If I find this to be retarded and just plain wrong. In fact, every sale of Bitcoin has a buyer, so if you're buying Bitcoin, you're buying it from someone selling it. That's not causing the network to be strengthened or weakened, the electricity that goes into mining strengthens the network.

Secondly, not everyone has either been in Bitcoin long enough to be independently wealthy or been able to start from a level that they could reach that later on.  I know a guy who recently had to sell some of his bitcoin so he could pay for heating oil. Should he have frozen to death instead?

I say do what you want, the Bitcoin network doesn't care, and why do we have money? It's not just so we can have the biggest pile at the end.

This may seem ironic for those of you who know me. Those of you who know that know I have Bitcoin, but I live a very simple life because I just don't feel the need to spend it. But I see that as being different. That's my choice. It's not me telling other people what to do with their money. In fact, I kinda don't want to be told myself.

Sometimes the things people say about Bitcoin begin to sound like a religion, and I get it. It's a big deal. It's changing the world.
