This is truth. Many early adopters were trolled, trashed and dumped on, and that wasn't easy to take. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've heard "bitcoin is only for stupid cucks gambling".  

The Same fucking situation with Nostr in like 2020-21, "you dumb bitch, that nostr thing is going nowhere, its unusable and useless" 

if you can handle people continuously shitting on you for years, its not about luck anymore. 

Early adopters always get the brunt. Conviction is not about "luck". Hanging on is difficult and you have to be okay with social rejection 1000x.
