We need a terminology to describe bitcoin enlightenment. All of the biggest proponents of bitcoin all have gone through this phase where their entirety was consumed with the pursuit of knowledge of bitcoin. From what ive seen everyone that has gone through this enlightenment goes through it in phases.

First: they hear about bitcoin and just brush it off

Second: they hear about bitcoin again and then they read the satoshi paper, this is when they catch the bitcoin bug

Third phase: depending on the person to various degrees their lives get consumed with the pursuit of knowledge for bitcoin

Fourth phase: After they realize bitcoin is now their higher calling, it redefines their existence. They try to integrate bitcoin in their lives, eventually they make it a full time pursuit. In this phase Andreas goes from a little known security expert to the world renowned Andreas the bitcoin ambassador. He goes from virtually unknown to someone with a legacy. This is proof bitcoin will build legacies and disrupt the world, because we are already seeing the power it has to change the lives of the early adopters.

Here's an example of Andreas talking about how he was bitten by the bug:

In the beginning of this video he talks about how he (1) brushed off bitcoin when he first hear about it. After he read the (2) satoshi paper he was (3) consumed 18 hours a day for 4.5 months just reading about everything he could with bitcoin. During this time he lost 25 pounds and didnt eat or sleep all that much. Eventually he is able to (4) integrate bitcoin into his life and makes it a full time job.

In several videos, Vitalik briefly describes a similar process he went through.

Actually, this enlightenment process sounds like the death and rebirth experience that men in shamanistic cultures go through in a coming of age ritual.
