He bought 9000 BTC and in August 2010 (worth $500) and experimented with transactions right before swiping the drive. 8999 BTC forever lost.

It doesn't matter, the only way you'd be rich off buying bitcoin 6-7 years ago would be if you had actually bought AND forgotten about them. It'd be crazy to not sell after 10x.

And it was smart. No one knew how much money speculators would put into it at time.
A man should made cold, logical choices based on what he know, not what may happen.

Holding cryptos after they had already overvalued would be like buying the stocks of a almost bankrupt company that produce ping pong balls and hope that in 8 years everyone would ignore traditional sports and spend all they have on ping-pong related products.
Yeah, it may happen, but it's unlikely

This. Early bitcoin users saw that shit go to $30 and crash back to $2. Nobody in their right mind would hold through that shit. Nobody with any sense thought it would be back.

Now that we understand crypto market cycles a little better, Linkies know that selling at any point in the future is absolutely retarded. It will keep pumping for 25 years at least.

It's a instinct. Institutions make us feel safe, and for the few humans that don't care about safety, it's a good source of power

it burns my cousin so much that i got into bitcoin while he thought it was garbage and would die. funny thing is after years and plenty of boom and bust cycles he still has the exact same reactions. price is low = it’s a scam. price rises = he starts to get pissed off. price moons = he goes quiet. rinse and repeat. I know it stings him because i never talk crypto up with anyone unless they bring it up first.

If you had 5000 BTC how would you cash out without the bank blocking your account.

I obviously changed my mind concerning bitcoin, but now it is too late. i thought normies would never touch that cause of hacking and volatility etc and only nerds/ancaps were shilling for magic internet money

I also have found it that most buttcoiners are/were actually invested in crypto but still fud it there for the fun.

Everyday is suffering how much a stupid idiot I was.

I don't know if its love so much as being convinced of their permanence. Most seem to think the only way this can go is a continued consolidation of authority, either in megacorps or megagovernments. It's been relatively easy to ignore the shifty sand we've been standing on since the end of WW2, but we might be in for a rude awakening in the near future.
