J.K. Rowling is starting to piss me off on Twitter now, begging for attention. Nobody cares if you don’t want to invest in bitcoin, we don’t need your worthless fiat to moon, silly old boomer cunt.

She has millions of followers so look at the positive and take this as a free publicity. who knows if some of her followers might end up buying some BTC.

Pretty much everyone knows about bitcoin, it didn't help that all the replies were retarded. But it doesn't matter, the next era of bitcoin will be because its necessary, not because of publicity, or speculation, or technical curiosity like previous era's.

Lot's of people have heard of bitcoin, sure... of course, but they have hardly no fucking clue about what it is, including some people who buy it, and I am not even excluding myself from such person's who have difficulties understanding what the fuck bitcoin is.

In other words, I would not presume anything even close to full knowledge coming from anyone merely because they had heard what bitcoin is and they are able to describe it in one or two sentences.

Agree 100% Pretty sure none of the replies will help anyone with that! Cheesy

My larger point I suppose, was that I don't think the next leg up will be people buying because they saw a J.K tweet, but because they need to buy it.

Well, Room 101, you have been around the block a few times, so you are no newbie to the bitcoinspace, and likely you realize that a lot of measurements of differences end up being on the margins - in other words, sometimes perceptions and even just the fact that a bunch of friends in a social group keep talking about bitcoin causes other people in the group to "look into the matter" more closely and can make a difference between whether they buy some bitcoin or just stay on the sidelines.

Probably, you are correct with any suggestion that bitcoin likely gives few shits about whether these JK Rowling fans buy bitcoin or not, but in the end, we have all kinds of fringe groups and fringe uses in bitcoin, and on the margins, these fractionalized groups can end up making some differences in terms of network effects and spreading the word and raising awareness, even if bitcoin hardly gives any shits whether they join in or not, and it is NOT like bitcoin needs them.. but at the same time, bitcoin cannot exclude them either... just like it cannot exclude Roger Ver or Craig Wright when they come back to bitcoin on their knees.. and who cares whether Roger Ver or Craig Wright come back to bitcoin, which is likely inevitable that they will anyhow, and their coming back also makes differences on the margins in terms of increasing usage, network effects etc.

About retarded replies... what else you can expect from the nerd community when talking with the opposite sex Grin

Bitcoin does not discriminate.

She accepts: retards, fanaticals, drug dealers, MILFs, grandmas, computer nerds, normies, financial wizards, governments, non-profit organizations, Corona survivors, daddies contributing towards a child's college fund and whatever is thrown her way. Sure some of them will be tricked out of their coins along the way, but bitcoin no doesn't care.
