How did you become a BTC maxi?

The term “BTC maximalists” seems to be used as a derogatory term by people who dismiss BTC as an archaic technology. But of course, I’m sure people here wear this label as a badge of honor since so many interesting things are happening with BTC. Taro, Nostr, Cashnu - the possibilities are limitless. Even MicroStrategy aims to launch BTC Lightning Solutions next year.

Did you start out your journey by solely investing in Bitcoin, appealed to its decentralised nature and limited supply? Perhaps you were proactive enough to figure out how to run your own node? Or do you belong to those who invested in altcoins, got rekt and gradually came to the realisation that being a true OG was the path to enlightenment and financial freedom?
