Most people that investing bitcoin now, are just investing to make money. It annoys the hell out of me. 90% of people haven't read the white paper! Don't even know why decentralisation is a good thing! Don't know why the blockchain is such a revolutionary invention! It annoys me so much! These people just invest because they want to "get rich quick".
And the annoying thing is that if someone had told me about bitcoin 6 years ago, I still would have put all of my money into it. Unfortunately I'm only 16 so I didn't know ANYONE (when I was 9) that would tell me about bitcoin. I only just heard of it 7 months ago and henceforth, have become OBSESSED with crypto. Now I've dropped out of school for crypto and it really does my nut in when all I hear is "Bitcoin to $10K!", "Bitcoin to $20k!".
Deep down I actually hope that the bubble (yes it is a mini-bubble) pops after the Segwit fork and that the price goes back down to $2k. That way all of these stupid investors can suck their thumbs and get taught a lesson. 90% of these people also would have said bitcoin was a scam 9-15 months ago but now look at them. They run around like fucking idiots screaming "BLOCKCHAAINN!!!", "DECENTRALISATIONNNN!!!".
Smh.
Rant over.
to be honest, a lot of us from earlier were here for a cash grab as well, we just had a bit more faith as the price wasnt up up up like this. the issue with the mindset of some of the newer community members is they are primed for uptrend forever; it has not crossed their minds that the price floor could be 20-50% under their purchases price
i dont want to see the lil bros get wiped out value wise. like last time, the forum will collectively be sour during a major contraction/downtrend.
the cheerleading is what gets to me. its corny, dudes are like "bitcoin is perfect!" or "I always hold bitcoin til I die without spending!". the enthusiasm almost seems unauthentic. bitcoin pisses me off most days LOL, i hate people being blind
