People/friends started asking about investment in bitcoin.
I tread carefully. The problem is that they always first ask about bitcoin and few months later it turned out that they changed it to something else.
You cannot teach someone a life experience.

Sadly I got a friend into Bitcoin and he got burned daytarding Ripple.  We don’t speak of it again.

at least you speak. I lost a friend in 2017. he saw me bitcoining all year, bought some bitcoin. after ath he told me "bitcoin is old tech" and invested in cardano, ripple and electroneum. I tried to stop him. $60k. family is broke now. all gone. we don't speak no more.

He thought that he was smarter than you, but instead demonstrated his lil selfie to be a dumb fuck.

Pour one out for the homie.   Cry Cry

Yes it’s rough.  Look at all the big block idiots who cooked their own goose - and they were on the Bitcoin train far earlier than me. 

That's true.  I am pretty sure that those of us who did not buy into BIG blocks and that payment bullshit were not just lucky - even though I understand that some of the arguments that were bandied about by the BIG blockers were not that bad.

Also, many of us (including yours truly) do have tendencies to gamble - so we could get tempted in betting too much in the direction that ended up losing out.  I do know some people who just kept all of their Bcash issued coins, and I suppose that there is nothing that is really wrong with that kind of a bet because they would end up having an equal number of BCH as they had of BTC.. and they just did not sell any of the BCH - just in case.

It could be confusing to see the bcash coins go down to .05BTC, and then believe that they are a value, and then end up using some BTC to leverage into those coins, but now, they have been stuck in the sub .02 BTC territory for a couple of months, currently at about .016 BTC.  There could be a pump to get them back to .05BTC.. but geez don't even know if that would demonstrate the kind of value that many of them had been expecting...
