It feels like I'm living a double life. I started studying economics at university about 6 months ago. Around the same time, I stumbled upon @Jeff Booth's book. I've gone really deep into the idea that deflation is actually the key to an abundant future and why we need #Bitcoin for that.

But most of the courses at university fundamentally contradict my own thoughts on what things should look like. I really don't know much, but I just know that I'm spending half my time in the old system—studying economics at university (and I got a summer job in finance)—while at the same time using the other half studying this potential new system that's completely the opposite.

I feel like moving 100% of my time toward the new system and the future I want to see, but that feels scary. I'm young, I have no real skills or experience, and I have no idea how to start. The traditional path just seems way easier to walk, but the double life might catch up lol.

Anyway, I doubt anyone will read this. If you do, any advice?
