For me, the biggest realization of 2024 was that I had been sleeping on bitcoin for all the wrong reasons. I'd believed the FUD which had stopped me from looking too deeply and the behavior of shitcoiners made it worse. It wasn't until I worked on a project with a old skool hodlr and fellow activist that I learned that bitcoin was more than just another cryptocurrency, that it was a whole philosophy and one that actually vibed very much with my own. Satoshi wrote a manifesto in code and built the most powerful freedom movement the world has ever seen. It's not just that bitcoin was the first, but that it was designed to liberate us from the tyranny of the state and the banking cartels that makes it different from all the rest. The frauds, the rent seekers and the naysayers will come and go, but Bitcoin is here to stay.
