Before I bought bitcoin I spent 5 years being black pilled and defeatist about the economy post GFC.
I was stuck in the same nihilistic delusion that many are still in today.
Basically the belief ...
I also had to learn the hard lesson that stonks are just delayed rug pulls, lost 30% of my savings due to a stonk that got delisted from a 'trading platform' here in NL. Never bought shares in a company again after that, bitcoin & physical gold only.
