 Celebrating a near ATH with all my friends who listened to my bitcoin advice for the past 11 years.

Just kidding most all of them sold a bottom or took a double-digit gain and never looked back.  

Can't wait for the comments about how lucky i got soon.

 YES 
 I practically begged people to position themselves for this, back during the depths of the bear market in 2022. No one listened. 
 You’re a legend 🤙🔥 
 This gif lol 
 I'm lucky? Just think how lucky YOU would have been if you'd listened to me...

 A few weeks ago, I saw one of my wife's childhood friend's at a baby shower. 

He thought bitconnect was going to be the next bitcoin. He told me he wished he kept some of the bitcoin he had back then.

That's the worst thing about shitcoin Ponzi schemes.

They rip-off good people and poison the well. He didn't study bitcoin because he wanted fiat and bitconnect promised ot would give him more fiat.

That's why I don't talk about the price much anymore. I tell people I am into using bitcoin, but because I hate the traditional fractional reserve banking system. Bitcoin is the only full reserve "banking" system. That's why I use it.

I'm more of an activist than an "investor."


This often makes people uncomfortable though. I'm not sure why.
