 I give kudos to @HODL for using his influence to push relentless bullishness thru the years to help get us over the line. It was basically him and I in the trenches during the 2019 bottom that were telling the ops to settle down and everything was going to be okay. Hindsight is 20/20 but this could have gone squirly. Now it has never been less risky and more obvious. The fact that ops still don’t have conviction says it all. Cant save everyone. I sleep well at night knowing I did my best to try

 What was the price when @HODL came up with 6.15? Today that’s nearly $400k

 It was about $36,000 to attain 6.15 Btc when I started that meme. The price of a car. Everyone else was telling people to get one bitcoin and I was like fuck that. Have some fucking balls and aim a little higher. It was always an aspirational goal and not easy to attain, but still within reach for people who wanted it bad enough. Basically the price of a new car, parking lots full of them. What do you want? New car or 6.15 bitcoin? The choice is yours. There are a lot of guys who heard the call, felt the challenge I was laying out and responded to my specific brand of bravado back then. Next year it’s likely they’ll all be millionaires. Beautiful. Exactly my intended goal.

 Ppl like pomp were saying even less than 1 btc lol they were pushing just put in 1% of your net worth in it bro, it can go up or down, only put in what you can afford to lose! Loser mentality . Too worried about being blamed for it if it goes down, yet they promoted things like blockfi lol

 It is funny to promote BlockFi but be scared to promote Bitcoin

 Word 🔥 

I would say pre-shitcoiner Pump had some great interviews out there. His rants on MSNBC were great to watch

 Around 20k super accessible for anyone back then. Another goal post was to be a Satoshi billionaire 

But @HODL did push everyone to get there with that great meme
