But seriously kids, don't take financial advice from a hick fireman who buys Bitcoin with a credit card -- however convincing he may sound.

That advice is actually from Warren Buffet.

I bought when they were from $6 to $10. The hard part was holding onto them when when it crashed down to three bucks and stayed there for six months and then holding onto them through three more bubbles and crashes. I love my job as a fireman. I get payed to do what most people do for free. (most firefighters are volunteers).

I am no financial expert or genius, but I have options because I have a huge pile of coins and a massive short that I can pull the trigger on at any time. I'm just gonna wait you bastards out because I'll make money off of you either way. Bitcoin will either teach you patience or it will make you broke.

A person with balance in their life can be more objective. I am at peace with my decisions. The good ones made me money and the bad ones taught me something.

He was wrong to say that. What he should have said was "don't take financial advice from someone who thinks losing 50 grand while they make 20 grand is making money."
