.... I cant do that irl as I don't know any bitcoiners.

Until this day, you haven't converted a single nocoiner ? Really ??

You have converted some nocoiners to coiners Gachapin? It's not easy. .and do you confirm with them from time to time that they have not bailed ship? I sometimes feel that I have some folks on-board, but they tend to be quite flighty.. so yeah, not an easy ask in these kinds of times.. the conversion of a nocoiner to a coiner... only the durable seem to be left, and there do not seem to be too many of them in the actual real world.. even though sure, they exist, but I tend to be nervous to ask them if they are still buying at these prices.. .. it's like my prior conversation with d_eddie.. they tend to be evasive and vague.

now 5 ...and my 6th one is in the making.
I just wrote about it, here:

....

JJG, have you become one of these merit farmers who are not reading and just posting stuff.... have you ?? Grin

I could blame whatever oversight might have been there on degradations in memory that comes from aging and other causes? Maybe? I would not expect everyone to read all of the posts, even though I can appreciate some of your frustration when the same exact meme, graph or link is posted within a few pages.. and it might have even been a subject matter that was already addressed (or was a hot topic a few years back and it is being raised as if it were an original idea).... yet still tend to want to give some of the newbies some slack, even though I also don't mind if other members blow up at them for failure to reduce image sizes, and maybe other annoyances.

For the time I have been involved in Bitcoin 5 conversions are actually not that many, but as I wrote before I'm not doing it actively...

And of course, in case sirazimuth doesn't talk about being in BTC to anyone irl, I could certainly understand that his count is 0.
But otherwise being in this space for 8 years without infecting anyone with the BTC-virus is a bit difficult to understand for me ...especially since BTC is such a grand innovation...

Maybe my contrast was largely intended to suggest that getting someone into bitcoin might still cause questions regarding how committed they happen to be../.and yeah maybe we are quibbling.. and I know that I touched some folks in regards to my bitcoin discussions with them, and in some of those cases, we are not in very good touch, so I wonder how committed that they might be in regards to if they ever bought bitcoin or if they held onto bitcoin that they said that they bought.
