What was the moment Bitcoin went from “an investment” to “a long-term conviction” for you?

For those of you who’ve been in Bitcoin for a while…
What was the moment Bitcoin stopped being “just another investment” and became a long-term conviction?

Was it a specific event, a book, a conversation, surviving a bear market, learning how the network works, or something else entirely?

Looking back, was there a point where your mindset shifted from trying to make money with Bitcoin to simply wanting to own Bitcoin for the long run?
I’d love to hear what changed your perspective.
