A few months back, when BTC dumped to nearly $3200 (or it is $3800) at the beginning of the corona outbreak, a guy from my local who is now living in UK had posted in his facebook that "This is the end of bitcoin. I knew it has to be someday, there it is." I had nothing to say other than asking him to do his homework before doing such speculation. Well, I just have remembered that post and spent a few minutes to find that post and poked him the screenshot of 1 BTC equals to $16602. Guess his feeling now Grin

How about now? Its 17550 as of this writing on Preev.com. Asking out on what would be his feeling at the moment? and that would really be that regret on missing out that he hadnt accumulate
wayback when bitcoin was still on 3k value.Well people cant really avoid to give out those emotional kind of reaction when everything is on deep reds.Even myself can say in bitcoin that time
where i do even believe that it will go below down 1k which is understandable that fear will really be overcoming on us but for those who do take the risk then those people who would really be making
money at the moment.

I havent poked up someone but i have seen lots of them saying that bitcoin is dead on that time and when bitcoin did hit 10k then they do changed up their minds
and how much more that we are almost hitting that 20k ATH?

however, i think that sometimes it is good to remind other people of the idiocy of these people and how FUD works. for example recently someone bumped a topic in speculation board which i liked because it was a good reminder about how they operate during any kind of dip. and that has educational merit.

I went through that link you have here and it looked like some of the posters there did not understand well what bitcoin is. I read coments from legendary members and was disappointed they talked so much ill about bitcoin. I wish we can find out what they have to say now that bitcoin did not die according to their prophecy.

Since it's only speculation so they can give any opinions they want even it's from newbie or legendary members. Who knows which is real supporters of Bitcoin who's not ,you should also need to considered all their emotion the day that topic is posted most of the investors that time lost a lot, thats why they lost the confidence of trusting Bitcoin because of bad experience they experience that time so don't just be so angry with them if they give bad opinion.

In Search of Incredible

That's the best reply to a silly people who don't know about the actual position of bitcoin and gives trash statement like this. There is also few people who sell their coins while a correction happens to crypto market. They get panic and think that bitcoin going to die. Time always show them what bitcoin is and how far it can reach.

Some times it's better one research first before commenting on things you don't understand or better keep quiet. Cool

Unfortunately, people don't do that. We're just too quick to say something but of course this is because they are likely trying to win an argument or misinformed. It will really be funny how he will react after remended by what he said that turned out to be wrong.

But there are just bold people still, Jaime Dimon was one of these people back in the day but now, he is just one of the people who joined forgets about his claims.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope

The potential for people's trust depends on the situation. I think people will believe bitcoin more if you introduce it to them when the price is so high. Because what they will first ask is about profit, "so, how much profit are you getting at this time?".

When the market is sluggish, you will have no supporting answers to make people believe even if it is a good opportunity to start.

He's been at it for years and this year he again bought at 12 thousand and sold somewhere around 14. I've been telling him for at least 5 years to buy and hold.

As you said, the best strategy (if you are not a daytrader) is just buy and forgot about that 5-10years. I am always smiling on the guys which are told me that they are loosing money, that they bought for 10k and now it is 3k.
But they are not understand, that they are not loosing anything, they had the same 1BTC like before. They will only lose it when they are sell it for fiat lower then they bought it...

When I'm right I always like to shove it in my opponent's face. There's nothing more satisfying than the good old I told you! Cheesy

I have a friend who is always reluctant to buy. He has some money on the side and his trading strategy is like this:
-wait for Bitcoin to be in a strong uptrend.
-Buy
-wait for it to reach about 10% profit
-sell
-watch it go up more
-regret selling every day and tell friends how you made a mistake.

It is happening, again and again and again.
At the beginning of the 2017 I told my colleagues buy at least 5BTC and at the end of this year you can buy a very good brand new car for that. No one listen. They are said it is a scam, bubble, MLM, it is a thin air and so on.
So I am told them ok, so you can invest in AMD and TESLA shares which are cheap and in few years will fly. And gues what? No one listen to me...

Usually people who think negatively about Bitcoin have no knowledge of Bitcoin. And it's impossible for everyone to like Bitcoin,
there will always be someone who hates Bitcoin. I've also come across people who are very negative about Bitcoin. I've never
argued with Bitcoin haters, I just ignored them. Because it would only be a waste of time dealing with Bitcoin haters, better use
our time for something more positive.

When the price was crashing, I remember telling my friends to buy as much as they could(also told them the risks involved). No one listened to me. Back then, Ether was somewhere around $100. About 2 months ago, my sibling called and told me he just bought 1 ether(At about $500). Not too bad for him. BTW, as I usually say, bitcoin isn't about the price, it's about the currency.

It looks fun to do that but you must have pushed him away even more with what you did. Do you still talk about anything other than bitcoin?

When I think about my perception about bitcoin before, I'm not that different from "that guy". I was involved in other investment vehicle before and thought less about bitcoin when I first heard about it.

Well, it might be a valuable lesson to him and/or to some other people like him. Bitcoin has very low points, but it tends to climb up eventually. But those determined in their belief that Bitcoin is worthless will ignore this fact and remain confident that next time Bitcoin will definitely fall beyond recovery and stay there.
I also wanted to point out that I don't remember Bitcoin falling THAT low. And I've checked coingecko, where the lowest point in 2020 was $5032 on 17th of March. It's still very low, but not as low at the figure you've mentioned. Is this a mistake on your part or could you perhaps provide a proof that the price went that low?

Bitcoin doesn't care any particular ideas or thought. I believe that no matter whether you care it or not, Bitcoin will increase in value either way. Looks back 4 years ago, when Bitcoin was at just only $709, now at the moment it near to touch $17K. Indeed, not everyone as intelligent to figure out the right track.

What an epic comeback! Hahaha you're so mean Grin

. But I will consider it as lawful evil because that man deserves it. Actually, a screenshot of the recent price isn't enough dude. If I were on your position, I'll add "In your face lol". How pity for the antagonists not only of btc but crypto in general. They are wasting the opportunity of earning just to because they are afraid to stay away from the norm. Exploring isn't bad.

While I admit that "I told you so" in these type of situations can feel good, BTC going to 16,000+ won't change his opinion or feeling about BTC as people like that will say that "BTC went already to 20k and then dumped so it will do it again", or "it is just pump and dump scheme" or something along those lines. You know the saying, "You cannot reason people out of positions they didn't reason themselves into" and this applies here as well. For them BTC price is pretty much irrelevant and they will always find some excuse. At least that was my experience.

For me, it's a complete waste of time and arguing with those doomsayers is like playing a chess with a pidgeon; sooner or later it will knock all the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like he won anyway. I won't say I didn't make that mistake and argued in the past ( I am active on one IT forum) but I learned my lesson eventually.

Shame and deleted that post.

I want to do this on social media but I don't want to disturb other speculators who are making fun of bitcoin. Guess what? I'm laughing at them now silently. Tongue

I cannot think of other explanation to why those people who are talking negatively towards Bitcoin and other cryptos, except for the fact that they are not fully aware of its true nature. Many people are calling this technology as scam and fraud without even investing into it or simply studying about it since resources are scattered online. Well, for sure he will be speechless since his claims were proven wrong. But it would be better if he will be interested in this industry in order to know why many people are hooked up with this technology.

The best that you can do when someone is talking smack on bitcoin and does not want to hear a reason or is not open minded to contradicting ideas or information is to ignore them at best. Dumb ones can be taught on what is right or to know the other side of things but fools will just reject anything, any rational information that does not support their thesis will just woosh above their heads. Had run ins with this kind of people and by far the least stressing action to do by far is to ignore.

if it were to "poke" every brainless monkey whom i know in real life or online and had made some stupid comment about bitcoin then i wouldn't have time to do anything else in my life. and i have been around for 6 years so i know quite a lot of them! not to mention that it is pointless to just poke the person alone.

however, i think that sometimes it is good to remind other people of the idiocy of these people and how FUD works. for example recently someone bumped a topic in speculation board which i liked because it was a good reminder about how they operate during any kind of dip. and that has educational merit.

Is that a revenge? It may be a good idea but we do not that guy had also been also investing more btc when market is down and he can also get back with the poke with his investment buying low and selling high. Anyway, what matter here is our way or strategic way of investing in bitcoin. If one can buy low and sell high it could be a good strategy but buying bitcoin even at higher price would still be a good choice for a long term hold.
