“If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.” |
― Satoshi Nakamoto |
People are happy to spend their money to buy a new iPhone every year, willing to spend on fancy restaurants for a date, Starbucks, parties, and ohhh on everything that is useless… but when it comes to the one thing that may actually change their life for good, suddenly they need to “think about it deeply” and end up with nah, I can’t afford it.
Well, I guess they probably deserved to be stuck in the hamster wheel.
"Have fun. Staying poor" is one I like to use a lot... The sad part is that if they would just listen to me rather than be jealous or pissed off about what they missed. The ones that come to me each cycle asking about what the "next bitcoin" is??? How many times have I heard, "I'm so happy that you got rich (like they have any clue)," all the while never hearing, "Hey, guess what I bought"?
The thing is that if they mention that they should have had listened to me at some earlier point like 2014 when I first started saying something, but even there were plenty that would acknowledge that they should have had listened at any point..
So then my answer has tended to be "get started as soon as possible." and still the situation repeats over and over and over and over...
even buying as late as 2022, 2023 or 2024 would have had been great - even if not as good as having had been able to buy in 2018, 2019, or 2020.
And for sure not as great, as 2014, 2015 and/or 2016...
Almost all of them look great to have average costs that are locked in, and geez anyone who has average cost of $30k or $40k or lower must have a certain quantity of confidence - at least I personally consider that it is not too likely that those prices will ever be experienced again, absent some kind of catastrophic failure. ...
The extra sad part is that I actually have a great deal more that have reached out to me after the fact asking how to get the money that they made on xxx blah crap boing, and they just need my help getting out all their gains... The only consistent thing other than them not buying Cornz is they all get mad at me like I am the one who stole their money when I have to explain the Nigerian prince scam to them....
I don't hide my involvement as much as just not try to blatantly convert each and everyone I see at the grocery store. I feel I have put my time in and it was wasted at that. Luckily enough for whatever reason or reasons, I have found myself here, and it's another crazy top in what seems like a never-ending rollercoaster. I am truly amazed each and every day. Not that I haven't made stoopid and not so stoopid mistakes in abundance on my way to get here. Again, the fact that I am not greedy and have no need to "raise my nut" makes me feel like no matter what happens, it is going to be a great second half. (life that is) And that's just with current standings... Think about what is going to happen in the next 5 or 10 years that .63 will be worth exponentially more dollarinos. (hookers and blow for everyone!!!)
Just gotta wait a lil longer...

That is what part of the amazing aspect, even for newbies.. It is way more likely to be able to accumulate 0.1 BTC or perhaps 0.21 BTC, and so it is becoming more and more difficult to even get to 0.63 BTC...
We used to be able to get more than 1,000 satoshis for a dollar, and it seems to be getting more and more difficult to accomplish that.. so guys might have to figure out first getting to 100k satoshis, then perhaps a million and then work their way up to the higher amounts. It depends on which part of the world some of us are in, in terms of income and if we have a discretionary income.. and surely some younger folks who are students might legitimately feel that they have to work on their education.. so it can be quite difficult when some younger folks might not have much of an income and/or some folks from low earning places, they might recognize the value of accumulating bitcoin, yet they are also struggling to put together a lot of money.. even something like $100 per week is likely not even going to get a person 0.33 bitcoin after 10 years of accumulating... so it can be difficult to figure out how much to continue to buy it for those who have not yet started accumulating sats.
