Do you guys remember the ramblings of many newbies here and on reddit, twitter, etc. that the halving was priced in? Since then the price went from 6-7K to $11 700!
Happens every time, NOCOINERS, people who sold everything too early years ago, bitter noobs with a low stash. It’s just jealousy, not wanting to see other people do well. Say anything enough times & you might convince yourself that you’re right.
I do tend to agree with a large part of what you are asserting here, LFC, but surely there is a lot more going on with nocoiners than pure bitterness - because there are likely a lot of nocoiners who just don't realize that they are precoiners or they have not been properly introduced to bitcoin or have not been sufficiently enlightened to the actual
raison d'être of bitcoin.
I understand that we could get into technical or semantical arguments regarding the difference between a nocoiner and a precoiner, yet I doubt that we would be making much progress to attempt to pigeon-hole either of these categories of potential bitcoin adopters.
I guess what I am speculating is that in 2-3 years or maybe even 5 years, we are going to have a large number of new bitcoin adopters who had been in both categories, and probably even a certain number of them are going to have selectively forgotten why they had previously been so hostile to bitcoin, and even arguing why they are more OG than some other bitcoin adopter, including some of us who are likely objectively way the fuck more OG than them.
In the end, probably it does not matter too much regarding which bitcoiner is MOAR OG than the next, and surely some bitcoiners will either have great advantages in terms of having had been able to go from rags to riches because they had accumulated their bitcoins really early or that they had persistently continued to attempt to accumulate bitcoin (even while making lots of mistakes along the way) and strung together a decent BTC position through many years of struggle and sacrifice, and likely some other later adopter bitcoiners might have just converted (or become enlightened towards bitcoin) at some later point in time in which they are able to move the silver spoon from their mouth into some other pot, such as the bitcoin/kingdaddy pot.
