"Everyone Is Getting Hilariously Rich and You’re Not" (The New York Times)

>The cryptocurrency community is centered around a tightknit group of friends — developers, libertarians, Redditors and cypherpunks — who have known each other for years through meet-ups, an endless circuit of crypto conferences and internet message boards. Over long hours in anonymous group chats, San Francisco bars and Settlers of Catan game nights, they talk about how cryptocurrency will decentralize power and wealth, changing the world order.

Read that earlier.

I've been looking into the space deeply for the past week but that article is the only reason why I'm desperate enough to be here.

I'm smart, I'm decent looking and can socialize. I live in the bay area. I thought about starting to go to blockchain meetups years ago.

I feel disgusted with myself. Fucking morons with triple digit millions, funding scam companies like Augur FUUUCK I WAANTED FUCKING IIIINNNN

What made you wait so long? There were Anons in third world countries buying crypto five years ago. You have no excuses living in San Francisco.

Many of us have been there.

The main thing I learned from crypto last year is that I should actively pursue the shit I'm interested in instead of procrastinating forever.

I've been reading about BTC since launch. I always thought it was interesting. I remember have a long conversation about it with a normie friend when it was still $0.50. I said I was going to buy some, then forgot about it. Same thing with ETH.

It was very painful to watch brainlets get rich on stuff they don't even understand, while I wageslave all day writing C++, simply because I couldn't be bothered to go after something that actually interested me, I was just that lazy.

The pain caused me to change my attitude, it might be too late for crypto now but I finally got into it, and hopefully this change will translate to other areas of my life.

its funny because SV was late to the party on bitcoin. theyve caught up now but they still have ancien ideas about raising money, and the kind of products that are worthwhile investments. for example, a lot of them still think there is money to be made investing in blockchain startups instead of the blockchains themseves.

if anything this whole movement is going to remove most of the tech centralization in SV forever.

Unless we can get rid of the Jew York Times and a lot of other evil this "crypto revolution" will have no value whatsoever.

[Anonymous No.6411390]

I know we say it over and over again, but it is just ridiculous how similar this is to the dot-com bubble. Just unbelievable.

As I was reading this, I kept seeing immediate similarities in how these people behaved compared to the "techies" in the 90s:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsVpNB2Lv3U

It's a long watch, but well worth it.

It is, there's so much bullshit products logic dictates it must crash this year.

[Anonymous No.6411564]

>>6411390
it is but unlink the american .com bubble this market is global, and other countries are already ahead of the US in volume/adoption, why is why it's so funny that the best the SF VCs can come up with is accredited-investor only shitcoins like filecoin, years late to the market, and competing directly with native solutions.

there will have to be a crash soon, by at least 75%, but that shouldnt bother anyone but the late adopters, and we need people to get burned to clean up the ecosystem of shitcoins in the first place.

Just like the Dot-com bubbles, giants will arise from this. Obvously Bitcoin and ETH will likely be at the top.

The chink shitcoins will crash so now is the time to take advantage of these pumps.

>Mr. Hummer went out to meet Joe Buttram, 27, for drinks. As a mixed martial arts. fighter, Mr. Buttram said he would fight for a couple hundred bucks, sometimes a few thousand, and worked security at a start-up, but his main hobbies were reading 4chan and buying vintage pornography, passions that exposed him to cryptocurrency.

Taking risks is for absolute idiots. I keep my entire life savings in cash hidden in my closet (over 7k, more than half you losers have ever seen in your life). You have no idea if a bank will just close one day and lose your money. There's this thing called "bank runs" and although most of you uneducated neets probably haven't heard of that, it's a real thing.
