All this talk about people & Bitcoin...

Over the years I have dealt with so many people asking about Bitcoin. It's uncanny how exactly alike all their thought processes are:

2013: wtf is this shit, it's a bubble, nerd money, governments will destroy it, it doesn't have any value because it's not regulated/controlled. It's too late to buy now anyway.
2014: told you it was crap nobody cares
2015: *crickets*
2016: I wish I bought Bitcoin a year ago. You are so lucky!! Now it's too late for me.
2017: I wish I bought Bitcoin a year ago. You are so lucky. Now it's too expensive for me. I realize I can buy just a fraction but my ego doesn't allow me to be content with just a fraction of an arbitrary numerical division of the thing. But have you heard about Ethereum? Or Shitcoin xyz? Someone said it's the next Bitcoin and it has been going up and I can actually afford to buy one! *proceeds to not buy anything*
2018: I wish I bought Bitcoin a year ago...

I don't care. I don't preach. All I do is explain the technology and its implications for society to those who show genuine interest. Why should I wish unjust rewards on those who clearly don't deserve them? Bitcoin is a revolutionary technology with a promise of changing society to the better. Because it is a monetary technology, those of us with enough vision to see the potential, risk our own money and enough nerve to hold through the FUD, haters, bear markets, hacks and laughter get rewarded. Simple as that. The guy who laughed it off in 2014 and felt he "missed the boat" in 2017 will end up buying some in 2023 together with his gradma.
