You can emoji me all you like and I don‘t know your background nor understanding of money, but I‘ll tell you I have really been into understanding our banking system and been around crypto since 2012 or so. Bitcoin alone can really help our financial system.
I love gold and silver but BTC and crypto have a role in our future. Maybe you see it as an either or argument. Glad I understood BTC enough at $50. And since then the number of people who act like you re crypto, well, it‘s getting less as more slowly understand its ROLE. I am not claiming it is THE answer. It‘s not. Just a tweak to our broken and corrupted system.
Yeah BTC was fun at a few bucks per coin. I mined in a pool and generated a few, and had at my peak 13. I think I still have a wallet on a drive with a single btc on it. But, it was fun when was simply a currency. It’s not a fucking investment like everyone treats it now. But hey, let everyone go ahead and hodl. The savvy “investors” can collectively figure out how to have their cake and eat it too.
Fun? Putting pressure on a corrupt banking system is "fun" but also, very needed. You seem to want to criticize where it suits you, but you don't want to go deeper.
You say it was fun when it was a simple currency. What has changed? Same basic code with minor updates.
BTC is NOT and investment, it is a hedge against inflation. But yeah, in terms of $$$ you can say investment.
And yet I do understand completely, so I speak. Maybe it’s you who are speaking about what you don’t understand.

Attacking the messenger and not the message. I’ve clearly touched a nerve. You could look at that.
I agree it’s not an investment. That’s where it went wrong. The same (and worse) elements that corrupt the traditional money supply corrupted btc.
And yes, it was fun before that. It was a drop in the financial ocean, literally a few million dollars against the massive trillions in circulation. Definitely not nearly enough to put any pressure on any government controlled monetary supply. Maybe if Dubai started trading with China and using btc as a currency, now that would be pressure. But some Joe buying some weed off a tor site isn’t exactly going to have the central banks shaking in their boots.
Alas, the corrupt cancers that infect the traditional money supply hit btc, ftx, dogecoin, oprahcoin, etc. Exchanges creating value where it doesn’t exist, pumping up the value, while government entities track and disable transactions easier than you can say “Trudeau hates truckers.” One could make an argument that the cesspool that crypto has become is the wet dream of the very thing its users profess to fight against.
You seem like a smart guy, but unfortunately one that lost a little value and is hodling to try and make up for it. Maybe I’m wrong about you. Maybe I’m wrong about all this. Who knows, who cares. At the end of the day we’re both going to do what we want anyway. Maybe someday I’ll buy you drinks if you’re wrong, or you’ll buy me some if I’m wrong.
No nerve touched; I was just sharing. And the basis of my spiel had nothing to do with you. But you lack understanding here and I have to say as much for others reading.

Why speak about what you don't understand?
