Title: Why I hate 90% of Bitcoin investors
Post by: Anonymous Kid on November 03, 2017, 10:14:01 AM
Most people that investing bitcoin now, are just investing to make money. It annoys the hell out of me. 90% of people haven't read the white paper! Don't even know why decentralisation is a good thing! Don't know why the blockchain is such a revolutionary invention! It annoys me so much! These people just invest because they want to "get rich quick".

And the annoying thing is that if someone had told me about bitcoin 6 years ago, I still would have put all of my money into it. Unfortunately I'm only 16 so I didn't know ANYONE (when I was 9) that would tell me about bitcoin. I only just heard of it 7 months ago and henceforth, have become OBSESSED with crypto. Now I've dropped out of school for crypto and it really does my nut in when all I hear is "Bitcoin to $10K!", "Bitcoin to $20k!".

Deep down I actually hope that the bubble (yes it is a mini-bubble) pops after the Segwit fork and that the price goes back down to $2k. That way all of these stupid investors can suck their thumbs and get taught a lesson. 90% of these people also would have said bitcoin was a scam 9-15 months ago but now look at them. They run around like fucking idiots screaming "BLOCKCHAAINN!!!", "DECENTRALISATIONNNN!!!".

Smh.

Rant over.

Well everyone wants to make money 95% of the users are here to make extra money and learn more about coins as well. Nobody would do something for bitcoin if you didn't get money.

So calm down. Some users are here also for hobby and they get extra money.

That is the painful truth my friend unfortunately Bitcoin's purpose as a currency only comes second now as many people including me make money out of it and really it is not my fault I came from a country where cryptocurrency is yet to be use in any kind of transactions so mostly I am trap with trading and converting Bitcoin to Fiat currency. And why do you need to hate them or us? We are just taking advantage of the price movement of it we are buyers who are hoping to have a extra few cash for our expenses. And from my understanding at your age which is 16 you have decided to dropped out of school in order to go full time with cryptocurrency, which you are becoming a profit-taker yourself.

No! The point was never to "make money". The point was to revolutionise the way in which we represent a medium of exchange and providing a new, secure way in which it can be done without a centralised authority.

If your only here to make money then I politely ask for you leave. Because in the long-run, if you stop making money, we all know that 100% of that 90% would leave without a second thought. They don't give two cents about what bitcoin represents or how it is so game-changing. Purely here because of greed.

Only 10 % are patiently waiting for the next correction before buying bitcoin again. They are not like FOMO guys out there (maybe the 90%?)  because the opportunity comes in the right time.

good luck  ;)

of all the good aspects bitcoin offers as a decentralized currency i'm wondering more and more about it's value as a usable currency especially if you keep the transactions fees and the time it takes to settle a transaction. so therefore investment-trading with bitcoin seems to be a reasonable part of it.

Its not their fault pal.
If some thing is big it need to proof it self and now bitcoin proof itself.
So more people are interested.
You want people to believe in the community then the price must rise more .
You cannot get people into something just because its a great technology.
The believe in something that make something good to great.

That makes sense right? But these "stupid" investors you are referring is not really stupid. Do you think they are millionaires now if they are "stupid"? And also, if the price dumps all the way back to $2000, do you think that it will be staying there? no, these investors will make a way to get back the price to the top, add also the people who are wanting to buy bitcoin at a lower price.

Why does it matter if they haven't read the whitepaper or don't care or know anything about decentralization?
The fact that these people are using Bitcoin should be enough, no?

Most of us want mass-adoption, it's a bit silly to expect everyone who buys Bitcoin to first read the whitepaper and know of all technical aspects.

You're in no place to tell anyone to 'fuck off', you don't get to decide why someone should or shouldn't use Bitcoin. You sound very elitist tbh and I disagree with your notion that the Bitcoin community should be some elite club of people who are only in it because of ideological reasons.

These people aren't using it because they wan't to make payments etc. They are just buying it to make money; Therein lies the problem. They are not "adopting" bitcoin, they are using it to try and make a quick buck. Honestly, I think bitcoin is massively overvalued - About 1% of merchants accept it. Unless this new money keeps on flowing in or, bitcoin gets accepted by Amazon, eBay or another mainstream commerce company in the near future, the music is going to stop and with it, the price.

By all means, if you are buying bitcoin to purchase a car, make an over-seas transaction or, use it for gambling then go ahead. In fact it is 100% beneficial for the ecosystem to do so. Because at least then, you are using bitcoin for it's intended purpose; As a medium of exchange.

it is sad to know that you are drop out on school because of the obsession on crypto, although you can learn how the crypto currecny works via the internet and this forum. but the actual knowledge you will learn in life that the school will give you are not limited. It is still better to go to school so you will learn more. Like what you are posting here. It is annoy you that 90% of bitcoiner right now is swim on the sea for quick money and to get rich. Which what the inventor want is to be apart on the government and bank: "Decentralization" and the blockhain is one of the new revolutionary creation. If you will study more on school you will See, feel and visualize their vision why people are now swimming on the sea.

REMEMBER: They are Investors which means They are business minded.

you wish to have or pop a bubble to make those 90% investors cry! do you think they well let it happen?

I consider miners as third intermediary, as your transaction will get stuck without them.
without investors, bitcoin price will not reach current price, over $7400. Event though many people or mostly will cash out their investment in order to extract profits.
waiting for the price drop back and then buy back in the dip, again.
Unfortunately, this happen due to most government doesn't legalize bitcoin as legal payment such in Japan. It's not easy to spend bitcoin directly whenever you are shoping in a grocery or merchant. Until the time has come when I can spend bitcoin easily, directly, everywhere, bitcoin still become an asset for me, a store of value.

Apologies, I should have said centralised authority.

This is why I think it is so overvalued. Unless the commerce and use-cases for bitcoin can catch up with the current price, a lot of people are going to lose money because of the dip that is inevitably going to come.

OMG you dropped out of school for crypto!??  :o :o :o :o

That is a HUGE mistake. Sorry kid, but I don't think you completely understand the concept of money and living.

Some of these people on here are crazy and maybe stupid, but dropping out of school to rely on crypto was beyond stupid. (No offense, but it is. I'm not gonna sugar coat it). If there is a way to get back in school I would consider it.

It is hard enough to get a good job without a college degree. Trying to get a good job without a high school education is even harder. You better hope that Bitcoin succeeds, because if it doesn't you're going to be in a world of hurt. This should be a good lesson for you why it isn't good to put all your eggs in one basket. If crypto fails, your life is going to be very very difficult.


People are excited about money, because money is very hard to earn. This kind of money that people are getting is life changing for a lot of people. For some people, they will be able to pursue certain passions that would not be available to them otherwise. Money is essentially freedom, especially if you're poor.

While Bitcoin is a revolutionary concept, if I had waited to read the white paper and a whole bunch of other stuff before hoping in I would have missed out on a good opportunity. Sometimes you have to recognize an opportunity where your knowledge on something may not be as great as the experts. If you have a general understanding you can trust your gut and hope for the best. If you overanalyze things you can sometimes miss out on some great opportunities.


I'm really sorry that you dropped out of school. This can sometimes be the greatest mistake one can make in life. I really hope things turn out well for you in the end.

What do you think happens when people make payments with Bitcoin? Most businesses accepting Bitcoin will just exchange those Bitcoins directly for fiat once they receive them (Overstock is an exception).
People who are using Bitcoin as a long term investment aren't doing anything wrong and I also don't see how it hurts Bitcoin. People also use fiat currency for investment, people also save massive amounts of fiat currency without using it.

Ideally, I'd like to see even more investors get into Bitcoin, raise the marketcap and perhaps make it a bit less volatile in the future.
Bitcoin is just too volatile to be used as a means of exchange for most people.

Imagine getting your paycheck in Bitcoin and the next day you've just lost a couple of hundred dollars, now you're short for paying your bills etc.

You really did not need to drop out of school just for Cryptocurrency. Feels like a dumb move. And as for the investors, that you are calling stupid because they did not bother to read the Bitcoin's whitepaper according to you, well it's not your money they are investing and that is how the world works. It is not stupid.  Stupid is dropping out of school for something you can easily devote some time to learn in your free time.

I don't think it's a problem. There is no need all of the people investing in Bitcoin know completely the technology behind it. Everyday you are using mobile, Internet, Television and any other technologies. Do you know completely how they work? There is no need. You just use them.  
People you mentioned are using their talent and making some profit and they are also making bitcoin more popular. They are helping Bitcoin to attract more people and they are getting their reward too. What's the problem?

By the way, those people don't leave the school, their education or their job. Most of them are living like before and just spend some of their time on cryptocurrencies. And better you don't change your life.

Most people that investing bitcoin now, are just investing to make money. It annoys the hell out of me.
That's the reality, money makes the world go round and everyone strives to make money with everything. And as the popular bitcoin starts to make noise, many are now seeing it as a money making tool which is true.

90% of people haven't read the white paper!

You hit me with your bullet since I'm not able to finish reading it. By the way, how did you got that stats?

Don't even know why decentralisation is a good thing!

And for those countries that are supporting and legalizing bitcoin it's quite impossible now for them to know what is this thing.

Don't know why the blockchain is such a revolutionary invention! It annoys me so much!

Mostly thinks that it is more of an innovation so they don't have to know more about it, relax mate.

These people just invest because they want to "get rich quick".

Very well, all of us want it then.

And the annoying thing is that if someone had told me about bitcoin 6 years ago, I still would have put all of my money into it. Unfortunately I'm only 16 so I didn't know ANYONE (when I was 9) that would tell me about bitcoin. I only just heard of it 7 months ago and henceforth, have become OBSESSED with crypto. Now I've dropped out of school for crypto and it really does my nut in when all I hear is "Bitcoin to $10K!", "Bitcoin to $20k!".

And you are mad at those people that wants to get rich quick? Good luck with your dropping out are you inspired by Erik Finman?

Deep down I actually hope that the bubble (yes it is a mini-bubble) pops after the Segwit fork and that the price goes back down to $2k.

Your intentions aren't really clear to me before but now it is clear.  :-X

That way all of these stupid investors can suck their thumbs and get taught a lesson.
You should be even thankful to all of investors even how stupid they are, they add money to the circulation (market cap).

90% of these people also would have said bitcoin was a scam 9-15 months ago but now look at them.
Even 7 years ago, many have said kid.

They run around like fucking idiots screaming "BLOCKCHAAINN!!!", "DECENTRALISATIONNNN!!!".
Never seen them running and ranting that way.  ;D

add to the summary this sentence too: "i'm jealous of the early adopter because they trusted a project while i didn't care at all, and noe they're rich and i'm not BabyRage"

Seriously, why the hate? I'm not an early adopter for many things (one of them was not being able to access to a proper pc when this project was born, was working abroad), but for sure i don't hate them, i envy them for trusting something new while i could not.
Gets over it bruh, everything revolves around money, especially for the new adopters!

Just calm dude, they're not wrong about that. Everybody wants to be rich and that's normal. Anyone who mines or buy bitcoin would expect a profit, none of us want to be lose our money.
Those who have not understood the bitcoin concept as a whole make an impression that bitcoin is a money game, but at last they give a benefits to bitcoin as well. Many people end up with believing and use this cryptocoin, that's cool right?
I believe those people (the investors) -in the future- will learn about bitcoin and understand the concept. So I don't think they (investors) are bad, except the speculators.

I'd like to know what the OPs position is.. HODLing, trading, mining. I hope he's not making any money off of it because if he is, it sounds hypocritical.
Yes, the underlying idea is great and the innovations are great.
Look at Apple and Microsoft. They were kind of the anti-establishment, we can do this stuff better and we'll stay true to the goal and not be beholden to anyone.
Now look at those companies!
Bitcoin isn't anything more special than those companies are. They made the computers and software that became the reason why the internet and networks came to be in the capacity that they are now...on which crypto rides.

Get over yourself and grow up. It's fine to have a personal interest and passion around it. Just don't admonish and wish bad for people who are actually help advance the Bitcoin cause because they see the bigger picture than you.

Your statement is not backed by any research it's just your personal feelings that most likely don't represent reality. People discuss the price because it's representation of Bitcoin's value, so there's nothing wrong in getting excited when the value increases, it's an important step in becoming recognized as global currency and asset. And hodling Bitcoin is just as important as spending it - it drives the price higher by limiting supply, and higher price attracts more people to the community and boosts confidence that Bitcoin really is the future of money. Also, there's a good proof that investors do care about decentralization - centralized altcoin Bitcoin Cash has failed and SegWit2x is about to fail too, so people are sticking with decentralized bitcoin despite miners and businesses threatening to move on to alternative chains.

Cry from the heart. I can sympathize with you that 7 years ago you were not older, I would have changed everything like this if I had a time machine. But this can not be returned. As for your attitude to investors. All people want to earn, more accurately say 90% as you wrote, the rest 10% for happiness money is not needed. But I do not think you should blame them here. You will only take another step towards the popularity of the crypto currency, blockchain and decentralization with your hatred. That's all I wanted to say.

Unfortunately there are not many people who really understand what it is. But without investment market won't grow, so crypto technologies wont't develop. I'm sure that who wanna make easy and quick money will not be long in this market.

Most people that investing bitcoin now, are just investing to make money. It annoys the hell out of me. 90% of people haven't read the white paper! Don't even know why decentralisation is a good thing! Don't know why the blockchain is such a revolutionary invention! It annoys me so much! These people just invest because they want to "get rich quick".

And the annoying thing is that if someone had told me about bitcoin 6 years ago, I still would have put all of my money into it. Unfortunately I'm only 16 so I didn't know ANYONE (when I was 9) that would tell me about bitcoin. I only just heard of it 7 months ago and henceforth, have become OBSESSED with crypto. Now I've dropped out of school for crypto and it really does my nut in when all I hear is "Bitcoin to $10K!", "Bitcoin to $20k!".

Deep down I actually hope that the bubble (yes it is a mini-bubble) pops after the Segwit fork and that the price goes back down to $2k. That way all of these stupid investors can suck their thumbs and get taught a lesson. 90% of these people also would have said bitcoin was a scam 9-15 months ago but now look at them. They run around like fucking idiots screaming "BLOCKCHAAINN!!!", "DECENTRALISATIONNNN!!!".

Smh.

they can make money, but can they do it from scratch? Thank God for being in a forum like this, worth the gold,

If you're so into the whitepaper and the idea behind Bitcoin, why would you care if people left if the price falls? It's great that you're in it for the ideals, but it's also better for you in the long run that there are more users. More users means it's more universally accepted, and you might even be able to use it for daily purchases. I'm sure Satoshi would have approved. Not that he was against holding Bitcoin as far as we know.

You're correct in assuming that no less than 95% of people are using Bitcoin because they can make money off of it though. It's not a club though, so live and let live.

What's wrong in making money out of bitcoin? I bet 99% of the people in the world wants and needs money. So if they can make money from investing in bitcoin, who are you to tell them to f*ck off? So your 16 and you read the whitepaper and understand the technicality of bitcoin, that does not make you supreme over those who invested and have no technical knowledge over bitcoin. They'll learn it anyway as they continue to use bitcoin and engage the community.

I think currently most of the people see Bitcoin as an investment not a currency. Almost nobody wants to pay something with Bitcoin, because the Bitcoin price is so volatile. Why should i buy somehting for 1 Bitcoin (~7'000 USD), when I can buy the same thing in 2 weeks for 0.5 Bitcoin? As long as the price is getting higher so fast, the willingsness to use Bitcoin as a currency is really low.

But does everyone that uses invests in Bitcoin have to understand how Bitcoin works and what the initial idea was? I don't think so. I daily use so many things I don't really understand the mechanism behind it. I think it's just important for all crypto currencies and the blockchain, that more and more people get interested and at leasst get a basic understanding of the advantages of the technology.

well depend on what preferences they have when decided to invest bitcoin we can blame them man. I guess we just hope maybe the price will down for awhile so we can be the next investor, IMO or maybe we hold not to buy btc if we know like this because investor make the rate as high as now. be frankly if the price back to 2000k will you buy with huge amount and still hope the price stable at 2000k after that? of course not right. you will begin to think like investor,then.

There is no doubt the blockchain is maybe the most innovative thing in the history of economy so far. But I think it is not logic that, blaming the people because of their desires to earn money. This is the human nature and the most percentege of the coin traders are always aiming to make more profit by using the cryptocurrencies.

I think you're making assumptions here. How do you know 90% of investors just want to make profits? what makes you think they don't believe in Bitcoin as a decentralized system for payments or an asset to invest in? Instead of jumping into conclusions with your immature personal feelings, why don't backup your words with an actual source, analysis and data.

And how is that a bad thing to Bitcoin? if people are throwing money at what they think is good a invesment, wouldn't that actually help Bitcoin to pump the price? who cares what other people do with their money? who cares if they want to get rich? what they're doing is actually good for BTC: to go mainstream, mass-adoption, Bitcoin as a payment method, etc.
Seriously kid, this rant makes you sound like you're just jealous that you won't be able to get rich like those people will be in the future.
 
Also, did you actually dropped out of school for crypto or this is just trolling? because if you did, that's a BIG mistake, you're going to regret that decision for the rest of your life. Also, if you didn't finish school, aren't you doing the same thing as those people? putting your hopes and dreams in a cryptocurrency? what makes you so different?

Do youself a favor and go back to school, you don't wanna end up living under a bridge.

Rome was not built overnight, democracy was not achieved overnight, racial equality was not achieved overnight. Infact, I would say that even now democracy and racial equality have not been truly attained in most of the world. Fiscal freedom will also not happen overnight.

In our evolution as a race, we've made a lot of mistakes in every facet of our lives and gradually integrated them into our collective consciousness as the status quo. Having accepted these mistakes as the norm for generations upon generations, we've ourselves created a resistance to change often too great to overcome. Hence, revolutions become so much harder to actuate.

Blockchain is revolutionary but there is no revolution as yet. As long as we have internet, it cannot be quelled but it will take time for a lot of people to come around to the idea. Most of our world is used to being told what to do, being told what is right from mainstream mass media. This is just our cross to bear.

Blockchain revolution needs a selfless and suasive leader, an impassioned orator like Gandhi or MLK to inspire and enlighten the masses. Only then, this revolution can be set in motion.

I completely understand your frustration, and I am sad to say I can relate. Unfortunately people that have come to the cryptocurrency space recently only care about money. The don't give a f** about the revolution or the tech. That makes me very sad myself. Cryptocurrency has become 90% speculation and 10% tech. All I want to say is that don't give up.

Well, you just can't feel hate to investors because it's their money they tend to do what makes them get profits in any ways.
The less Bitcoin circulated is the more high value because Bitcoin is still the intangible thing in the world that is the most expensive.
Getting and earning Bitcoin is very hard this days so investors are still keeping their money just to make profit and wait a longer time until maybe Bitcoin will drop continually.

Dont worry its not only you who was curious about investing the money into bitcoin back 6 years ago. Now is the time which is running and you should make your decision depending on this situation and not the one which was ages ago. Bitcoin is developing fast and the popularity for it is growing very very fast which means another lot of investor will pump the bitcoin prices to the sky. If this continues to next two to fives years then I bet you that bitcoin price would be 50K and can be higher. Its rate of growing is really growing year after year and thats why its best of all while making investment. So you won’t be regretful after few years from now as you can still choose to invest into it.

I won't blame those investors you mention, because i don't think they're wrong. People have their own reasons and conditions, you can't just judge it like that.

It would really be annoying that people takes something that is valuable to us so shallowly. That they just go with the bandwagon and sees only the tip instead of the whole. I also understand you being annoyed by those skeptics before but have transitioned into bitcoin users and even investors now. But I don't know, man. I think that mere reading "Bitcoin to $10k" or "Bitcoin to $20k" is enough to say that these people who say these things do not know anything about bitcoin. It also doesn't say that they haven't read the white paper. We cannot tell. I mean, I just want to give the benefit of the doubt that these people actually are just expressing their enthusiam about bitcoin's massive price increase. And for the skeptics before, they just experienced a slower time adapting and understanding this technology. Good for you that you are an early adapter. You are young with many years ahead of you. Hope you would go forward enjoying that fact.

A typical teenager that is hating somebody that is helping the such as those investors. Agreed, the he better go back to school and learn some stuffs about how things work.
Every investors of bitcoin could really just wanted to make money out of bitcoin but there's nothing wrong with it and we can't do anything about it since it's their money and they decides where to put it.
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency so it's all about the money and who cares about the whitepaper if you can understand how things work on bitcoin. It's just like those terms and conditions that we don't read and skip and continue doing what we came for.

Even the creator wanted it to happen so who cares if they just wanted to take advantage of the price growth of bitcoin just to earn money. As long as, you're earning money legal it's okay or fine. Anyway, investors even helps us on bitcoin community since all of the investors has part on bitcoin and helps increase it's value and the population of users of bitcoin.

Most people that investing bitcoin now, are just investing to make money. It annoys the hell out of me. 90% of people haven't read the white paper! Don't even know why decentralisation is a good thing! Don't know why the blockchain is such a revolutionary invention! It annoys me so much! These people just invest because they want to "get rich quick".

And the annoying thing is that if someone had told me about bitcoin 6 years ago, I still would have put all of my money into it. Unfortunately I'm only 16 so I didn't know ANYONE (when I was 9) that would tell me about bitcoin. I only just heard of it 7 months ago and henceforth, have become OBSESSED with crypto. Now I've dropped out of school for crypto and it really does my nut in when all I hear is "Bitcoin to $10K!", "Bitcoin to $20k!".

Deep down I actually hope that the bubble (yes it is a mini-bubble) pops after the Segwit fork and that the price goes back down to $2k. That way all of these stupid investors can suck their thumbs and get taught a lesson. 90% of these people also would have said bitcoin was a scam 9-15 months ago but now look at them. They run around like fucking idiots screaming "BLOCKCHAAINN!!!", "DECENTRALISATIONNNN!!!".

Smh.

You should enroll in a lesson or try self-study then.
Dropping out of school at this  young age is a very dangerous idea unless you plan to continue studying at home. Hating people for no good reason is why you should never have left school this early. Little knowledge kind of make most kids narrow-minded and rude.

You should focus on self development. Read read and read books or start attending a lesson. Don't let business be your primary focus now.

Don't pursue anything in an instant dude I'm sure it tickles around on the part of your head, but don't hesitate on the upsurge of btc there's always a kind way to put it into down trade btc surely will go down somewhat so wait for that opportunity and take this advice of me.

Maybe thats the reason, your still 16 and dont understand how important money really is, YET.
Of course bitcoin is a investment, why else would anybody invest into bitcoin.
Im sure 100% of investors or holders of bitcoins want to see gains or profits.
If your investing into crypto because of passion, do that with your time and not invest real funds. But im guessing you wouldnt work your whole life developing or programming without gettinf paid also.

The price actually needs to stay up to support the concept for the long term. We need "investors" to keep coming whether they fully understand the concept or not because this will not let the "value" diminish out of the hearts of those 90% investors whom you hate, that's because the value is what's keeping us all together. Read these words 100 times: WE ARE NOT USING BITCOINS AS MONEY CURRENTLY, WE ARE TRADING/BETTING OUR MONEY ON IT.
That's the reason most people are here, and there's nothing wrong with coming up with their own speculated levels because we are free to say anything, but the truth will be told by markets only.

gets worth a lot of $$$ then a lot of $$$ is going to come flying into the arena. Especially when you are in a such an asset class that has created a brand new market you know there will be people who are vying for power

This is rightly said because every one as a choice depending upon their choice. Whether they want to invest or way to use it for buy product or services.

Right. I agree 100% with people investing in the opportunities that bitcoin brings, such as, the growing economy (NOT the increasing price) surrounding it. But here is what I am saying; very few investors are actually investing in the opportunities or the technology of bitcoin - They are simply investing to "get rich quick" or following the hype because their friend down the road made a couple of $'s. THIS is what I disagree with and I think that it is a problem because I am beginning to realise that this is where the majority of new investments, over the course of the previous months, are coming from.

But I tell you this. After a while, when the time that you are already mastered everything here you will have so much time. And guess what? You dont want to go back to school because you have the power to create money now.
You should've stayed there instead of ranting here. Money is money and everybody wants it for a better life for themselves or for their kids which are in school just like you.

Your argument does make sense. So many stores in my city are already accepting bitcoin as an alternative source of payment which makes me very happy. Some stores even accept ethereum and litecoin which I was pleasantly surprised about. I also agree that the op is wrong when it comes to insulting certain investors who are simply trying out the crypto market and honestly, more the merrier. I do realize that there are some people who simply want to get rich quickly, but that is ok as long as they are not scamming anyone to achieve that purpose.

Man, this goes beyond greed. Human beings are interested in comfort and utility. I'm sure with time you too would understand. If bitcoin is a source of wealth as an investment, why shouldn't people key into it? The concept of decentralization will still be appreciated by those 90% if they see the utility. Just like mobile phone is everyday utility today, if the decentralization bitcoin offers is something people deem useful, I bet you most wouldn't abandon it because there's no more money to be made.

Greed will be the downfall of this movement.

Nah. At worst, it will be the downfall of the people being taken over by their greed, because in most cases it never ends well. Greedy people are mostly very short term minded, which basically means that they in most cases sell too early and buy back at higher levels, or they end up selling their coins in panic and keep waiting for the price to fall down, but where it doesn't and they miss out. In easy terms, there is a very high probability that they end up losing in the long term. At the end of the day, whatever they do will just have an impact on them alone -- this market just moves over these people like they don't exist.

100% investors do their invests couse of money. There is no 90 or 95%, all of them want profit. The point is that really not all of investers get deeply into the project, here it is bitcoin, and what's the problem with that? People get their target and I think it is the most important part.

Another bad thing though is that the people who have been involved in the past several years that felt like they missed out on buying Bitcoin early are investing into altcoins so I feel like that's where most of the speculation is going right now.

The far majority of the people started out with having just the intention of making money as main motive. It's all their own choice, and I personally don't see anything wrong with them just looking to bank on Bitcoin.

If they at some point get to develop a better form of Bitcoin understanding, they will start to appreciate its decentralized aspects and other functionalities as well ~ let them figure that out whenever they are ready for it.

People see news articles pop up that Bitcoin made an 18 year old school dropout millionaire, or that x person found an old wallet file with 10K BTC, and is now a multi millionaire by status, and the list goes on ~ just move on.

I understand what OP is saying because it kind of annoys me as well. I'm not against anyone that wants to make money with bitcoin. I would like to have some profit as well, but that is not the main reason why I like bitcoin. If I knew that the price wouldn't increase any further, I would still buy it for use. The problem is, that since most investors in BTC are just in it for the increase of price, chances are, that as soon as bitcoin stabilizes, they will probably just sell it for cash, instead of using it as a currency.

Of course that bitcoin still has a long way to go before it can fulfill it's potencial as a decentralized currency, because right now the network just can't handle a big number of transactions per second, and without that, it's impossible to use it for daily payments. So I hope, than when BTC gets that problem solved, people will start seeing that the best thing about BTC is not the price, but its practical use.

Why does it matter if they haven't read the whitepaper or don't care or know anything about decentralization?
The fact that these people are using Bitcoin should be enough, no?

Most of us want mass-adoption, it's a bit silly to expect everyone who buys Bitcoin to first read the whitepaper and know of all technical aspects.

Well everyone wants to make money 95% of the users are here to make extra money and learn more about coins as well. Nobody would do something for bitcoin if you didn't get money.

So calm down. Some users are here also for hobby and they get extra money.

No! The point was never to "make money". The point was to revolutionise the way in which we represent a medium of exchange and providing a new, secure way in which it can be done without a third intermediary.

If your only here to make money then I politely ask for you to fuck off. Because in the long-run, if you stop making money, we all know that 100% of that 90% would leave without a second thought. They don't give two cents about what bitcoin represents or how it is so game-changing. Purely here because of greed.
You're in no place to tell anyone to 'fuck off', you don't get to decide why someone should or shouldn't use Bitcoin. You sound very elitist tbh and I disagree with your notion that the Bitcoin community should be some elite club of people who are only in it because of ideological reasons.

These people aren't using it because they wan't to make payments etc. They are just buying it to make money; Therein lies the problem. They are not "adopting" bitcoin, they are using it to try and make a quick buck. Honestly, I think bitcoin is massively overvalued - About 1% of merchants accept it. Unless this new money keeps on flowing in or, bitcoin gets accepted by Amazon, eBay or another mainstream commerce company in the near future, the music is going to stop and with it, the price.

By all means, if you are buying bitcoin to purchase a car, make an over-seas transaction or, use it for gambling then go ahead. In fact it is 100% beneficial for the ecosystem to do so. Because at least then, you are using bitcoin for it's intended purpose; As a medium of exchange.

What do you think happens when people make payments with Bitcoin? Most businesses accepting Bitcoin will just exchange those Bitcoins directly for fiat once they receive them (Overstock is an exception).
People who are using Bitcoin as a long term investment aren't doing anything wrong and I also don't see how it hurts Bitcoin. People also use fiat currency for investment, people also save massive amounts of fiat currency without using it.

Ideally, I'd like to see even more investors get into Bitcoin, raise the marketcap and perhaps make it a bit less volatile in the future.
Bitcoin is just too volatile to be used as a means of exchange for most people.

Imagine getting your paycheck in Bitcoin and the next day you've just lost a couple of hundred dollars, now you're short for paying your bills etc.

If s business is clever enough to be making a lot of money then they clever enough not to sell of all their Bitcoin to fist when they can make a whole bunch more without putting in the work. I don't actually understand what the OP problem is and I don't think he understands Bitcoin or currency. Bitcoin is a currency so it already is money. It's just one that's going up in value because it uses new technology that works so well. So I'm not sure what is wrong with keeping currency. I use Bitcoin to buy things why would I use fiat?

Mos the people that used the internet in the late 1990s did so for email and hanging out in shitty chat rooms on AOL. Most people didn't appreciate what the internet meant in terms of shared information, how it mad information and knowledge more accessible and free, how it would change the world.

Did that stop the internet? No.

Will current speculators stop bitcoin or crypto currency? No.

It's OK that people get involved for narrow or shallow or selfish reasons. We still all gain when someone new decides to buy some bitcoin. The network gets stronger.

Sorry you're wrong not like that the struggle of the investor is very heavy against their own passions and they occasionally do adoption without you know,they also want to develop BTC with adoption one of them.What do you know about investor that wrong sorry,all old investor need struggle not easy for them immediately get the most out.

I really sad you left from school for cryptos. Investing in cryptos makes ROI.  But not in 100%. Will you invest for bitcoin, it will send you ROI when it reached top because limited supply. Hope you will return you school and got through school age correctly.

Bitcoin attracts a lot of investors because is expensive and the price is rising, but it doesn't mean that everyone never uses it and just bought for long-term investment. I used bitcoins first time on Silk Road, the second was Ebay. Why Silk Road? That time I didn't know there was a way to spend BTC on eBay, once I learned how to use bitcoins I used it on eBay and buy some stuff.

You can't blame newcomers that they just buy and get excited about it. Everyone had that moment when first rime hard about Bitcoin.

I don't think that anybody who joined the bitcoin wanted something with its descentralization or blockchain thing. I don't know anybody who didnt make some profit with bitcoin, and with the altcoins growing each day more, this is a good chance to be rich or even have a decent incoming, with good earning and I don't see the problem with that. Bitcoin can't solve all the problems, that's why we have a lot of altcoins.

I did...

Most people that investing bitcoin now, are just investing to make money. It annoys the hell out of me. 90% of people haven't read the white paper! Don't even know why decentralisation is a good thing! Don't know why the blockchain is such a revolutionary invention! It annoys me so much! These people just invest because they want to "get rich quick".

And the annoying thing is that if someone had told me about bitcoin 6 years ago, I still would have put all of my money into it. Unfortunately I'm only 16 so I didn't know ANYONE (when I was 9) that would tell me about bitcoin. I only just heard of it 7 months ago and henceforth, have become OBSESSED with crypto. Now I've dropped out of school for crypto and it really does my nut in when all I hear is "Bitcoin to $10K!", "Bitcoin to $20k!".

Deep down I actually hope that the bubble (yes it is a mini-bubble) pops after the Segwit fork and that the price goes back down to $2k. That way all of these stupid investors can suck their thumbs and get taught a lesson. 90% of these people also would have said bitcoin was a scam 9-15 months ago but now look at them. They run around like fucking idiots screaming "BLOCKCHAAINN!!!", "DECENTRALISATIONNNN!!!".

Smh.

Rant over.

I completely understand your frustration, and I am sad to say I can relate. Unfortunately people that have come to the cryptocurrency space recently only care about money. The don't give a f** about the revolution or the tech. That makes me very sad myself. Cryptocurrency has become 90% speculation and 10% tech. All I want to say is that don't give up. Let's continue educating the masses, one person at a time. I must say, for a person your age. You are very quite mature.

Thanks. So far nobody has even asked why I specifically dropped out of school; I dropped out because everyone I talked to including, my teachers, my friends and even strangers (my school was very large) all laughed at me every time I tried to talk about crypto. I couldn't focus in class because all that was on my mind was blockchain, decentralisation and the revolution that is, LITERALLY, just around the corner. Eventually, I just said "fuck it" and left.

Now I'm designing my own blockchain protocol (NOT A TOKEN and I won't say what, in case someone steals my idea lol) but I am making pretty good progress and have already made a decent amount of money off the hype in crypto - Ironic and slightly hypocritical I know but it still doesn't make me wrong and unless the hype begins to calm down soon after the Segwit fork, we are all screwed.

Personally, I think that it will be then, that there will be a HUGE dip. If that doesn't happen then the much larger dip that is inevitably coming in the longer term, is going to be devastating. The reason that I am annoyed is because, the dip is going to put every single cryptocurrency in a massively bad light. The higher and faster the price rises, the more likely it is to come crashing down. In my opinion (albeit quite subjective), it is much better for bitcoin to grow in a slower, steadier manner.

That is amazing. You will do great. Contrary to popular belief, school is not all that. I know you are still young so most people will try to push you towards it. But if you are an above average IQ individual you know, its a waste of time. Unfortunately the world and certainly this forum is full of below average IQ individuals(read the comments). My advice is, do not be discouraged. Do not lose focus of your goals and dreams. I have met many 15 year olds that do amazing things. Do you know the 15year old that successfully hacked Trezor? Follow him on Twitter. Psychologists say we are the 5 people we are always surrounded with. So chose your circles very closely, stay out of trouble and the sky won't be the limit. I wish you all the best kid. And good luck with your blockchain!

A high IQ does not guarantee success. You can have a high IQ and still be naïve about how the world works. In reality, most people that drop out of school are going to struggle. Even with a genius IQ there aren't very many options to get a job. A lot of employers like to hire people with a college education. Without a college education a lot of doors will be closed to you. Without a high school diploma it is even worse. Regardless of whether you are smart or not, employers are going to want someone with a degree or experience. It is going to be an uphill battle to get experience, because in order to get that you have to hope someone takes a chance on you.

Chances are OP is going to have to work in a factory to stay afloat, possibly even two jobs. Another option is for OP to become some sort of Entrepreneur, but sometimes this doesn't work out. In order to create a good business you need to establish a good customer base which requires great skills with working with other people. There is also the chance that Bitcoin becomes really big or OP finds some way to amass a huge amount of money, but these stories are a minority.

You always see Hollywood movies where people struggle and struggle. Eventually they hit their big break and reach success. In real life there are a lot of stories of people who have struggled and never have hit such success. You need to keep things into perspective. Keep your options open.

OP, I understand that school can seem pointless at times. Sometimes it is frustrating when you spend so much time in class learning something that you feel you can learn on your own in 1/10th of the time or even less. Unfortunately, it is the way the system is built in this world. The best way to keep your options open is to at least finish high school. The system sucks, but fighting it sucks even more!

I'm suspecting that maybe you've experienced some bullying in school and it is probably repulsive imagining yourself going back and having to deal with the embarrassment that you quit and then changed your mind. I really think this is the best option for you though and you should seriously consider it.

I've learned that in order to make it far in this world you have to have good connections with other people. Having great relationships with the right people trumps intelligence nearly every time.

As someone who has very high intelligence myself, I did not reach an exceedingly prosperous lifestyle that I thought I would achieve. 2013, was the most depressing year of my entire life, because that is when reality sunk in that the world was not what I thought it was.

That's right, A high IQ means little to nothing is this world, it's become some kind of novelty.
IQ only "counts" or "scales" how intelligent your are, not how successful.

Intelligence alone won't solve all your problems and it might even have some drawbacks.
If you struggle in a poor corrupt country the thought of your life going away with nothing to show due to stupid fuckwits around you will lead in most cases to mental issues.
Imagine knowing you're smart, and getting tossed aside by morons. Giordano Bruno style.

And intelligence won't mean you will be able to work in a team, it doesn't give you leadership capabilities and most times people with high IQ are lone wolfes.

As for the career of dropouts with high iq it's quite normal that companies avoid them.
When you're a dropout it shows you are either having problems integrating yourself in the society or you lack morale or determination to finish something.
A company must run like a good machine nobody will risk putting there an element which might not be compatible with the rest.

The success stories of college dropouts can be counted easily but even they had some level of education.
Quitting while in high school...that's too extreme.

I wouldnt recommend dropping out of school because your peers or teacher is not interested in crypto or blockchain talk. I mean if you have that much passion for the blockchain technology side, why not channel all that passion and energy into studying IT, techy stuff, or programming? My apology im not techy myself.
But you get my point. Stay in school! Fuk what people around u that dont care about crypto and get your education! Do you have any programming knowledge?

Im sure you will unlock alot of potential with that passion of yours, and hope to see you down the road as one of the great blockchain developers that will create something great for all us crypto heads!.

Dont get mad kiddo. If you're mad at them, you're maybe one of them right? You're fortunate cause you already understand whats behind the technology. Just go on and go back to school. Education is more valuable than bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies existing. You still have more years to go.

So,actually you are worrying about what? Do you really feel sad that people just use bitcoin as a quick rich investment or since you have missed the train due to its high price now?

Its true that lots of investors now actually don't know anything about bitcoin.They just invest in it since its price is rapidly increasing.They would not truly contribute for bitcoin progress.Even if they notice a slight fall i price,immediately they would rush to sell it making bitcoin price unstable.

But still,i hope that $2,000 is not possible here after.So,don't wait expecting such a huge fll to buy.Just buy it whe its price falls a little before segwit 2x activation or else,you may miss the train forever.

we really can't prevent anyone from thinking that bitcoin is just like any other form of investment.
it is up to them what they want to do with their coins.
though, i will be very glad to know that they will also have the initiative to learn more about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.
because we can't deny the fact that some of us who are engaged in bitcoin is just here to make money.
they wouldn't even know how to explain what is blockchain.
and i believe this is one of the hindrance why bitcoin is not yet being widely use around the globe.
investors doesn't promote it because they do not know how to promote it.

Yeah, I agree with you. Most of the investors now don't have enough knowledge and skills. They just want to get rich fast. This makes Bitcoin become a bubble.

We’re all entitled to our own opinions and I respect yours OP. It’s true that a lot of investors with this kind of mindset has popped up and we can’t do anything to avoid it because everyone has their own selfish and greedy intentions. I think that in the long run, they won’t be able to achieve their goal of getting rich fast because there’s no way of doing that, even with bitcoin. They must learn first and have some perserverance because there are no shortcuts in life.

There is no doubt the Blockchain tech is maybe the most innovative thing in the history of economy so far. But I think it is not logic that, blaming the people because of their desires to earn money. This is the human nature and the most percentege of the coin traders are always aiming to make more profit by using the cryptocurrencies.

I can't stand bitcoiners on this forum, but not necessarily in general.  One of the good things about bitcoin is that everyone is chasing the same thing, worldwide.  That's not the case with US dollars, beanie babies, or a lot of other things, and it's the reason why we're above $8000 right now. 

Even the scummy shitposters are chasing the same bitcoin--and that part of it I can appreciate.  Though I wish at least 75% of them would drop off the face of the earth, they do contribute to the economy.  That's a good thing.  I just wish they'd stick to the local boards and leave the rest of us who can communicate properly alone.

Then there's the scammers.  I realize they exist with every asset, but it seems as though bitcoin attracts a disproportionate amount of them.  That might not be exactly true, but it seems that way.

the most percentege of the coin traders are always aiming to make more profit by using the cryptocurrencies.
Indeed. I am quite sure that people's overall understanding and appreciation of Bitcoin's technological aspects are growing, but there is no point into discarding the fact that people see it as a speculative investment option.

If that wasn't the case, this market would attract far less interest, and directly far less capital. Institutions are a great example of that, they don't care about Bitcoin, but are more than ever tempted to enter this market.

At the end of the day, everyone is free to use Bitcoin as an investment option, currency, store of value, and so forth. For that reason I don't get why people are bothered by how others use or think about Bitcoin ~ mind your own business.

well kid, if there's no people like them, the bitcoin will not reach it current state now, Be thankful to them because now, bitcoin will now reach  in $7000. Even though they don't know about the bitcoin capability, they still believe on what bitcoin can do.

Bitcoin as of right now is classified as an investment with the hopes of being a global world wide currency with only 21 million in circulation to be shared with 7 plus billion people.  So can you imagine if the only currency people can spend is bitcoin?  That would mean each bitcoin could be worth 1 million plus dollars eventually.  So yeah, people do invest in bitcoin to make money!

Don't wish ill on people bud, yes you want it to crash but don't wish harm on anybody. Yes many people on here are greedy and some even cocky/arrogant, but many on here are also just people trying to make a living for themselves, don't tar all with the same brush, and even if people are greedy, thats their free will.

Don't wish ill on another, did you miss out?

Yeah I am just here for the money. As soon as bitcoin drops I will be there with cash in hand to buy it's competitors.
Lost a few bitcoins back in the days by being stupid with them so now I am simply here to make money and enjoy my life. I am not here to lead the revolution against the corrupt fiat system.

Maybe I hate some Bitcoin investors because they complain too much. People who do not really know about Bitcoin will hesitate, and often ask about the rise and fall in prices of Bitcoin. But actually their complaints have no effect on our lives. So I tend not to think too much about all those complaints. I am more alert and afraid if many people know Bitcoin every day. I'm afraid if later when many people who Bitcoin, later collect Bitcoin become increasingly difficult. I'm also afraid that when more people are investing in Bitcoin, Bitcoin will have trouble. Hopefully it does not happen and I can still continue my investment with Bitcoin.

everyone has its own reason why they are doing it. as what you said they just invest to make money that is right and it is up to them what to do with their life and you should just mind your own business.

Maybe you do not know much about market transactions. Instead, you can promote the development and growth of bitcoin through more prosperous market transactions. More investors will make more people know and understand the power of bitcoin. Therefore, I Feel the deal is good

I think the only reason can be that the investor keep on hold bitcoin for a long time but I think it’s important to do so because when you come to know that bitcoin price is low and then you buy bitcoin so definitely you will have to wait for the right time and when the right time come so you will sell your bitcoin and then I think you can take your profit.

Why you care about other bitcoin investor? You should think about your personal investing choice and make sure you do the right decision. There's a lot of people that works and dont have a lot of time to get informated about bitcoin so they just invest and watch their money grow.

The goal for investing was always to make the money. The difference is maybe that previous investors in Bitcoin were more interested in Bitcoin itself, they were more enthusiasts and many of todays investors are interested in profit and profit only without any knowledge about Bitcoin and I would say about the philosophy that Bitcoin represents.

Most people that investing bitcoin now, are just investing to make money. It annoys the hell out of me. 90% of people haven't read the white paper! Don't even know why decentralisation is a good thing! Don't know why the blockchain is such a revolutionary invention! It annoys me so much! These people just invest because they want to "get rich quick".

And the annoying thing is that if someone had told me about bitcoin 6 years ago, I still would have put all of my money into it. Unfortunately I'm only 16 so I didn't know ANYONE (when I was 9) that would tell me about bitcoin. I only just heard of it 7 months ago and henceforth, have become OBSESSED with crypto. Now I've dropped out of school for crypto and it really does my nut in when all I hear is "Bitcoin to $10K!", "Bitcoin to $20k!".

Deep down I actually hope that the bubble (yes it is a mini-bubble) pops after the Segwit fork and that the price goes back down to $2k. That way all of these stupid investors can suck their thumbs and get taught a lesson. 90% of these people also would have said bitcoin was a scam 9-15 months ago but now look at them. They run around like fucking idiots screaming "BLOCKCHAAINN!!!", "DECENTRALISATIONNNN!!!".

Smh.

Rant over.
You're not the only one who is getting pissed off with a majority of the people who are flooding into Bitcoin now, and I get even angrier when I look at the market and see that the price isn't going up because people actually think that Bitcoin is a groundbreaking technology or it has value beyond being a token, it's going up because money is being pushed in because "Oh look the value is bigger now! Better dump more in!". It's a bunch of retarded investors who would never be able to hack it in most marketplaces and instead are surrounded by people who pretend to be retarded to get everyone push the value to go up, and then believe they're in good company.

I have money in Bitcoin, I am getting appreciations on my investments, I'm not some angry no-coiner. I'm mad that the market has no idea what it is doing and we're just stacking ourselves up for a bubble which is bound to pop as soon as some sweeping uncertainty rolls around.

investors are of two types long term investors and short term investors, Long term investors hold bitcoin for a long time and seeking big profit, why short term investors rely on small profit and do rapid trading on daily bases, i think long term investment is good and more safe than short term investment, where we have more chances to lose our money. People always trying to buy bitcoin at low price and then hold it for a long time to get good profit.

All of us are here for money. Different people use different method to earn money. I don't judge anyone's method. I myself am searching ways to make money here. I can also choose to invest in bitcoin.But honestly there is no evil way. Everyone earns more money to use dishonest ways. So hate it.  >:(

to be honest, a lot of us from earlier were here for a cash grab as well, we just had a bit more faith as the price wasnt up up up like this.  the issue with the mindset of some of the newer community members is they are primed for uptrend forever; it has not crossed their minds that the price floor could be 20-50% under their purchases price ;)

i dont want to see the lil bros get wiped out value wise. like last time, the forum will collectively be sour during a major contraction/downtrend.


the cheerleading is what gets to me. its corny, dudes are like "bitcoin is perfect!" or "I always hold bitcoin til I die without spending!". the enthusiasm almost seems unauthentic. bitcoin pisses me off most days LOL, i hate people being blind

I would say that dropping out of school to enter crypto is the dumbest thing you did in your life,you are a kid and behave like one,education is more important in life and these sort of things wont last long and even if you want to be an investor you need to have money,how come you are going to raise money without any education in the first place.

Someone is butthurt here :D FYI that 90% of bitcoin investors you were talking about are from poor countries, they invest everything they have, An amount from $20 and $200 and they wish for the price to reach $1,000,000 for their money to increase by 100X to have $2000 or $20,000. What I want from bitcoin is defeating central banks of the most powerful countries. Restoring power and give it back to the people. We are supporting bitcoin, Every war needs soldiers, We are sh*tposting :D To bore them, Making it hard for their shills to alter our faith.

There is no doubt the blockchain is maybe the most innovative thing in the history of economy so far. But I think it is not logic that, blaming the people because of their desires to earn money. This is the human nature and the most percentege of the coin traders are always aiming to make more profit by using the cryptocurrencies.
Not the human nature but need of today. To live better you have to earn more. In some regular jobs the salary is not that much to meet the financial needs and do some savings, so for this purpose they do part time jobs or invest in bitcoin because it is the easiest and quick method of earning money and help in securing future. So it’s a way rude to hate them for working hard so to earn some extra money with their regular job.

Yes, there are investors who are so hard to deal with and sometimes would leave other investors a little annoyed. But, you could look at it in a different perspective just let it go. Also you're quite young, why not finish your education while you're active in the community?
