Letter from a former bitcoin lover

[yayayo]

first few paragraphs
satoshi doesnt need to be known because satishi is not a leader, nor is he advocating anything. he just supplied a tool and WE THE PEOPLE advocate how WE want to use it.

We don't even HAVE a name for the people who invented the hammer, the axe, the saw, the screwdriver, fire < well there's legends.

...but we do know who invented the hydrogen bomb....

I'm supportive of critical evaluation of Bitcoin. However Op does not provide any reasonable arguments.

In fact the arguments are so weak that they are even supportive of Bitcoin by portraying Bitcoin critics as resorting to propaganda style because they are incapable of bringing up something tangible...

ya.ya.yo!

...but we do know who invented the hydrogen bomb....

Oh yes, that's very confidence building, I'll have to find ways to use it more in my daily life.... I do have that awkward stump in the back yard...

it doesnt matter who has how many bitcoins, if you were rich and had hundreds of thousands you wouldnt be shouting the same speach, i understand selfishness of man always wants what others have and that most will complain when they have less.. put simply if you want it, do something. dont bitch and moan.

thirdly
by your comparison of bitcoin to a dollar fiscal value, shows your limited understanding of bitcoin and the fact that your purchase was only in the intention of buying at $1200 to sell at $10k. if you wish to be one of the golden hoarders, the price and fiat value would be meaningless to you and you would be hoarding bitcoins for the multiple other reasons bitcoins exist. never to sell bitcoins on an exchange for fiat profit

fourthly
the 7k node tally is not the world collection of bitcoiners. it is simply the small corner of the globe that has nodes with direct connections to the node listing website. i and atleast 20 other people in my circle of communications are not listed on that list eventhough i/we bitcoin-core. thus that 7k is a useless number in regards to estimating anything.

fifthly
good idea to close our computer, stop selling coins on exchanges and stop looking at the crappy exchanges (i agree they are crap) instead lock your coins away in paper wallets and leave it as your retirement present.

basically if people were allowed to personally withdraw and mess around with their own personal pensions anytime they liked, they would not have anything left by the time they reached retirement age. so do not sell at a loss. you only lose!

always a good response from you

I think I have seen several similar threads in the past.

It is AMAZING how many seemingly stupid people got into Bitcoins. What did you idiots just wake up one day and say "Oh yeaaaa Im gonna start trading Bitoin today" I see so many angry people who bought high and expected to sell higher. Thats would be like a wallstreet man waking up one day and picking up a welder and expecting to weld a 14 story building skeleton. Its just not going to happen and most likely before he got to the top the damn thing would fall over. I wish people would have had a 1 % grasp on trading currencies before they got into this, However idiots like them made a whole lot of bitcoin lovers either rich with cash or rich with filled Bitcoin wallets.

Its the same stupid story over and over to especially those who got spanked by MTGOX, "Ok so I got this wallet and like bought 20,000 dollars of this new currency and wow bro like the next day it was gone, so then I went to the exchange and paid double the price for more of this new currency and now like the value dropped to almost nothing." You guys are like a bunch of bad gamblers whose pride forced you to try and get back at MTGOX buy buying bitcoins at their highest level possible.

Dont get me wrong I feel horribly for those victimized by MTGOX and I am even more astounded the thieves are still in existence. if I were the bitcoin developers I would be more pissed than anyone at those junkies. They stole from new investors, people who may have had proper ideas to expand bitoins development in their own ways, and just trashed the reputation of bitcoins in one of its most prime moments. It is amazing how much damage that company has done and gotten away with. People are so one tracked about the losses incurred by the customers there and sometimes fail to see the real overall damage was not just in stolen bitcoins, but also a stolen reputation. That MTGOX scam stops more people daily from adopting bitcoins and using them than all the positive points can bring in for a month. I get so tired of trying to introduce people to Bitcoins and hearing MTGOX this and MTGOX that.

You can not be a real, viable and credible alternative with anonymity. Sorry for that...but it's true!

Stopped reading here.

Fail.

I thought this post was going to be a romantic letter shared between bitcoin lovers.

I couldn't imagine what a "bitcoin lover" was so I clicked. Lmao










Then after skimming the OP, it turned out to be some kind of weird, troll post about losing money and complaining/begging for sympathy without actually begging.

Bitcoin is opensource and this does not actually matter a dime.

most people are too lazy to understand bitcoin. they arrive after a bubble (that is ok) but then stop learning more about BTC and the potential. thats a big mistake in my view.
