 Those “bitcoiners” obsessing over the #Bitcoin price and making price predictions on X are giving an incredibly bad name to Bitcoin and look like idiots. 

Take your crypto/trading projecting elsewhere. This is freedom money and a revolution. But at least you’re showing your true colors! 
 the deeper we go into the theft via currency debasement and capital gains tax, the more we see it’s a case of freedom vs slavery.

Bitcoin is the only solution, as far as I can see.

A side effect is that Bitcoin rises vs slavery money. Influencers are focusing on this side effect, people feel greed and fomo. This is also the gamification aspect.

I will ride Bitcoin to zero if I have to, there is no other option when it comes to freedom. 
 Yes.  
 Totally ridiculous. NGU technology is at the centre of the equation, not at the periphery; without it Bitcoin is nothing in the real world.

 It wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for exploiting people's greed

$1M/BTC next week!  

People like this should suffer permanent reputational damage but never do. They just keep making ridiculous price projections based on irrational analysis. 
 If the only thing you can buy with Bitcoin is money then this matters a lot. 
 Are they making Bitcoin look bad, or are they making Nostr look good? 🤔 
 It's ironic because they know the system is flawed while simultaneously thinking it will move/act like a free market. 
 Some would say it’s a tool to protect against debasement and loss of purchasing power. For that use case NGU is most important. Bitcoin means different things to different people. No one person’s agenda is objectively the correct one. If bitcoin is truly a commodity money then it has no agenda. It just is. 
 NGU is a feature that pulls in new bitcoiners, just part of the process.
