I grew up in an environment and at a time where, looking back on it, I’m shocked I didn’t pay attention to it sooner. I was always on my computer, heavily involved in tech any way I could be, my buddies and I in high school attended DEFCON. But somehow Bitcoin never clicked for me.
Then I started playing around with it in 2019. Bought some, but didn’t think much of it.
Then in early 2020, through work I happened to have a conversation with a general partner at a fintech-centered VC fund. Say what you will about VCs, web3, etc., but this lady has a pretty good understanding of Bitcoin (her fund started buying in small amounts years ago). I basically asked her “so what’s this Bitcoin think about” and she took the time to explain it to me. I’ll be forever grateful.
