Every time I scroll past this, I think it's a dildo:
An_old_and_rusted_screw.jpg’s mind got a rusty screw loose, so got screwed financially with a rusty pipe by dumping at the bottom of a crash. Thus, your remark seems appropriate. Albeit cruel!
[—in re personal viciousness and treachery—]
Now, that was “pulling a mindrust!”
I suppose that it is a matter of character.
JJG was more right than he knew!
Gotta be careful in helping out nocoiners too much because frequently they got to being nocoiners for a reason.

I almost want to give him some Bitcoin, a trivial amount, just to stop him from being a nocoiner.

Mindrust is likely NOT in a very solid state of mind, currently.
Was he ever?
There is hereby a greater point than some irrelevant individual forum user. Jay, you recall how I defended mindrust—how I urged others not to humiliate him personally over a poor financial decision. The term “pulling a mindrust” seemed to me untoward.
Well, as I said, I learned a lesson here. What hidden flaws of character may be the underlying cause, if a man suddenly flips on something that he had thereto praised so highly—turns against it, not by his words, but by actions that say, “I don’t think that this is a good idea!”
Emotional pressure from a bear market is irrelevant. If somebody’s behaviour is dangerously unstable under emotional pressure, then it is dangerously unstable, period. Life is pressure. Some proverbs about fair-weather friends come to mind.
Much though I dislike the alleged “cult mentality” of Bitcoiners who criticize others for not believing hard enough, if somebody does believe in Bitcoin, and preaches it, and practises it—and then suddenly dumps all of his bitcoins in the heat of the moment!—not even hedges more or less rationally, but dumps Bitcoin altogether—then in retrospect, I see that it was naïve of me not to take that as an indication of character.
I don’t expect much from random peeps on the interwebs. I do not expect to be consoled or patted on the head by arbitrary people! I do expect that anyone with even the slightest shred of decency will not take the initiative to seek out and attack me personally on the grounds that I’ve been upset over the disappearance of my friend. WTF? I suppose that is what WO people meant by “pulling a mindrust”.
Reply to Jay to be continued on other subjects—I hope. Trying not to fall behind the thread, at this particular moment.
