It's only human to think Bitcoin is a scam at first

I was told about Bitcoin in 2012. There was nothing attractive about it to me and I didn't really look up to the person who told me, financially, at all. The guy was kind of a loser, in my eyes.

I thought it was fake internet ponzi money all the way through 2016 and finally stumbled upon a few PhD caliber podcasts that I decided to let play though on a long drive. I did not know much about what they were talking about and it was somewhat over my head at times. However, one thing I am very good at is bullshit detection and seeing intelligence in other people. The people speaking were very bright individuals, and it kind of ate me up inside that I knew nothing about bitcoin and that I also knew was not on the intellectual level these people were, finacially. How can that be that these individuals could have actually given Bitcoin, "fake internet money", a chance?

A spark was lit and the itch started to set in. I read articles here and there to try and gain understanding over the next year and then I finally read The Bitcoin Standard.

All the things I used to think about Bitcoin started to melt away via verifiable information and were replaced with cold hard fact that I not only understood, but could explain to other people . I learned that I was literally blinded by my own presumptions.

Learning about Bitcoin has taught me more about monetary history and principles than anything else. I own rental properties and am a supply chain profession who specialized in natural resource compliance. I thought I was pretty savvy financially, but it turns out I was traditionally finance savvy and fed into the bullshit of "we need inflation for this to work" etc.

Now I see people differently who are adamantly against it. These people have either A. Not put the time and effort in or B. May not be able to free themselves from years of traditional finance and macro brainwashing.

I guess I'm saying; Stay humble out there. Stack sats.
