So i followed that interesting conversation today...
Two medium educated men, proud of their 5%pa investments (stock market or fonds based, excluding inflation loss), were talking about bitcoin.
They said buying btc at the time would be dumb, because if you aren't an early adopter, it's just a ponzi.
Also, that if governments don't take measures against "this ponzi", they must be either holding OR they have no control over bitcoin.
Don't get me wrong, i would enjoy being simple minded like these two, but then i would also probably fomo all-in right before the next ATH (2022 probably?).
At that time, they might even ask me if i heard about bitcoin, and that i should sell my house to buy btc)
link or it did not happen.  Even a video on youtube would have made no sense, because nobody would understand that heavy accent, in a language somehow related to german  The younger guy also has a machine-gun talking style including light stuttering, even i have to ask him three times to repeat himself to understand what he actually was saying! LOL EDIT: In their world (my environment), they are considered as "totally sane". Do you recognize the similarities of their arguments to Roach's argumentation? That's living in the countryside of Hitler's motherland. Sometimes i just feel like alienated when i have to join a local event. Hungary reloaded.  |

It's somewhat entertaining to find out it's ponzi only if you are not an early adopter.  And yes, they are the majority in the world, we are just a small and strange(!) minority. |

Ironically the Bitcoin SV account has no actual connection to Bitcoin SV. He knows fuck all about it, and is indeed a banned, multi-accounting troll. He also owns the Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin Cash accounts but never uses them. I learned this from my Russian sources, with whom I've been colluding behind the scenes. Korner is a lot like Garry Kasparov: he plays 4D chess, trolls the government, and all the other Russians hate him. |

Exactly my thoughts after reading the news today, expressed in a picture If gold price shows identical actions, it might be true, i guess. |

I was tempted to introduce them into the concept of Sats and pull out the gold kilogram vs. ounce (or gram) comparison. I didn't do it for my own sake. Would have been like teaching a turtle how to ride a donkey |

Would have been like teaching a turtle how to ride a donkey I fully understand you! (I've learned that it's not healthy to assume a certain level of comprehension, especially in the "real world".) Because there's quite a chance you may have more success with the turtle... |
