You are not in Kansas anymore. Once you truly understand Bitcoin, there is no going back to normalcy.

There is a popular way of thinking amongst passionate Bitcoiners. Once you truly begin to understand Bitcoin and its true value, that is the moment you realize that you’ll never be able to go back to how you were living before. The backstage curtain has been pulled, and you’re finally able to see the world for how it truly operates.

The truth is that the game is rigged, and people today are trying to run a marathon with heavy weights attached to their legs. Putting them at a severe disadvantage compared to those who won the life lottery and inherited their wealth.

Many of us believe that not only is Bitcoin the strongest form of money that we have ever seen. But we also believe that it has the ability to reset people’s financial destiny. Giving them the ability to finally get ahead in life. Being able to just work hard, save what they can in Bitcoin, and have their wealth grow. Instead of it being inflated away.

One of the biggest reasons I attribute to my success in Bitcoin or crypto is that when I discovered it, BTC completely took over my life. When I finally understood what it was, I realized there was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity sitting right in front of me. I became obsessed and literally ate and slept Bitcoin for years. Constantly learning and doing as much as I possibly can to accumulate Bitcoin.

But how do you know if you’ve actually fallen down the Bitcoin rabbit hole? Sometimes you can be so absorbed in your own thinking that it can be hard to see the situation from other people’s perspectives.

This is also meant to be a fun exercise. The cryptocurrency market can often be a depressing, stressful place. It’s important to bring some fun back into it as much as possible.

Here are the clear signs that crypto has taken over your life.

1. Your Main Form of Entertainment has become Bitcoin and Crypto content

Once you’ve taken the crypto drug, all other content or forms of entertainment begin to seem like a waste of time. You know that your chance to be early in this life-changing asset class won’t last forever, and you want to learn as much as possible. You will even begin to become picky with the type of content that you want. As you begin to understand how fast this market moves, content that is more than a few days old will begin to feel ancient to you and almost immediately lose your interest. All your free time will be dedicated to listening to crypto podcasts, crypto YouTube videos, articles, and the list goes on.

2. You’d rather save than spend so that you can buy more Bitcoin

When you’ve truly fallen down the rabbit hole of Bitcoin, you soon begin to lose interest in all unnecessary purchases.

All of a sudden, those new iPhones, new clothes, or even trips will feel less enticing. Being able to use that money to buy more Bitcoin will feel much more appealing. You will begin to look at other methods to accumulate more BTC. Methods such as using a Bitcoin rewards credit card, or even having a side-hustle to accumulate more Bitcoin.

3. All of a sudden, you’ve become an expert in macro events.

Now that Bitcoin has taken over your life, macro events happening around the world will be at the forefront of your mind.

The US FED decreasing interest rates, inflation, wars breaking out around the world, tariffs, and world trade will all be topics that you’ve quickly become an expert on.

You will begin to wonder how everyone else around you is completely oblivious to the dire events that are happening all around them.

4. You’ve completely turned around your financial situation in just a few years

An amazing trend that happens for those who’ve become obsessed with Bitcoin is that they’re often able to completely change their financial situation in just a handful of years.

I experienced this exact situation personally. In just a few years, I went from being in extreme debt with almost no hope of ever being able to retire. To just a few years later being in a very comfortable position. Bitcoin truly changed the trajectory of my life.

This is a story that you will hear time after time amongst Bitcoiners.

5. You Annoy Your Friends and Family Talking About Bitcoin

Bitcoiners are often extremely passionate, and this causes them to want to share what they know with everyone they possibly can. We all want to make it to the Bitcoin citadel together.

This often results in Bitcoin always being our main subject when talking to friends and family, and this starts to become annoying for them.

They might even have begun to view us as a little crazy, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

6. People Oblivious to Bitcoin Will Begin to Annoy You

As time goes on, you will begin to become annoyed by people who live normal lives and are completely oblivious to Bitcoin.

How could they not see how dire the US debt problem has become? Why aren’t they concerned about unprecedented money printing and inflation? And why can’t they see that Bitcoin is the answer to all these problems and more?

7. You’re Optimistic for the Future.

Finally, the last sign that you’ve truly become a Bitcoiner is that you are optimistic for the future. We are living in difficult times, where the average American doesn’t even have an extra $1,000 available for an emergency expense. Due to inflation, that financial pain will only continue to worsen. When you are out in public, you can see the stress on people’s faces. It’s intoxicating.

However, Bitcoiners are completely different. As time goes on, Bitcoin becomes stronger and so does our financial situation.

Bitcoiners dream about what the future may bring, and regular people dread it.

How about you? What are some signs that you’ve completely fallen down the Bitcoin rabbit hole?
