How discovering Magic Internet Money changed my life
Thread.
1/ In 2020, with just $200 in my bank account, I embarked on a journey to understand how to make money work for me. My curiosity led me to dive into the stock market and learn about value investing. Little did I know where this path would take me.
2/ The 2020 lockdown and Bitcoin's drop to $5000 caught my attention. Greed got the best of me when others were fearful, and I bought some Bitcoin. At that time, I didn't fully grasp its impact on my life. I wasn't a Bitcoin fanatic; I saw it as a hedge against rampant money printing.
3/ It all started to click when I read "Separation of Money and State." It opened my eyes to Austrian economics, the nature of the state, and the profound implications of Bitcoin. My journey down the Bitcoin rabbit hole had begun. It also lead me to some conclusions:
4/
1. Austrian economics isn't just about money; it's about human nature and psychology.
2. Viewing the world through the lens of individual self-interest, rather than partisan politics, made everything clearer.
5/
3. Studying the nature of the state revealed that elections won't bring meaningful change.
4. Governments are filled with either incompetent individuals or competent thieves.
6/ I transitioned from high time preferences to low ones, prioritizing health and fitness. Weightlifting, a proper diet, and even martial arts became my focus.
7/ But there was more to discover – Internet Privacy & Security (P&S). I stumbled upon this topic even before fully diving into Bitcoin, probably on YouTube. It fascinated me, starting from basics (browser trackers) to self-hosted privacy services on servers.
8/ Understanding P&S became crucial. I saw how Bitcoin and P&S intertwined, pieces of a puzzle for human sovereignty and protection from state surveillance.
9/ Online P&S can be complex, and mistakes can be costly. As governments increase surveillance capabilities, protecting your online P&S will soon be a necessity, not an option.
10/ After immersing myself in the Twitter community, I began searching for my purpose. Privacy and Security stood out as my passion, and I've decided to dedicate this account to simplifying P&S concepts for everyone, from tech novices to experts.
11/ This account will be a one-stop resource for all things Privacy & Security, making it accessible to everyone. Follow my journey as I explore this important topic, and join me in taking control of your digital life.
