Reminds me of how I finally "picked a side" in 2018 before the hash war. Basically I binge watched/listened every video I could find on Youtube where Dr. Wright talked about his vision for Bitcoin, multiple times even, as well as quite a few interviews from the other side. A few months of intense studying later, it was pretty obvious which "version" would really be worth my time.
In fact, for someone with no background in tech, it didn't click until at least 7 weeks later. But everything was crystal clear after that sort of a threshold.
There was this one particular chilly evening that fall when I was walking home, listening to Dr. Wright talking about how lead would turn back to gold once the stolen goods were returned to the owner. I stood at the traffic lights, forgetting to cross the road and thinking... this is it.
