Same. I used to be really into BTC around 2011-2014 but then all the ponzi "price goes up" people jumped on it.

I like the idea of P2P cash but I don't want the casino.I don't wanna invest, I just wanna use it as money. It didn't work out so well for that.

Did the value of bitcoin actually go up, or did the thing you measure it by go down?

I will happily bet on the number of bitcoins in existence by say 2030. Would you bet on the number of dollars in existence by then?

So if everybody just bought bitcoin, everyone in the world would all be rich! Brilliant!


I measure it by pizzas per Bitcoin. It’s definitely gone up.


I sold all at 2014 that I had mined because exactly this. It went fast from maybe useful to just scam.


2011 was tea party anti-establishment doomers
