Introducing The Bitcoin Optimist
fresh beginnings and a bright future
Welcome, dear Bitcoin friend.
For many years Bitcoin has been my most passionate interest. Not a day has passed where I didn’t think, talk or read about it.
Let’s go back a few years. It was 2017, and I was studying computer science at the university. As you may remember, there was massive hype about cryptocurrency back then. Naïveté, euphoria, scams, and greed permeated it all. A lot of people got lost in it. I wasn’t better.
As fast as it came, it died out, and everyone quickly moved on with their lives – some absurdly wealthy, and some had seen their life savings go up in smoke.
A similar frenzy came and went in 2021.
Fast forward to now, and I’m still here. Childishly curious and deeply convinced that Bitcoin will forever change the world, just like the internet did (and still is). The technology and ecosystem have matured. Many of the scams have been flushed out and people are wiser. More and more people understand that is all about Bitcoin, not crypto. Now is a great time to get involved with a long-term vision.
Bitcoin is to money what truth is to speech. It’s an incorruptible tool for communicating value. It’s my deep conviction that broader adoption of the technology would result in unfathomable improvements across many parts of the human experience.
I don’t have a super clear vision yet of how this publication will pan out and what I will zoom in on specifically. All I know is that it’s going to be all about Bitcoin.
We’ll see. For now, let’s enjoy the uncertainty and infinite possibilities. The future is bright ⭐️
Talk to ya soon.
