Why Your First Coin is the Most Memorable
You forget your first dollar. You never forget your first silver ounce.
The Red Pill Moment
Most people live their entire lives without ever touching real money. They touch debt notes (dollars). They touch pixels (credit cards). But they never touch value.
The moment you hold your first Silver Eagle, something clicks. It is heavy. It is cold. Your brain realizes: "This is what money is supposed to be." You can never go back to seeing paper dollars as "real" again.
The Gateway Drug
That first coin is dangerous. It destroys your faith in the Fiat Matrix. Cherish it. Frame it. Never sell it. It is the key that unlocked your mind.
