What fascinates you most about Bitcoin? Bitcoin is an unstoppable truth machine protected by incentives that are rooted in human nature. It changes every aspect of your behavior once you fully understand its implications.

My touchpoints with Bitcoin so far: I first heard about Bitcoin in 2012, but thought it was a Ponzi scheme. It took me 4 years to revisit it and realize its implications. Today, I've spent thousands of hours studying Bitcoin and its potential.
