Always checking in on this thread, even if I hardly contribute, but touching base with you permabulls is always nice every now and then. Latecomer myself but was surprised earlier in the year when people in this longer than I, purported bulls, were expressing how they were losing hope and it seemed strange for me, given how high price had gone just recently, and how they'd presumably been through far distressing periods.
So it's a return to basics with threads like these, especially knowing guys like Dave who appear on occassion are still fighting the fight, mining and trading... Business as usual is the mantra for the bulls.
You nearly summed our live our permabull friend, buwaytress.
As we dive 'everyday' into Bitcoin, we ask ourselves, how can't people grasp this breakthrough technology and it's impact on humanity ? Are we the people with 160+ IQ assembled as one of the most intelligent communities on Earth and ever known to Humanity ?
The journey is full of frustration, but yet amazing.
yeah this is a nice place for BULLS/long term believers to be around..... i also don't fully understand why some where having panic etc , but maybe that just shows that some are overinvested or just don't fully believe in the long term of
BTC, and surely doesn't deserve beeing in
BTC this early ..... that king of people should be entering @ later times when there's no other way around it anymore

(many doesn't deserve to be in BTC @ this cheap prices)
You got it right our dear permabull friend, micgoossens. A lot of people who entered the space were looking for a 'get-rich-quick' theme and they even didn't try to research about bitcoin to know that in the end (long-term), it's our destiny whatever we liked or not !!!
Hi again brother!!
I am a permabull.
OBVIOUSLY.
Any BTC lost is good for those who HODL, and at the same time we do need some way to more securely preserve and protect those we who HODL.
I think this is a business opportunity for those much smarter than I. A way to secure, in a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger, and at the same time preserve absolute security. It may require biometrics (fingerprints, eye scans, facial recognition technologies), or some other absolute security I cannot even imagine, but I can imagine.
For those who hold BTC,... lost BTC is no loss to you. It only increased scarcity to your benefit. We SHOULD try to avoid the loss of BTC, and that includes those who die while owning BTC. THIS IS AN ISSUE.
Good will to all who HODL.
Be strong;
We are all future wealthy IMHO.
Hey Bitmore1, nice to see you again our dear permabull brother and friend

I liked the two points you've came across.
- Regarding privacy, you will find beneath this comment the state-of-art privacy guide by the infamous Go to the profile of Jameson Lopp (@lopp), it cover nearly all the issues when it comes to OPSEC.
- Regarding the lost BTC, as Satoshi said, it's sacrifice and sending a 'thank you' for the HODLERS, although I don't like BTC lost because I put myself in the shoes of the person who've lost his/her BTC and feel how much painful it's for him/her but this life and nothing we can do about, and even if we've found solutions, I don't know if it will be fail-proof/bullet-proof or not.
And yes, we must be strong whatever happens and believe me, we will be rewarded for this insane pain we've witnessed/witnessing and will witness.
Also yes, we are the NEW WORLD ELITES
