For me it was the plandemic. Mike Maloney -> Austrian School -> PM -> Lurk 4chan -> Bitcoin is da fuchar! -> Lemme mine BTC -> Not profitable -> Buy on Cohenbase -> Wish there was a private BTC -> Realizing I had blocked XMR general on /biz/ -> What is this? UwU -> Monerochad infopoast about atomic swap -> Holy Shit -> Sell LINK to buy XMR -> Sell ETH to buy XMR -> Swap 50 Euroinos to buy XMR -> Holy Shitterinos on Dread forum -> Dump 1 month salary into XMR -> …

I was interested in BTC and used it from 2014 until the fees went stupid in 2017 and abandones it. Lastyear i wanted another crack at crypto because i was still interested and found out Monero has low fees, faster confirmations, and is actually private.
