Topic: You the local Bitcoin joke in town? - page 2. (Read 768 times)

in my opinion we will just laugh out loud and be happy in 2021. because I think bitcoin will not go to the moon in 2020, bitcoin will reach a new ATH in 2021. after reducing by half bitcoin will take at least a year to pump high. as happened in 2016 bitcoin was reduced by half and reached the month in 2017. but I am always sure I can reply to ridicule people who do not believe with bitcoin. I am sure in the future bitcoin will make us successful.

Correct, the future will prove to them how they had a opportunity to educate
themselves and embrace the technology earlier rather than later.

I have first hand experience of this, I was told about Bitcoin back around
2012 and shrugged it off as "tokens for gamers" .....

Look where we are now!

we can only wait for the right time when those who laugh at us previously experience deep regret for not being involved in this field and can feel happiness when we get huge profits when market prices have increased sharply and are able to break new history throughout the year because market prices have increased which is sharper than in previous years

I also hope that in 2020 or 2021 bitcoin can reach a new ATH so that this will be strong evidence that bitcoin is still reliable and a profitable investment tool. and we can smile and laugh in front of people who have mocked us before. but actually in my opinion even though bitcoin did not reach the new ATH this year. we have already benefited from bitcoin investments. let people make fun of us as long as it is important that we can succeed and achieve financial freedom.

yes I agree it looks like in 2020 bitcoin will be victorious at a time when bitcoin is skyrocketing and very reliable, by the beginning of 2020 bitcoin has begun to look skyrocketing again. I hope this will become a sweet dream for all of us.

Maybe we are the local Bitcoin Joke in town for now, but you know how they say, the one who laughs at last laughs better... A lot of people who buy at $20k still holding with the faith to see bitcoin higher than that, and if they are waiting now that doesn't mean it will not happen in the future, so, for now, we are the joke, but let's see who is laughing in 2025

Well they are right to be angry because what you did was very wrong. Even I knew that December price went too high too quickly and was bound to correct. The higher and faster it went, the bigger of this possibility coming. Once past 15k or so, i was even telling people to hold on, and wait to see if things calm down. You did the opposite, so there.

If someone asks when is the time to buy, it would be about the same time the price has been boringly stable, actually when not many bother buying or selling. When everyone is buying, this is a red flag. Everyone selling is also another type of red flag, but bitcoin being what is is, you are unlikely to see that (bear) sentiment last long.

Currently bitcoin has long been near 7k, its not a bad time to buy some more. If it suddenly spikes you wait to see if it holds. If you are a trader you may even decide to sell and wait until it goes back down, but this is not always certain, so its your risk to take. But a holder doesn't need to worry about that. And if you bought high, such as 18k, you have to wait until it reaches that price again or even higher, before selling any of it. A true "bitcoiner" won't sell anyway, unless absolutely needed, so any price is good. You just missed the chance to buy more bitcoin for the same amount of fiat, and even mislead people into doing the same.

So next time price spikes and you see everyone and their cat buying, YOU shut up or tell them to wait. Doubt they will believe in you anymore, so keeping quite would be best.

Look at the WHOLE graphic, since inception in 2009 until today, bitcoin price is a logarithmic curve that starts almost vertical, rising in value very fast and very quickly in the beginning, gradually slowing down overtime until it approximates a horizontal line with little price increase over an even longer span of time.

As far as I'm concerned, I've been doing my job promoting Bitcoin since it was trading around $400, of course no one took it seriously until it reached $15,000, then everyone I knew got burned  buying in FOMO, joke's on them, not on us.



Most of shops either use Bitpay or Coinbase, which now allows for instant stable-coin conversion, actually making it possible to buy & well safely with bitcoin without having to convert to USD.

Sorry, I misunderstood the totality and didn't understand that it's just your friends . I thought you were included in it and I worried that why would you be included in those times? You're a veteran here already and I just didn't completely absorb what you posted.

If you have advised them, then it's not your fault. It's totally theirs unless you made it your mission to make them buy. Sadly, those days are gone for now. Maybe in a few years, we could go back to those all-time highs.

What a good friend you are, giving them BTC. I have bought it during the ATH, can you send me some too? Just kidding 

Don't worry KPrawn, this will all go away in time. But I hope you learnt your lesson and from now on only tell people about Bitcoin as a tech and as a user, never as a speculator. I mean, they will all still end up talking to you and thanking you one day (If they hodl now of course) but I think in the short term you've to remember people are impatient.

I think that those people who taunt a person do not need to pay attention, because they do not understand anything in the cryptocurrency and do not receive any information about everything that happens on the cryptocurrency market in order to objectively condemn the actions of a person.  For example, I used a lot of my Bitcoins in 2016 when the price went up to $ 500 per coin, and when in 2017 the price of Bitcoin went up to $ 20,000, I really regretted what I did.  And my wife doesn’t even want to talk about this topic, because it is because of this that she may begin to have a tantrum.  After all, it was because of her influence that I spent all my bitcoin.

yes, I think most of the shops that started to accepted btc as payments they stop it because of huge price drop. The Btc market is very unstable which is not very good for it to use as a payment system for local shops and markets.

sometimes indeed we will always be repulsive when we want to provide information about crypto to those closest to us. but if we already get enough results then they will ask afterwards, because some people are more concerned with the benefits obtained than knowing the technology in it. therefore they will be interested if we have made big money, because I experienced it too

Stay patient, friend. We will show them that what we have introduced them is reality. Maybe now they can laugh at us because the price of Bitcoin has dropped not as we expected, but we have to be patient to see the price of Bitcoin will rise again in next year.

Yes, this time it seems like we are already going in right direction as not only bitcoin but other altcoins have got a pump and I think this year will make a difference but I think this current pump is temporary wherein whales are just implementing their tactics to cashout by pumping the value and trust me the value will be dumped hard before the halving so that whales can reinvest at a lower price. This is my personal opinion but again next few weeks will help us understand how the market is going to be.

My account registration has nothing to do with this. I bought bitcoins when the price was around $300 and I made very good profits on

those coins. My friends saw this and they wanted to do the same, so I showed them what to do. Unfortunately most of them did not

listen to my advice to buy low and sell high, so they jumped in at the ATH in 2017. I do not blame myself for their mistakes, because I

gave them good advice at the time, they were just greedy. (I even softened the blow to some of them, by covering some of their

losses, with some of profits that I made in previous years.)


There is nothing wrong with my screen.    It is just the way I post. I hate a wall of text and it just makes it easier to read.  


I never sold myself as a financial advisor, just the Bitcoin guy with more knowledge on the subject. I always tell people to remember

that Bitcoin is not an investment, it is actually a currency. If you want to use it as an investment, then you will have to see it as a

high risk/long term investment. I am more than willing to help people to avoid the scams and to give advice on how to buy and sell

bitcoins in a safe environment and not to give them advice on when to buy.  

support yourself and your friends, say to be patient. the process of achieving success is painful. and must be ready to be reviled. look again at the process of bitcoin from the first highest peak in 2013. give an explanation to them, and show the graph. say we are at the lowest price. but this will lead to a second bitcoin increase in 2017. even more. believe me. all will be repeated again.

First of all, you were warned that Bitcoin is a very risky investment so why would be telling your friends to invest without letting them know that the price can fall at anytime? There are people who I knew were interested in Bitcoin but after the price dropped they lost interest. These people were only interested in Bitcoin because of the increase, they expected the price to keep going up because they see bitcoin as a money making asset.

So, you should make your friends understand the risks in cryptocurrency investment, and such risks cannot only be seen here, it’s the same with every investment, there’s always risks involved and they have levels – from low, medium, to high level risks. They should understand that and choose wisely next time and also buy the assets that are affordable to them.

Well that kinda sucks man to see people are overshadowed with the fact that bitcoin is beneficial for people but instead they got misled by some information regarding scams, drugs and such. It's always better to keep it to ourselves if we want no unnecessary problem to be coming after us because at the end of the day, it'll be all on ourselves if something good or bad happening.

Bitcoin fell below $ 20,000. It was very painful for people. I think selling at the right time is very important. If you sell at the right time, you'll have a chance to buy later. So you can stay on the market for many years.
