Over the past year, I’ve interviewed 100+ people about Bitcoin.
What I’ve learned goes far beyond price action. Bitcoin is reshaping how people think about money, freedom, and even life itself.
Here are the 7 biggest insights from these conversations 🧵👇
1/ Bitcoin changes YOU first
People who go deep into Bitcoin experience a shift in mindset. They move from short-term thinking to long-term planning. They stop chasing consumerism and start focusing on self-sufficiency.
2/ Bitcoin is a “mind virus”
Once you understand Bitcoin’s principles—absolute scarcity, decentralization, self-sovereignty—you can’t unsee it. It rewires how you view the financial system.
Many guests described going from skeptical to obsessed almost overnight.
3/ Bitcoin exposes the flaws in the fiat money system
Governments print money endlessly, diluting your savings. Bitcoin flips this: its supply is capped at 21M coins.
Fiat money is based on trust. Bitcoin is based on math. Which do you think is more reliable?
4/ Bitcoin changes how you consume
Before Bitcoin, many guests admitted they bought things impulsively. After Bitcoin, they stopped wasting money on junk and started prioritizing saving.
Bitcoiners often talk about “stacking sats” instead of buying things they don’t need.
5/ Bitcoin isn’t just money—it’s a worldview
Many people described Bitcoin as more than a financial tool. It’s a movement toward decentralization, fairness, and self-sovereignty:
"Being in Bitcoin feels like being part of a parallel world, one that actually makes sense."
6/ Bitcoin gives you true ownership
Most people think the money in their bank is theirs. It’s not. Banks can freeze accounts, limit withdrawals, or fail entirely. Bitcoin lets you hold your own wealth, outside the system. It gives you a way out of third party control.
7/ Learning Bitcoin requires an ego death
Bitcoin forces you to question everything you thought you knew about money. Many guests said it was humbling to realize how little they understood.
"It's a financial awakening that forces deep self-reflection."
To conclude:
Bitcoin is not just superior money.
✅It’s a mindset shift.
✅It’s a challenge to the status quo.
✅It’s a gateway to long-term thinking.
If you’re still on the fence about Bitcoin, ask yourself:
What if everything I was taught about money is wrong?
