I started down the sound money trail after Peter Schiff woke me up to the unsustainable nature of the central banking and fiat money model. That started in January 2010 and by January 2012, I took a commission only private banker role at his Euro Pacific Bank, this article covers more of the details: http://dorion-mode.com/simple-steps-part-1Euro Pacific tried to be a 100% reserve bank, but was completely dependent on counterparties and was more of a bezzle than a bank, here's more context: http://dorion-mode.com/how-many-bezzles-in-a-bezzle/When Cyprus collapsed in 2013, gold sold off while Bitcoin rallied from $13 to $250 in about 4 months. I figured I ought to pay more attention to the BTC. This conversation helped that process: http://dorion-mode.com/so-where-does-peter-schiff-get-it-twisted-with-regard-to-money-generally-and-bitcoin-in-particular/By January 2014, I took a business development role with Coinapult, a Panama based Bitcoin liquidity provider and software development company. Coinapult didn't manage to survive the post Mt. Gox bear market, but working there showed me the power of software and computer literacy (http://dorion-mode.com/open-you-blind-eyes-with-cli-literacy/) and the value of acting as a communication bridge between "engineers" and "business" people.By 2015, the "blocksize wars" were in full swing and it became evident to me that Mircea Popescu made the most sane arguments, here's an entry point: http://dorion-mode.com/the-bitcoin-address-as-a-sign-of-intelligence/. I spent several years reading the logs (http://trilema.com/category/logs/) and meanwhile formed what is now JWRD Computing in 2016 with Jacob Welsh.
