Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Jade looks like a good candidate for being the wallet to replace my ledger(s).
Passport is clearly the winner. The higher price is well worth it, too (IMHO).A lot of work to do until next week, still found some time to visit a private party in a remote city, and i could at least talk a little about Bitcoin with some people (frens and frens of frens). I didn't reveal my holdings, i was acting like the informed&interested, critical guy, and i took away the impression that BTC is still quite under the radar in the sheeple society. This enables BTC movements in two directions: More future potential to grow, which isn't sounding really new to you guys here, but also more potential for MSM and banks to seed more fear among the less informed and interested, to keep future buyers away.
Surprisingly, the "strongest" (in a negatively biased way) argument was like "nosy holders, that got rich by accident and dump on the little guy" (inspired by SBF news coverage) and unsurprisingly also the good old "ponzi scheme" came up in the talks, but interestingly a "bad banks" sentiment seemed to have established as well. Most participants were still drawn to gold.
OT: In between, as i needed to create a birthday present for a long time fellow stoner, i successfully created my first high quality THC oil, which proved to be high potent as well
, and will be used for more types of "functional food" (for potheads) like chocolate, peanut butter, bakery products. If THC would be legal where i live, i could create and sell a lot of useful products with good ROI for a living. I'll keep my eyes open for future career options, and i would accept Bitcoin, of course 
EDIT: I also heard about "hard to get" Bitcoin in the discussions mentioned above, where i was able to debunk that, as i found out that nobody there knew about BTC coupons, available at post offices, and "BTC-ATM" were well recognized, but nobody tried them yet.
Oh fuck. I hate when I do that. I wrote a whole post, and then I accidentally hit refresh, and that does not work out so well.
Let me try one more time. I am not sure if my post is going to be as good as the first time, but let me try.
I have a bit of trouble with the idea of keeping my mouth shut in a group, and surely there can be situations in which my attention is sparked such as some bitcoin naysayers who are spouting out nonsense or a shitcoin pumpener, so I might not be able to resist, and at the same time, if I am admitting to facts about knowing about bitcoin for nearly 10 years, then that is one thing, versus you are in a situation in which you have known about bitcoin for about a cycle and a half, right OOM?
I suppose if there are insiders and outsiders in the group, then the insiders are not looking to the outsiders for responses, and so in that case, it ends up being a lot easier to end up in the fly on the wall kind of role.
I am surely not going to disagree with much of any of the representations that you made, OOM, because really there are quite a few clueless folks in regards to bitcoin, but surely it is coming up in more and more conversations, and so sometimes we are going to end up running into folks with decent levels of knowledge.
About a year and a half ago, I recall being in a line at a supermarket, and I guy in his mid to late 20s. maybe looking a bit like a backpacker type, asked the cashier if they accept bitcoin or something like that, and I really felt like saying something to the guy, but I did not, and I looked at the person who I was with and we even exchanged a few words. He kind of reminded me of a kind of stereotype bitcoiner (maybe even shitcoiner, who knows?).. but at the same time, I cannot really know anything because I choose NOT to say anything.
I remember another time at a booth in a restaurant in maybe mid-to-late 2016, I was with a friend and we were talking about bitcoin and going over some information, and a guy next to us said something like: Oh you are talking about bitcoin, have you heard about X shitcoin. I cannot remember exactly, but we exchanged a few words with him and then went back to our business, but we did not want to talk about bitcoin anymore until after we left the restaurant to kind of express a bit of annoyance at the guy for budding into what we thought was mostly a private conversation.. and a kind of then presumption that no one really knows about bitcoin.
