To be frank the thing that drove me to all this was panic and fear for my specific situation in COVID, which they would not have had. I am a single income household on a modest salary considering I have a family of 7. Canada was making new rules all the time and if I lost my job, I would have only got 1 benefit payout to support 7 people, which would have been completely unsustainable. That pushed me over.
That said I would like to think that I would have listened if someone had truly tried to tell me about Bitcoin, but it's hard to know if I would have. Once I dug it took 2-3 years to know about markets and Bitcoin which was part of the process of necessarily understanding "money"
For maximum gains, I would still trade a bit at the most obvious times. The thing that then made me go 100% all in was conviction and morality/ethics, which required more of a departure from greed more so than courage.
Courage is somewhat of an abstract concept, but if courage has a lot more to to with stern alignment of your actions based on priorities and conviction, in that sense, i suppose I do I have courage.
