It’s s true. When Bitcoin finally clicked for me, something shifted. My outlook on myself and the world changed - it became brighter, more open-minded. Growing up in Eastern Europe, I always felt that equal opportunity was a myth, at least for someone like me. I saw the West - especially Americans - not just as competitors but almost as adversaries, undeserving of their success. In my mind, they were defined solely by what they had become after the Apollo missions - privileged, lazy, lucky. But Bitcoin forced me to look beyond surface appearances. It pushed me down a rabbit hole of history and philosophy, leading me to the American Founding Fathers. I became fascinated by early American history, and for the first time, I truly understood the significance of your Constitution - a monumental achievement and pivotal point in human history. That was when capitalism finally clicked for me. I no longer see Americans as lazy or dumb, as I once did. I’ve learned to distinguish between the people and their government. It’s like I was given a new set of eyes, and suddenly, the world made a lot more sense. 😅
