Yea it is good to have some nerd friends, helps out alot.
Envy is a destructive feeling. It keeps you trapped in your current situation and prevents you from improving it.
As for securing wallets, I manage my parents coins because they are tech illiterate. Everyone has that option. Make some nerd friends.

It's a heck of a lot easier to use and acquire Bitcoin than last year
So even the non-tech savvy can start adopting it now but I agree most people tend to wallow in self pity about it and say well if only it was easier, then again earning money is not ever easy
(Unless you were here in 2009 forgot for 5 years and found your wallet lol)

Bitcoin isn't even that complicated to use. You don't need to know or understand all the technology behind it or how it works. It's pretty easy to use an app or blockchain.info account and I'm sure it'll only get easier.
Business is unfair to non-businessmen. lol
And god is unfair for those who born into poverty.
Ideas of communism, interesting.

I'm delighted to see a rather mainstream article changing their tone on bitcoin. It's no longer magic internet money or drug money. The developing nations seem to be on everyone's mind when it comes to BTC. Good things to come.
I just hope in few years there will be very secure and cheap hardware wallet, so everyone can safely use Bitcoin even on compromised computer. I think this will be next Bitcoin milestone.
It's already being worked on. The price was listed as 1 BTC back when a bitcoin cost $100, but I don't know if they've since changed what they plan on charging for it or not.
You can. There's nothing wrong with that approach, and it's what I plan on doing myself. But I suspect this a Trezor is cheaper if they keep the price the same, unless you get a computer used, it's likely going to cost a lot more than $100.

What kind of communist argument is that? I am a dumbass but I deserve the same reward as someone who has the talent to identify potential from a mile away?
Bitcoin traders are sometimes accused of unfairly profiting from an opaque asset beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Yesterday I met a couple of my old classmates on the street. They asked about Bitcoin and started to whine that most people don't understand the mathematical fundamentals behind Bitcoin and therefore had no realistic chance to invest when it was cheap. Of course, I encouraged them to invest now (better late than never) but seems that people generally rather enjoy wallowing in their own self-pity than take steps to adapt and overcome.
Even in this forum I have seen demeaning opinions about people who bought in when Bitcoin was trading single digits --- "they are not real investors and their earnings are equivalent to winning with a lottery ticket".
I can see that these issues can raise some negative emotions and Bitcoin has even not risen to 6666$ yet
. What's the worst case scenario to follow? Bitcoin Jesus getting beaten up by angry conventional Warren Buffer apprentices?

Bitcoin is unfair to the "Lazy"! It doesn't take too much to learn how to use it.
Exactly. It doesn't take long nor much effort to understand the basics of Bitcoin or any technology really. The need for people to have to store, hide, protect and backup their private Bitcoin addresses sucks imo. That's one of the weaknesses of Bitcoin.
You have it backwards. The ability to be the sole individual responsible for securing and spending my money is one of the greatest strengths of Bitcoin! No middlemen or authorities required.
Yes, this is biggest strength of Bitcoin, but only for tech-savvy.

The old must make way for the new. Without that, there is no growth. I think it is right that those who are creating the future should profit from it. At the same time, those same people should be merciful to those who are not thinking about the future. We all have to live together.

I don't think that I quoted you on that, that was more or less in response to the responses I'm getting for what I'm saying, and thanks I don't need a lesson on how forums work I was a mod at one for many years so I'm well aware thanks.
No, you didn't quote me, you responded to my post where I quoted someone else
and told me to stop assuming things about you.
Whatever.
