 honestly, as someone from the class of ‘21, I’m just looking forward to the social validation that will come from $100k+ #bitcoin

I don’t care that it reaches $100k; I don’t care if it reaches $200k, or $300k, or $1m+

I just want my family and close friends to finally get it 
 I thunk earlier classes are still waiting so don't get too excited.  
 Most will never socially validate us. Most people are communists who at best will be envious of your success. Embrace that, it is very freeing. 
 all I care for are my immediate network (family+friends); everyone else can gfy 😂 
 Fair enough and based. I'm incredibly lucky, almost my entire close circle gets it on some level and many are fully in.

I did spend a lot of social capital preforming meme warfare on them at the bottom though. 2 long years, this spring was euphoric. Best feeling, better than any drug on earth. 
 some sufficiently-early classes have already put their immediate family onto a bitcoin standard

if they live it, they see it 
 I don't think that will happen in the short to medium term honestly. People will say how "lucky" you were, how such an increase in price will never happen again  
 that argument is getting old; after 15 years, if folks still peddle that sentiment, even they have to realize they need to wake up and smell the sats 
 I have very similar feelings on this. I heard a lot of "its fucking Game Stop loser, shut up about bitcoin" when I predicted 100,000 in 5 years 7-1-2026 . It would be satisfying to be right a year early I have to say : )
