I started my blockchain journey in 2017 and like many others it was for the wrong reason initially. I was mining ethereum on multiple rigs in my basement and dabbling in all kinds of shitcoins looking for the next bitcoin. I finally had the epiphany in 2020 that Bitcoin is the next Bitcoin and it got right so many things; from costly generation of new coins, to difficulty adjustment, to a segregation of duties, to a store of value, no 3rd party intermediaries, resolved double spend, and pretty limitless multi-layer functionality which we are only beginning to think up. I have to say, Nostr and a crowd funded merit based social network goes under the radar as a use case. Happy to be here, and I see many familiar names that I think highly of and have authored literature that's helped me get where I am today. Cheers!
