IMO a true believer would not use BTC to accumulate the unbacked paper "fiat" that bitcoin was made to replace.. doing soo is simply being greedy, a lot who set out to revolutionize the financial system have simply become bankers and stock traders.. we cannot defeat the traditional financial system or replace it.. i'm starting to believe banks may have initially started out to help people.. just like crypto did.. but human greed drove them into the unethical behavior they do today and that is exactly what is starting to happen in the cryptosphere.. i understand why people told me that the freedom i was thinking of will never be achieved.. the technology is perfect.. its human error that flaws every system...

to keep it short.. ETH can be replaced (and probably will be) by EOS, ADA, WAN and many others... BTC is king, BTC is gold... you should buy other coins because they will help you accumulate BTC (BTC is your wealth, your other coins are your investments)

I have heard this soo often, even people saying I just got lucky, at some point i believed it, sure luck has something to do with it but that is not why bitcoin millionaires became millionaires... the true reason of why they deserve it is because of faith.. i remember people telling me I was crazy back in 2011 talking about bitcoin...  the reason anyone who invested back then is a millionaire is because they saw something you couldnt see, we saw potential in such technology and despite all odds and criticism believed.... this payout is a reward for years of being looked at like a lunatic.


A bitcoinaire is one who was able to see past "digital currency to fund the dark web" headlines and understand the true potential of the tech before it was "cool" to do so

once upon a time the world was soo hard to access, each nation existed on its own, with time as we learned to sail the seas trade routes developed and we became able to trade with one another. the years passed by and one day planes were invented and the world became even more accessible then cam the internet and borders no longer meant anything information was accessible by anyone anywhere, push forward to todys world where companies are no longer defined by geographical boundaries. globalization is a real thing and its happening, your Macbook you bought in Australia made by an American company by Chinese hands using parts from all across the globe.  One world one currency has been a dream for many and would probably be benificial for all of us, the question is not "is it possible" the real question is "When?"....

Can we survive without the internet? yes of course we can, its just a world I wouldn't want to live in...

Bitcoin per say may not harm us much if it didn't exist it could easily be replaced with another currency (not that I would like that to happen) however the underlying technology will, after seeing what this technology can do to better our lives I dont think it will be easy to forget.

crypto is here to stay....

I was in a World of Warcraft IRC chat.. back in 2011.. was told about this magic currency I can create at home and use on this crazy thing called silkroad... that chat changed my life forever... to be honest it wasn't the money it was the idea of decentralization i fell in love with...

I agree completely, I am currently in the process of getting a professor to supervise me while I do a PHD based on crypto economics, as a part of my suggestion to the university was that I can tutor classes on the fundamentals of crypto and why we need it? how to scale it? at the end of the day if we are realizing this is the future and for us to be able to implement and scale this technology we need the young minds to absorb this technology and critically evaluate and help improve it for the future.

Education is key and when something as great as this comes along the first thing we must do before we focus on making money is educate ourselves, we are lucky enough to get to witness the financial revolutions, we should seize this golden opportunity.
