Hillarious! So it's that distrust into bitcoin at core. A beginner's mistake. I feel bad for them, really... Fresh meme material for 2 years later... Yes, but they may have also sold just to lock in some profits, not because of a false believe in a double spend. Don’t assume to quickly. They MAY, right - but wouldn't they be ashamed of such a display of cluelessness, even if faked?

I've watched a few videos on youtube where Michael Saylor was a guest, each one about an hour long. He makes a lot of sense and explains in plain english what it means to him.
Considering he started learning it all just last year, in 2020, he's not bad at all. Dude is MIT graduate I think. Rocket Scientist or something.
it is encouraging to see how fast an open, smart mind can go down the bitcoin rabbit hole. now compare that to those who should professionally be open minded in such a way that they could at least comprehend bitcoin and write about it to their readers: the journalists. them failing miserably for almost a decade. Correction, he knew about bitcoin in 2013, but turned around in 2020 and is now our favorite CEO whale. Yup. Here's a tweet he posted in Dec 19, 2013: https://twitter.com/michael_saylor/status/413478389329428480It's good that he finally saw sense, albeit 7 years later. Just imagine the profits he could have made, if he was smart enough to buy in 2013 (or 2014, or 2015, or...). I remember that day week like it was yesterday. If he had "bought the dip" then: ~$385/btc. Instead he paid around 30X higher. Funny how ones tune can change if you have some skin in the game hey? it makes me wonder if he had done any research in 2013 before posting that tweet? If he had done, surely he would have come to the same conclusion that he does today? On the other hand, if he didnt do any research then why post about it if he didnt have all the facts? Don't get me wrong, I think he is doing us all a great favour with his bitcoin evangelism. Just curious as to what he was thinking in 2013? One thing are logical conclusions about rational strategies, another are markets, whose rationality isn't tied to anyone's solvency, as the saying goes. Maybe what he needed was to see a couple of actual post halving pumps? I guess so. Here have my last merit

I wouldn’t care. It’s just someone picking two things together and running with it for his own agenda. Like the MSM

Many peoples become interested in and investing in Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin is our up coming future. People who did't like it a while ago are now investing in it.

Blockchain and Bitcoin adoption are completely different things because blockchain is technology and bitcoin is financial independece which is not liked by many big whales in world economy but still its spreading with this all which is great for many those want to live better lives without many controls.

they're just afraid to miss out (FOMO). Even my dog was hit by a FOMO attack, he wants all the Alpo (my dog food) to sell to invest in Bitcoin. what about humans? it's the same, they are prone to FOMO attacks. education is really needed.. The reality is very painful, they actually don't really like and understand Bitcoin (people who just started investing in Bitcoin because they saw the current price of Bitcoin), they just like LAMBO..is this Lambo?

Apparently they're in AR/gaming or something like that. They used their corn as a treasury item, not for third party investment. Still, they should have known better than getting into something you don't understand the fundamentals of. EDIT @Wekkel Not hating, but an IT firm acting as scared noobs is somewhat striking to me. @machasm Thank you kind sir

Almost run out of readily available cash for investments, would have to sell something to buy something and since all assets are performing-a difficult proposition. I wonder if it is all blue skies from here or a few more weeks of consolidation and/or bottoming.

So reading about the "double spend" thing, I don't get it: Guy did a cheap fee transaction that sat in mempool. Guy did another transaction with more fee coin to try and free it. Block was confirmed with the low fee transaction. So his wallet should still have the bitcoin from the higher fee transaction in his wallet, the low fee one confirmed and an alternate reality where the higher fee was charged simply didn't exist.
This is not unusual or a big thing. Saying it was on "two chains" is invalid as there is only one real chain. He might as well have posted the fee to testnet.
Oi. I see bigger problems with the idea of sending bitcoin to a BCH address by mistake (which can still be read by the recipient by loading their wallet on the real chain)

It was technically a "block reorganization". Happens all the time. This one was just more significant than all the others, and people ran with the FUD over a trivial number of satoshi. Everything is retarded.
