From Politics to Bitcoin: My Journey to Fix a Broken World

I’ve always been someone who wanted to make a difference. Growing up, I saw a world full of problems—division, inequality, systems that seemed to work for the few, not the many. I thought I could help fix it, and for me, that meant diving headfirst into politics. What started as a spark of idealism led me to some pretty big roles: I served as the 11th Congressional District Republican Outreach committee chair and later as the executive director of the Oakland County Republican Party. For two years, I threw everything I had into building bridges, bringing people together, and creating a sense of community around shared values. It felt meaningful—until it didn’t.

Politics, I learned, is a grind. After my time with the county party, I moved on to managing statewide Republican candidate campaigns. That’s when the cracks started to show. The constant negativity, the mudslinging, the way it pitted people against each other—it wore me down. By the time Trump won in 2024, I was exhausted. Not just physically, but spiritually. I’d poured my heart into a system I thought could change things, only to realize it was often more about power than progress. I knew I had to find another way.

That’s when I started questioning everything. What if the solutions we need aren’t in campaign rallies or ballot boxes? What if the real way to fix the world is by giving power back to people—not politicians, not corporations, but everyday communities? That’s when I stumbled across Bitcoin, and it felt like a lightbulb went off.

Why Bitcoin? For me, it’s not just about cryptocurrency or making a quick buck. It’s about what Bitcoin represents: freedom. In a world where so many feel like they have no control—over their money, their future, their communities—Bitcoin is a rebellion against that. It’s a system that no single government or bank can control. It’s money that belongs to the people who use it.

Imagine communities deciding for themselves how to invest, save, or support each other without some far-off institution calling the shots. That’s the kind of empowerment I used to chase in politics, but I found it in Bitcoin instead.

Bitcoin also feels like a hedge against a shaky economy. With inflation eating away at our

savings, Bitcoin’s fixed supply offers stability—a way to protect what we’ve worked for. But more than that, it’s a tool to tackle bigger issues: poverty, lack of access to resources, the way centralized systems keep so many people down. By embracing decentralized finance, we can build something that actually works for everyone.

Looking back, my journey from the chaos of political campaigns to the promise of Bitcoin feels like coming full circle. I got into politics because I believed in community, unity, and giving people a voice. Bitcoin takes those same values and puts them into action in a way politics never could. It’s not perfect, and it’s not a cure-all, but it’s a step toward a world where we take responsibility for our own futures and lift each other up along the way.

The world’s still broken in a lot of ways, but I’m done believing the old systems will save us.

Instead, I’m betting on ideas like Bitcoin—ideas that trust people, not power.

That’s the story I want to be part of now, and I hope you’ll join me in thinking about what a community-driven future could look like.
