Oddbean new post about login | logout Someone who had 65 bitcoins sent me this email today https://image.nostr.build/908ed03a5171d05f3434a1f2f7cd29925e4e5883ac25cb3a552004ac6a4f41fe.jpg My response https://image.nostr.build/e4956d457ae250879f2cb7aa0433fe6911564b381edadac38401a84a44905a4c.jpg
Should have just hit them with a “Have Fun Staying Poor” and then a block. Unless this person is a close friend, they are likely a lost cause (something it’s BECAUSE they are YOUR close friend which makes them a lost cause). The psychology of buying in 2015 and selling in 2021 - with them spending down that money over the past 3 years will make them resistant to ever buying back in at a higher fiat pairing. They will likely never recoup their former holdings and wind up with less then halve a coin at the end of the day. Otherwise, let the dead rest…
Beta/slave mindset. Remember Ephialtes? https://greekreporter.com/2024/04/06/ephialtes-the-most-notorious-traitor-in-greek-history/ This guy isn’t going to make the cut.
He didn't know Bitrefill 😂
There is TDS. Is the. Bitcoin derangement syndrome too?
BDS is definitely a thing.
The thing I see out in the wild the most is people say they missed the boat because they ‘heard’ about it, and ‘could have bought’ X number of year’s ago so they refrain from getting in now.
Agreed. This is the most common response. Talked to a guy yesterday who knew a guy in 2010 that was mining it. Thinks he has missed out so has been ignoring it.
Legendary response!.... The original email was poorly written and meant to cause alarm, but carries a valid message within..... the first rule of Bitcoin is do not invest more than you are prepared to lose. Secondly, your transactions are not private and wallets are sketchy, sometimes they may or may not have backdoors......digital currency IS enevitable, we are in a digital age from here on out. Bitcoin still has many challenges, it is not the guaranteed winner. Just because it makes sense to you and me, doesn't mean it will be in the final adoption plan anywhere. We barely got cryptography, just by the skin of our teeth..... there are many bitcoiners, and we surround ourselves daily with bitcoin talk in these echo chambers, but honestly... There really aren't that many of us..... I am personally hopeful for a bitcoin future, the awesome one that everyone else wants, but I live in reality and sometimes things happen that don't make sense. Nobody can see into the future, So God Bless Bitcoiners and my our quest for a better world be fulfilled....Raining love on anyone who read this far....
