I think if your goal in life is to purchase a bigger TV, you should rethink what it is you really want out of life (and Bitcoin).

Right. I did not realize TV's were that expensive that Bitcoin needs to reach such high amounts to buy one. Wink

My dream job has always been to be a rich philanthropist. I would love to be involved with helping free sex slaves, doing some international work in Africa to help the hungry, support free medical services for the poor in third world countries and so on.

But I have some selfish wants too. A new house with a giant walk-in closet is on my wish list!

You can keep the closet - i just want a quiet, sound insulated room with no external light sources to sleep in.

Or maybe just a cave... *hermit*

I hope we're right, and people who didn't want to be saved won't be saved.

People just want to live their lives. They're making plans to buy their first house, get married, take a vacation etc etc, they don't want to mire themselves in all this doom and gloom financial meltdown business. And I don't blame them, it's depressing, so they distract themselves with shopping trips, video games and TV shows.

It's not that they don't want to be saved, they're in denial about the state of the system they've been born into and depend on.

And this denial created opportunity for the rest of us

There will always be a top and a bottom to every pyramid. Whether it's the food chain, social hierarchy or financial status, every layer depends on the ones below it, an inescapable law of nature. You can fall down easily, but to go up you have to climb.

Ignorance, denial, and complaisance will land you at the bottom.

I just hope if this is true, that we may be the new wealthy elite, that we remember our values and act more responsibly and benevolently than the wealthy elite of the past. I hope that instead of building palaces that separate us from a brothers and sisters, that we my live humbly and share our wealth. I have no doubt that this community would do better than the current elite, but sometimes this forum can be a bit greedy. We do understand that this is a zero sum game correct? And that we don't deserve to be extravagantly wealthy, as nobody does. It's not healthy for anybody.

I hope we are the new wealthy elite, so that we may humbly take elitism down a few notches to a more sane level. Where individuals don't hoard billions of dollars while billions starve. That is insanity, and I hope you all feel similarly.

lol

yes human nature is the same whether you are talking fiat or crypto. BTC will not lead to any kind of utopia but it will make life better for those who adopt it...unless the gov't stormtroopers bust down your door because you have some, of course.

It still amazes me how many people make fun of me for being involved in crypto. Some of these people are programmers, too! What that tells me is that bitcoin is an incredibly good idea, and their humor at the situation validates it for me. If nobody thought it was crazy, how could it be life-changing (e.g. the new class of wealthy elite)?

It's a shame really. I know some really smart and respectable people who brushed bitcoin off as a flash in the pan. And even if they're right, I'm disappointed that so many of them are so short sighted, given how brilliant some of their thoughts and ideas are.

It's even harder do watch as everyone I care for has their savings and earnings devalued from right in front of them, and there's nothing I can do. They don't get it, they don't want to hear it, and I feel like I'm the one taking crazy pills.

I hope I'm wrong. It would make life so much better for everyone.

I hope we're right, and people who didn't want to be saved won't be saved.

I won't join the ASIC race so that really only leaves me with one way to increase my stash.

JD?

What I meant by that is not buying something that has only one purpose. I'm still using some of my video cards and made presents of some of them to family members. ASICs are useless for anything other than mining. I wouldn't buy a used car for 5k if it could only go to the grocery store and back even though that's a useful purpose.
