    What is all this bullshit about digital gold? Bitcoin is so much more.
    I’ve been screwed over by banks for decades. High fees, hidden fees, every single penny seized out of my account, chargeback fees, 7 business day hold, banking hours, identity theft, etc. Becoming my own bank with Bitcoin instantly fixed everything.
