"The best way to make Bitcoin fail is to believe that its success is guaranteed [...]
That is a really good way to put it.
I believe that Bitcoin will give me success but we still need to manage our expectations as our expectations would be the one to kill our hopes of success. If we expect that bitcoin will give us huge profits in only a short amount of time and it doesn't meet these expectations, we will think already that bitcoin has failed.
I don't understand. Why you guys want BTC to fail? You do not even look like someone who hates it, because you are a long-time member of this forum already and I think I always saw you post positive stuffs about the coin.
I don't also understand the world play there, but it looks contradictory. How can one fail if it's successful already? Haha, but BTC is not new anymore and we already witnessed its performance through the years and by there, we can say that it is really successful. Future is only unpredictable but if in case there are things that can affect it negatively, I won't say that it is a failure. It is not its fault nor its founder and we can just accept it.
it's not true that they want Bitcoin to fail, what they are likely saying is that Bitcoin will fail if we assume that Bitcoin cam succeed on it own or that Bitcoin success is 💯 guaranteed and that it can't fail regardless of what happens. Though Bitcoin has stayed long and has proven beyond some reasonable doubt that it's far from failing, we have to be sincere enough to know that it's not 100% guaranty that it can't happen. I guess that's why he's suggesting that we keep buying and supporting Bitcoin as core Bitcoin enthusiast.
