Discovering #Bitcoin sucks you into a truth vortex that there's no coming back from.
All of a sudden, you realize the depth and the breadth of the lies all around you in society.
If something as fundamental as money is built on a tall pyramid of lies, what else is built on lies? Almost everything, it turns out.
This has been one of the most incredible things about Bitcoin for me: how it helped me see through the bullshit and get over my naivety.
