 I get the gambling aspect of buying $hitcoins, but even that is hard to justify.

1) It's a losing, zero-sum game
2) It tells me that you don't understand #Bitcoin

 Def agree, especially #2, folks still got their heads in the clouds while the whales swallow up any potential hope for freedom they have 🤷‍♂️👊

 When I first started on my journey, I didn’t understand. I thought I did and wasted money chasing a lottery win. D.U.M.B.  I wish I’d just stayed focus on the BTC. 🤷🏼 Learned the hard way.

 Whenever I mention that I am an “investor with a focus on Bitcoin”

More often than not I end up in a conversation about “crypto”

Some coin. Project. Loss. Failure. Moon shot. Next best thing etc 

The cafe owner “I am long a bunch of alts to outpace Bitcoin this cycle”

Not sure it’s working out too well…

 It’s too high time preference. 
Once you understand bitcoin, you start to look unkindly upon high time preference endeavors.
