What changed your mind about Bitcoin?

The country economy was in shambles, even side jobs aren't cutting it anymore, the only option I had left was to find a job online, they I got into some Ponzi schemes, a bad way to start the journey but it exposed me to Bitcoin.

This was how I heard about Bitcoin but I never looked into it because I was using Fiat in the Ponzi, but after the Ponzi scheme collapsed I began to be curious about Bitcoin, it went well and I had to learn about Bitcoin mining too.

Mistake I did was getting exposed to alternative coins, I was once of those chasing after the next Bitcoin, I wanted to find the early birds, thinking something else will beat Bitcoin in a matter of few years, and I've been wrong all the time.

The fiat printing press, resulting in continued inflation and devaluation of said currency.  It takes more and more fiat to get less and less goods and services.  With Bitcoin the polar opposite has been proven to be true many times now- deflation and increased value over fiat.

Everyone has a different journey into Bitcoin.

For some, it was the technology. For others, it was inflation, self-custody, or simply watching Bitcoin survive multiple market cycles.
What was the turning point for you?

Was there a specific article, book, event, or personal experience that made you take Bitcoin seriously?

What makes me know and love bitcoin is from my own brother who is successful in the journey and i think if he was succeed i can also do the same, i have been seeing it in different places like paper and online advertisements but i don’t pay too much attention to it but after seeing how people believe in it I was inspired by their work, bitcoin is truly the best investment in the world because with the story of bitcoin shows that we should always believe in what we are doing, people that believe it from the beginning are the people that enjoy it at the end and i also believe that there is more good things to come from bitcoin in the future.

I grew up in a household where only my father worked, and what he earned was more than enough to support all five of us.

Now, people in our generation can barely afford to buy a home. Even paying rent has become difficult, and most young people don’t have any savings because they simply don’t have enough money left to save. All of this has recently changed the way I think about Bitcoin.

What more can I ask for? I don't want to really ask for bitcoin globalization and government full acceptance, because that could mean losing the decentralized factor of bitcoin which is a huge advantage for us.

Unfortunately, this is where it is heading now because they are taking down decentralized options like instant exchanges where we don't have to register. They are the last resort. Once they start their crackdown against them, it will be almost certain that they want to control the flow through centralized platforms.

Money is power, and these governments have controlled us by controlling our money. If we start controlling our own money, then they can't force us into anything. Currently, many governments are so unfair that they are making a lot of money while keeping their middle class and poor class in the same situation. People are not able to earn more than they need for food. They are stuck and can't save enough to break the cycle.

It is not natural but intentional to control them, get their votes, and carry out corruption by taking international loans.

Well, it turned into a political post, but in short, bro, this is what is happening, and eventually they will force us to use centralized platforms only.
