“Bitcoin is the laughing stock of our firm”

[Review Master]

Every one of those will say that bitcoin is more volatile or it would go to zero. Just look into this: indian stock investors lose Rs 9 lakh crore in one day and still they'll say that bitcoin isn't having such potentials or more volatile market than others which is ridiculous.  Let them keep saying this and we'll be on the long drive for moon.

Bitcoin doesn't have to prove anything with those close minded people. I bet that when bitcoin has reached $20k, they've already joined and have a thought that they're all wrong with what they've said but chose to kept silent. Those doubters are probably feeling sorry that they've ignored bitcoin years back and didn't bought any amount of it. Well, as they say, we still have the last laugh while them probably are thinking of it every night that they've wasted those years of opportunity to buy it at a huge discount.

[TangentC]

There are people currently like this today, as there was 8 years ago. Nocoiners. How long must the network run before they can admit that Bitcoin, and the idea of Bitcoin, has opened a Pandora’s Box, never to close again.

How high must Bitcoin’s price go before they accept it as a self-sovereign Store of Value, HODLed as a hedge in case the Fed/Central Bank, and the government loses control of the financial system?

You stated in previous posts , you hold no bitcoins, does that not make you a nocoiner?

If you truly believed in bitcoin , why do you refuse to hold any?
Honestly wondering.

*Laughs in Gamestop Craze*. Investing firms are basically just legalized corruption offices where people call in to get their money stolen from them, so to actually hear this from someone no different from a criminal is quite funny. At the very least we have a very strong price resistance that can't easily be dialed back to zero, unlike some hedge funds out there that literally got finessed over by self-proclaimed retards from Reddit. Keep holding diamond hands.

So much has changed with Bitcoin, and so many fortunes were made and lost because of Bitcoin. But the last laugh has got to be from the the people who believed in Bitcoin from the very beginning. Those who bought even a handful of crypto are now living comfortable lives. Those who are late at the party in 2017 were able to multiply their profits 5 or 6 fold. Now the late comers will also hope that in a few years, Bitcoin will rise up to 300,000 dollars and will be the master of all digital assets.

I think bitcoin is choice! Or may I say everybody has their own choice whether to talk by our side or against us. They might not be techie guys, or they don't love the change. It could be possible that they are from the world or mindset where the change is not acceptable to them. In every situation we see opposition so I believe that we need not take them seriously.

Those who are in it will get benefited, those who are not won't! Its that simple formula. I see no point in reading the technological advancements in front of goons!

Nocoiners.

Are they really? I'm always skeptical though. Why would someone who finds something a "joke" waste their time so much on that "joke". For example I consider altcoins a joke so I don't spend any time telling people in the altcoin community they are wasting their time on that "joke", why would I?

In my opinion, all of those who spend time telling us we are making a mistake are spreading FUD and are already accumulating bitcoin themselves.

[Kakmakr]

You know, some of these people are still at the beginning phase of disruption where they laugh at you for your stance on a new innovative technology. (The same thing was said about the first vehicles, when people used horses as transport and also the first digital photos, when people still used Kodak film) 

Let you be that person who will laugh in the end, when Bitcoin become a mainstream currency. Do what I do with the no-coiners... just smile at them, when they make all those ridiculous statements and tell them.. "See you at the next all-time-high"

"how high must the price go"  (facepalm)

its not the price that sets it as being a good store of value
its the utility of being a store of value that makes it a good store of value

Debatable. Because who would be willing to use something as a Medium of Exchange if it had no value? Why would I, or anyone else, want to accept a thing of no value as payment? Plus an example. Bcash has more “utility” because of higher throughout as a Medium of Exchange, but why does Bitcoin hold more value?

We didn't know the changes that will happen in the future so we tend to be doubtful. Maybe this is just the beginning of the rise of crypto and what we currently see is just the starting line for bitcoin, the people who laughed back then are now begging to get in.

[cabron]

One reason why they want to get in is because of the USD value due to the money printing to which Saylor describes as a melting block of ice. The list of known wealthy individuals who had invested in BTC right now had openly said to the public including Paris Hilton that they had bought BTC.

If they still are not up to protect their wealth today, the government will just take their money away in the form of printing trillions into the economy which will eventually turn it into melted ice. Zimbabwe is an example.
But most importantly, BTC is a better store of value that can be sent instantly unlike Gold that stock market guys are trying to buy this time.

[galestorm]

The idea of bitcoin is absurd for them, they think that it will never work nor gain value. Several years to the present and I think all of us will agree that bitcoin has drastically gained value as well as popularity. People are beginning to recognize bitcoin for what it is, a decentralized coin that can be used by anyone as long as they have access to the digital platform. I guess people like that are skeptical of bitcoin because of its volatility, unlike Fiat which is stable and highly accessible to the public.

[Alert31]

Maybe bitcoin is a laughing stock for others before but not at this time. If those people look at bitcoins value now from just a single or even a cent from the past ten years , then I think they can't laugh now instead they will amazed. Also I believe that those who laugh at bitcoin are now one of bitcoins investor. Pandemic is not a joke and bitcoin stand as financial institution because fiat has lose it's value. Just think of bitcoin now, is it laughable or valuable?

[goldade]

I wouldn't blame them. They just don't understand what bitcoin is and how it works. I believe the real problem for them is their inability to understand the concept of decentralization. I guess they have been so used to the centralized authority of the finance that they are blind to see that there's a better way for finance.
You really can't do much concerning this other than subtly showing and proving to them what bitcoin is and how it works. If, however it gets to a point where they are not ready to listen anymore, it is advisable that you keep your views to yourself.

Some people have serious problems, although I wouldn’t blame some of them because they do so out of experience they have had in the past, but there are those who are just plain dumb and no matter what they are not going to understand it and they are going to keep saying trash about it, while some are also those that are angry that they missed the train and they are now saying trash just bring it down so that no one will be interested in, which is definitely not going to happen, they are just running around for nothing.

When you see such people you shouldn’t be trying to convince them about anything, don’t stress yourself about them, just focus on yourself and do your thing. Nobody said they are not seeing how Bitcoin has been progressing, they have just decided to be dumb. So, leave them.

[pixie85]

I have one thing to say to all the doubters, all the people who criticised us for HODLING during the bear markets & refused to buy -

Have fun staying poor.

They posted it 8 years ago. I suspect they had a nice laugh when it hit 1000 dollars in 2013 and then 20 thousand and then 60 thousand
If you went to their firm today with a bitcoin shirt on you would be able to hear teeth grinding and nails being bitten off.

There's one thing they're right about. Most bitcoin traders don't know what they're doing and are blinded by dreams of big money. They want money here and now and it hurts them.

[Harlot]

This would simply made my day if I was there during that time but for me it is a waste of time to try to even argue with them as they could either be a troll or just a person who isn't open-minded at all. Spending your time arguing with them is something that you must not really focus on as Bitcoin time and time again would just make them eat their own words just like how JP Morgan and other companies have changed their views towards the crypto industry and Bitcoin in particular. At least now people who have believe Bitcoin during the early days are sitting safely on a profit while these guys from 8 years ago might now be trying to buy Bitcoin at 60,000$ a piece.

^ I don't think real currency traders would tell that. The fact that he is currently working in a firm, probably he knew how finance works. Even if they do not need it to get rich, they still know the core and fundamentals of cryptocurrency. Something that they can take advantage of. They are actually the ones who could use bitcoin for their professional staff. Nevertheless, probably this is not legit and I dont think professionals have that much time to hate.

[nightxglow]

It’s completely wrong to think that someone has to change their mind just because Bitcoin is worth $60 000 today, and 8 years ago it was worth a few hundred dollars. It’s not a matter of price or blockchain, such people will always find a reason to have a negative opinion - some people are just like that and will never change their mind.

I personally know people who consider Bitcoin a scam which will fail sooner or later, they thought so 5 years ago, and they think so today - and when they ask me what’s going on with BTC, I tell them it really failed - time is too precious to we spend it on such people. The only difference that may exist then and now may be in their subconscious, before they really believed it was a scam, today they don't really believe it anymore, but they try to keep the idea alive - it's easier than admitting that they were wrong.

After all, how many of these nocoiners are paid to shill the existing financial system?

Yes, it's 8 years ago and no wonder people thought that way actually, and things changed already, people grow up and might learn new things, so i guess no need to hate or look down on someone's opinion from 8 years ago. Maybe that time, earning and selling btc is the best way, they have no idea it will be this high so they don't really believe in the concept of holding, who knows right?

Oh , so you were lying in the previous posts.

I was merely TROLLING, the troll.

Sorry can't really tell when you are telling the truth.

I’m the stupid one in the forum. I already told everyone to never listen to me. They should listen to the smart people like you and Knoas556

I imagine, he and Tman are doing fine.  

Tman? The person Kohas689 has been accusing me of being an alt-account of? I’m actually the doppelganger of franky1. You can call me franky2.

By the way congrats on your 12th birthday, a few more years and you can start driving.

Do you have more to add before I report your post?
