I never was a good reader and was just was not wired that way. I was a boy who like to work with his hands. College and the high paying jobs subsequent weren't an option for me.
I started with the highest paying job I could find as a butcher in a giant beef killing & packing plant. It was a pure, bloody, stinky, violent hell. My only way out was to be the best "money saver" ever.
As fast as I saved and as hard as I worked the things I saved for just moved further away in price. I worked harder with a second job, but didn't realize how the economic cancer of inflation was working against me. One day, I heard Ron Paul be ridiculed on television, about his ideas on inflation. He barely managed to talk before they cut him off, but he rang a profound bell of economic truth in me.
I went on a search for an "inflation hedge of justice" ever since Mr. Paul first ran for Congress in Texas. Bitcoin ended that search.
