I'm 43, French. I used to be a software engineer but I wasn't a good one. In fact I only worked two years as a software engineer, and even then, it was in the financial sector so it wasn't exactly advanced in terms of software development. I resigned in around 2008 in the middle of the financial crisis. I was then planning to live on my savings for a few years and hope for the best. I had become repulsed by the financial system so I was thinking a lot about an alternative monetary system, which led me to learn about bitcoin quite early. In September 2010 I wrote about bitcoin on a French website dedicated to linux :
Connaissez-vous les bitcoins ?

I suspect this article did a lot to raise awareness about bitcoin in the French speaking world. I'm pretty sure I created several multi-millionaires. Unfortunately I did not become very rich myself as I lost confidence in the currency at some point (because of the alt-coins and various other reasons). I still own enough not to worry about finding a job any time soon though, which is important because I'm lazy AF ?.
I came into the manosphere much later than all this, in around 2017 I think, can't quite recall. I came into it mostly because I was getting increasingly annoyed by the feminist angle slowly but surely creeping into my entertainment (I was watching lots of tv show and stuff) and ruining it. One day I somehow stumbled upon the MGTOW acronym and that lead me to read the corresponding wikipedia article. In the "see also" section, there was a mention of Esther Vilar's book "The manipulated man" which intrigued me. I bought the book and that was what made me fall in the rabbit hole (normies would say that's what "radicalized" me). I then followed prominent MGTOW/red pill videos creators : sandman, happy humble hermit, undead chronic, TFM, alpha male lifestyle,...
These days I don't really know what to do with my life anymore, especially with the terrible current geopolitics. It's just hard to see what the world will be like in even a few years. I had a phase when I was into sports, then into chess, then into programming, then most recently into language learning. I don't stick with anything beyond a few months, rarely more than a year. I'm wandering, basically.
