I didn't realize that the Doller was slave money until I tried to buy land in the United States.
I transferred a chunk of money into my credit union, and then a couple days later I got a call from them asking essentially where the money came from. Caught off guard and thinking it was about another transaction I answered their question, but then I realized they weren't asking about where I was sending money, but where I was getting money from.
They told me it was about how "they are cracking down on people using their checking for business," which is hilarious to me because money is about business for the most part.
And at some point they say they are essentially investigating for my protection. I told them, I don't need their protection and asked if they had any more questions. Then we ended the conversation.
I knew Bitcoin was freedom money, but I didn't realize how free I really am using Bitcoin relative to how the fiat system wants to know the purpose of the money I'm using.
When I initiate a Bitcoin transaction, if it's for 1000 sats or 8,000,000 sats, no one asks me anything and that's the way I like it because I want to be free to use my money however the F I want to.

Try pulling $30,000 out in cash at a bank. They interrogate you like you’re organized crime. Half of it is them, half of it is the government regulators pushing on them.
It motivates me to abandon the fiat system as much as possible.
