In January 2018, Mr. Money Mustache — one of the godfathers of the FIRE movement — published a piece called "Why Bitcoin is Stupid." Bitcoin was trading around $14,000 at the time.
I was late too...
I retired this year after 10 years of frugality and heavy saving to reach my goals. I owe a lot of that progress to Mr MoneyMustache. But his views on bitcoin were biased and shortsighted. I did far too much defending of bitcoin on his website's forums over the years to an entire following of people who are all too privileged to understand the benefits bitcoin has to the world. Bitcoin aligns perfectly to the FIRE movement, but far too many just don't see it...yet.
