Are we deluded? Every time I talk to a normie about crypto/blockchain they either look at me like I'm stupid or scoff at it. I thought this was the future.

That was not my time, this is. But this time it seems different still.. we already have ease of information, why aren't people taking this tech seriously? it upsets me. To us it's obvious but why can't people see it? Are we just deluded?

Over 75% of world still believes in their religions despite easy access to information that debunks a lot of their beliefs.

I prefer people to believe in religions, most atheists I've ran into have been insufferable and just replace religious dogma with political dogma and I'm saying this as an atheist myself.

They'll scoff at the idea of buying something when it's down and deride it as a scam but if they wake up tomorrow and it's 20k they'll be asking you how to buy. This is all a game of figuring out how to roll with the fomo.

They just feel so deluded. I say this as basically a agnostic atheistic buddhist minus anything to do with spirit/soul/afterlife.
I guess that brings home OP's point. We're deluded to normies and vice versa.

The only way to make money trading is to be right when the majority of the other market participants is temporarily wrong.
So, you ought to be scoffed at when you take your position. Of course you'll also be rightfully scoffed at for doing something stupid. Good luck.

I've had a few friends say "if I give you money can you just invest it for me" at which point I emphasize they can lose all their money but no one has asked for a handout...yet.

don't take other people's money and invest it for them. the tax and security law bullshit is already bad enough, that just adds more horrible layers onto your dealings and will count towards setting your tax bracket (and the IRS will come after you for the tax payments). don't even do it for family, you'll be in a world of shit.

and it will happen eventually. it'll be subtle, an "old friend" will contact you with a great business venture that you absolutely can't pass up. the only problem is he is short $50k to get it going and needs a partner. that's where you come in.

Honestly the tech is shit, the use case is also shit.

None of it is proprietary. the store of value thing is a poof.

Stop talking about crypto/blockchain. Bitcoin is the only thing that matters.
