 Gm nostriches, have an awesome day, enjoy the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. If you happen to get THAT phone call from that normie friend, obviously stay humble and help them out, but also consider this…… 

I spoke to you about #bitcoin because I consider it important. You did not value my opinion enough to go and explore the topic yourself to try and understand why? You didn’t have the mental curiosity to question your beliefs and find out something new. 

I cannot teach you anything (Archimedes), I can’t make you understand anything. It is down to you to ask questions, listen, watch, read, make an effort to get your own answers. Is it a good time to buy? I’m not going to give you an answer. It might have been a good time to buy with hindsight.

Asking me again in 2 years and today may have been a good time to buy, but unless you understand why you’re buying #bitcoin, you probably shouldn’t. All I ask is you show me the courtesy of spending a little time looking into this subject before the next time you ask.

A lack of an inquisitive nature providing the drive to want to learn and better yourself is actually a much bigger issue than whether now is or is not a good time to buy an asset to protect your time value that you don’t understand. Think about THIS before asking anymore questions. https://x.com/_bitcoinmatrix/status/1690842150877933568?s=46
