well remember what ghandi said, first they ignore you etc...? this apply perfectly to bitcoin, those people that ignore it at first raising the unbelievable excuses that bitcoin is for terrorist that bitcoin is dead etc...
are the same people that later jump in the bull run when it's already too late, they are the so called fish, that help the whales make their dirty pump and dump
some of them don't even know that bitcoin is limited, and rare, and has a deflationary course
Ghandi never said that, it's a paraphrase.
Unfortunately for His Excellency the movement is likely to grow with ridicule as it is certain to flourish on repression.

It is for the nation to return an effective answer by organised non-co-operation and change ridicule into respect. Ridicule is like repression. Both give place to respect when they fail to produce the intended effect.

His Excellency resists the temptation to reply to his critics, meaning thereby that he has not changed his opinion on the many vital matters affecting the honour of India. He is ‘content to leave the issues to the verdict of history.’ Now this kind of language, in my opinion, is calculated further to inflame the Indian mind.
[…]
It will be admitted that non-co-operation has passed the stage ridicule. Whether it will now be met by repression or respect remains to be seen. Opinion has already been expressed in these columns that ridicule is an approved and civilized method of opposition. The viceregal ridicule though expressed in unnecessarily impolite terms was not open to exception.
But the testing time has now arrived. In a civilized country when ridicule fails to kill a movement it begins to command respect.
Quite relevant if I may say so myself.
Time and time again I've implied to those close to me that they should embrace bitcoin. And now...as it rises in all of it's glory they will be the ones with their mouths hung agape.
