A story someone shared with me that I haven't seen in a while but I believe him. And it goes like this.
Oh and I didn't even know his real name.
I might have shared this story before, if not this #Nostr account an older one.
But this episode brought that era of my life back to front of mind.
Funny thing. He (⛵) said in Jan of 2024 was when he thought #BTC was legitimized and would not be banned by the regulators.
In August of 2020, was when I realized the gov'ment was not going to arrest me if they found out I owned #BTC
August of 2020 was about the time I saw $aylor & Breedlikes on the "What is Money #Podcast ?"
Prior to that, even with Coinbase having gone public and a bunch of folks on YouTube talking about #BTC ....in public. I held what little I had bc I thought the Gov'ment would eventually ban it and make it illegal as soon as they figured out what it was. I held the little the few I had, with the expectation that it would be NGU after the gov banned it.
I was wrong, but I'm OK seeing it go this route too.
But yeah, back then 2013-14'ish (Silkroad shutdown) I was waiting for a ban by Unc Sam to cash out in Jamaica or Haiti someplace and live like a fat cat, actually, maybe just a chubby cat.
