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.
I understand. For sure many newcoiners might not have the battle tested diamond hands that many WOers have.
When it comes to my surrounding I make it very clear that BTC is not a get-rich-quick vehicle. So most of my "conversions" have a time horizon of many years, some even 10-15 years. And I guess I couldn't expect more than that from a newbie.
