It took me until Bitcoin and the Rabbit hole for me to really see the cage.
I always use a wallpapered room as the analogy of my cage. Since I was 15, I'd noticed the wallpaper had cracks and seams that didn't fit right, but I never wanted to look closely at what I was seeing. I trusted in my world view and believed there must be something wrong with me not the wallpaper or the room I was in.
Then I found Bitcoin and it was as though the wallpaper had now peeled off in parts, just enough to let some light through. It made me curious about what that light was and so I ripped the wallpaper off the wall and discovered the cage that it had been hiding and the truth on the other side. Now I can't unsee it. My own personal Matrix moment
