After diving down the Bitcoin rabbit hole and re-emerging with a new paradigm it took me a while to be able to step back into my old paradigm and see things through my old eyes and through the eyes of my pre-Bitcoin friends and family who thought of Bitcoin as an investment similar to company shares.

When I did, I laughed out loud at how ridiculous I must look through their paradigm. Imagine if you told everyone you were going to travel locally, interstate or internationally to meet up with a bunch of strangers who, almost instantly, become some of your favourite people on the planet, to discuss BHP shares for hours/days on end and have the best time EVER doing it.

Once I had that moment of understanding it gave me the empathy and patience to explain to pre-Bitcoiners that Bitcoin is not an investment. Bitcoin is a base layer shift in the protocol of inter-human communication.

What is Bitcoin communicating? Value.
