He found Bitcoin while sitting in a digger. 🚜
On this week's Key to Sovereignty, Michael O'Keefe shares how 10 hours of The Bitcoin Standard in the backcountry changed his life, how a birthday gold pan became a mining claim, and why it was Bitcoin (not gold) that taught him about money. ⛏️🟠
He also talks about becoming a dad at 17, getting his do-over with his little ones, homeschooling without desks, and stepping into the ring because his son said "if you do, I will." 🥊
His message: you don't need to be an expert. Your journey is enough.
