Bitcoin reminds me of an episode in the TV series Amazing Stories, I can't recall the entire episode but the gist of the story that left me a lasting impression is this: basically this boy was a slacker and not doing anything in his life but read comics and play with his toys all day. Suddenly some creepy elf appear (don't ask) and the boy asked him about advice of how to be rich or make his mother proud of him or something like that. The elf said to never sell his stuff, or something like that, basically to just hold on to his stuff. The boy who was about probably 9-10 years old then believed him. So as the show goes on he's getting older, we see him as a teenager still slacking and not doing anything. Then his 20s, his 30s, 40s. Still slacking, no job no wife no family, but still having all his stuff since he was a little boy, comics, toys, baseball cards etc. Then we see him at his 70s or 80s. Poor, homeless, with only a car with all his stuff in it. He realized he has wasted his whole life. He decided to end his life by driving off a cliff. Getting desperate, while he was trying to get some gas for his car and realizing he has no more money, a lady suddenly noticed him and his car full of stuff and asked would he be willing to sell one of his old mugs for 10. That boy(old man) shrugged well at least he could have some gas and maybe a sandwich with that money. The lady then replied please wait for her she'll need to come back with that $10 000 to buy his mug. Well, you know how the story went after that. The old man then became a millionaire and at the end, he became rich, had a beautiful young wife, became a very respected figure in the antique-collecting circles.
Moral of the story: Never, ever sell your bitcoins.
to me morals of this story are:
1. live a normal life
2. if you are poor until your are 80, you wouldn't care if you are rich at 80+. Beautiful young wife at 80 while you are using a walking cart? LOL
