Initially didn't care about Bitcoin, thought it would just get banned by the government.

Then the price went volatile and I thought more about it. I did the MIT Blockchain course, and it just seemed so clever.

Then I learned more about monetary policy and how central banks just create money at will. Combining all this with my economics background, it makes sense that Bitcoin could replace gold and have a real function in the world.

Most people on HN understand the technology, but they don't understand money. Gold is a $12tr market. The US bond market is ~$46tr. Capital needs a way to preserve its own value, but the dynamics of money creation throw that into whack over time.
