my path.
