Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[Last of the V8s]

Is the desire for newcomers to share their bitcoin ownership a unique phenomenon? You never see folks on other asset specific forums posting things like:
"I finally own X ounces of gold!"
"I finally own Y shares of $AAPL!"
"I finally own Z dollars!"

but this is wrong, or at least not quite right
even newbs know not to say how many big ones they own
even shiny newcomers know not to wear garb that says i heart bitcoin
even noobies know just to say well i try to stack sats
even juniors say oh yeah i had some but then i lost it in a boating accident

I like to say that I died under strange circumstances in India.

That usually gets them off my back.

It would make sense. Especially now two years have passed since merit was introduced, it would highlight legendary users who have not only stuck around but also added considerable value to the forum in the meantime - which can't be said for most legendary ranked members it seems  

Notably from BPIP, with a 2000+ merit requirement alone, it would be less than 66 members, based on users that have received 1000+ merit that is. I think activity would have to be 2000, in order to remain not too exclusive, or even just the same as legendary around 1000.

I know you weren't proposing it officially, but I was curious to how many users a new rank would include... not many basically.

Its chaotic here, Which i love but argumentative nature of average Indian doesn't help the overall cause so can sympathise with you.

Edit : okay, I am way off and didn't get the joke

Sorry to hear that, I lost all mine when I was in hospital in Uganda. I was struck down with a rare strain of malaria.  Whilst I was in intensive care somebody stole my Trezor & I don’t have a copy of the seed, it was in my backpack which wasn’t recovered when I fell ill.

I absolutely love India, it's a top notch country, but I'd never thought about the argumentativeness aspect, thanks. Makes a lot of sense.
Yes some exchange owner 'died' there.

Good idea,but I think seniority should count as well, at least five or seven or something like that, years since registration.

even newbs know not to say how many big ones they own
even shiny newcomers know not to wear garb that says i heart bitcoin
even noobies know just to say well i try to stack sats
even juniors say oh yeah i had some but then i lost it in a boating accident

i have several bitcoin tshirts i used to wear in public. got some thumbs up and "nice tshirt" comments from people ranging from a door greeter at costco to my one of my MDs. but that was years ago, and i rarely wear them in public now.

sucks really. we are supposed to be supporting btc any way we can, not be afraid of mentioning it.

Yes it's annoying and sad really. One can do bitcoin shirt shopping here where the vibe is subtle, but still

Easy peasy: Give the shirts to a social welfare organisation. Some of them will likely be worn in highly frequented, public places.

From all I just been reading.... I’m the most lucky one it seems.... we all lost what’s precious to us, but I had the least tragic accident I see

I’m blessed
