And yet I went from Coinbase to mining and self-custody.

I went from Facebook, Instagram, and X exclusively to Nostr.

What you're saying sounds good on paper but simply isn't how most people work.

I started in the middle of the story like most people. I wasn't there in the very beginning, and I won't be there in the end (let's assume its a utopia). I am living in my own time instead of fairytale land.

If I never had Coinbase, I may not be where I am now. That's a harsh reality for me given how much I hate them now. And I wasn't even that normie of a normie.
