And what have you tried to do?

As i see it you dont do anything but expect others to do it for you with this metod...


What do you mean what have I done?

I'm just a regular guy, I've invested what I can afford to over the last 18 months or so into a speculative investment (bitcoin).

Whenever I've had spare fiat I've bought. I HODL a semi decent stash in cold storage in the hope that one day bitcoin booms & I make a better life for myself. Maybe it'll work, maybe I'll have pissed my money down the drain but I'm trying.

Why what have you done?

I am not talking about what you have done all your life. I quoted something and asked a question about a statement you had. Dont care what else you have done...



You said: "And what have you tried to do?" and then, without waiting for an answer, leapt straight to: "As i see it you dont do anything but expect others to do it for you with this metod..."

Given that, LFC_Bitcoin's reply seems entirely reasonable. Polite and restrained, even. LFC answered your question, and then asked the same question of you.

Did you read what i quoted?

As i understand he meant that putting his coins in cold storage and wait for others to make them valuable was some sort of contribution. It is not only him but many around here that think this way. If everyone did the same with their coins the whole bitcoin experience would be forgotten in a month...

Eveyone can do whatever they want with their coins buit dont tell anyone that you are trying to help out if you only try to help yourself.

I don't think you're being fair. Yes you are doing something by putting a little money into Bitcoin here and there. You are supporting Bitcoin because you want a better monetary system that isn't based on debt, and isn't confined by borders.  When times are lean then it makes sense to stash something valuable away, until it becomes worth more. When the value appreciates again, Bitcoin holders can use their increased purchasing power to support businesses that embrace crypto, rather than cash out. That's what 'many around here' are waiting to do I'm sure.

After seeing your contribution to the devianttwo-thread I am tempted to leave Bitcoin altogether.

Edit: I see it's removed. As I remember it was an unfortunate picture of a child and a poem about how adversity makes you stronger.
