Re: Would you live in a Tiny House? How about on a boat?
I would love to buy on a boat, specifically a YATCH. Too bad I missed the Bitcoin boat, now i just slave away at work, bald and wait for cancer (or maybe for the 1% chance 1 btc is high enough that I become rich in my lifetime, im 25, maybe... just maybe)
Bitcoin isn't a get-rich-quick scheme, if you have lost your faith, the best thing you can do is howl your coins and forget about them for some years.
99% people here are here coz trying to get rich
If I invested when BTC was 1000 like a lot of other people did, I would be fucked as we speak.
True. But if you had constantly bought 100$ worth of BTC/month over the past year, where would you be then with your investment?
Yeah but let's talk about NOW. By the time most people hear about BTC and what it is, the price will be even higher, so worse than now for them to invest.
That's bullshit, early miners and investors got rich with minimum effort (luck). And don't sell me "they took big risks". Nope, some invested a couple dollars then got rich 3 years later. People investing now is the ones taking huge risks.
Bitcoin is a cool technology but it's going nowhere since people like me (the 99%) think we are just serving another 1% elite (the big stakeholders). So everyone i've talked to said they might as well get paid in gov/army backed money rather than put it in some experiment that doesn't really change anything in your life.

Leave your money in a bank account and lose what, 2% purchasing power per year? Fine. Or put it into a high risk investment that yielded several hundred % the past years ... your choice really. If you are convinced that this experiment won't change anything in your life, than there is nothing to be sorry about, just keep your happy fiat!
Just don't come back here next year and cry to us because you missed the same boat twice ;-)

If I invested 20 bucks back in the day, I would be rich.
This is why people (normal people) aren't getting into BTC, risk reward now is too low.
How in hell im supossed to get BTC if im going from bill to bill?
Same way as you get anything else in life: make a list of things you really want/need, prioritize the items on your list, check your budget, cross out things from your list until what you want equals what you can afford - then buy. If it turns out that BTC is no longer on that list, then either your budget is too small, or your priorities are others (new cellphone? car? TV set? vacations?)

I dont have any spare BTC, faucets are jokes,
Honestly, why should anyone give out BTC for free? This is not how life works, sorry.

and I cant risk my savings into BTC (small savings anyway).
Understandable, and probably a wise decision not to risk life savings however small on a high risk investment. Yet again: no risk, no reward, sorry pal.

This is what 99% of people i've talked about conclude with, so they end up ignoring the whole BTC thing, since their (our) life will go on the same as it is now.
Remains to be seen. Fiat money is a dead end, and the blockchain virus has already been released from Pandora's box, it won't just simply disappear again.
My advice if you really don't have that much to spend on BTC: set aside small amounts, buy whatever fraction of a bitcoin you can afford every month, and keep it safe in cold storage. Then come back in a year and see if it was worth it.
Most people CANT afford doing what you pretend. Dude im all for BTC being a success, im just being realistic, you aren't. For BTC to be a success we need mass adoption, and most people aren't going to risk exchanging their money for BTC. So how do we solve this?
