I have long since stopped advising people to buy Bitcoin. Outwardly, I'll say because it's a big risk and people should do their own research for themselves (which is true) but inwardly, it's because I know they'll find a way to fuck it up and blame me. I sold a friend a small sliver of coin and he immediately used it to buy some "red hot" shitcoin. He'd be up about 10x now if he'd just sat on it.
