Did the guy from South America (Colombia?) hodl the 1 bitcoin you helped to crowd fund?

He did. He’s killing it.

That was a great moment. Glad to hear he is crushing it. 🙏

Hodl

"Holding is easy"

"Anyone could do it"

There is an obvious lesson in here.

Old boss has the experiential wisdom, hence why he keeps winning.

Holding is not easy.

Holy shit maybe some people are better off with the ETF

#1 is the most interesting. Already rich means he understands money & value.

#10 is painful to read.

#4 is a real piece of shit & deserves his loss.

Hahaha

Great resumè. Sometimes it’s easy to forget just how hard it is to stay humble. I lolled hard at #10

May I ask if you managed your late father’s keys?

I did

Ehh you got them to buy, I think being orange pilled is something different, much much deeper

You can’t orange pill people. That’s the point. Everyone either orange pills themselves or not.

* My mum

* my sister

* my best friend

* An old friend I met in Morocco 25yrs ago

* a friend of my hubby - real estate guy 😂

* 3 of my step kids

They all still hodl and stack humbly!

If they sold, traded, or spent, then they didn’t take the pill.

I feel for number 3

I think I'm driving my parents away from BTC. I'm all in and it makes them nervous

Can you have a cousin in law? If it's a cousin, nobody really cares if its blood or marriage. That #4 is a real live John McAfee.

That’s a great track record for you. Not so good for the majority of them. Well done. Given the poor success so many have orange pilling their friends and family, what do you think the key has been in your success?

1 is wise

4 has no morals

Sorry to hear about your father

9 is a true hodler

10 lmfao

I feel like I need to save this post for everyone I ever orange pill in the future as a warning.

Rule #1 do not talk about your stashb

Great work, some positives and some tragic losses of corn.

Sorry to hear about your father.

Lesson: don’t buy bitcoin bad things happen 😂

Still a 100x ahead of us in real terms too

Most of my friends and fam still have it. Only one sold recently to pay off student loans. One sold a bit recently to buy a 2nd property

how'd did number 4 play out? hahshaha

Haha I cut him out of my life. Dude is a loser. Nothing of value was lost.

The bcash and ethereum ones kill me

🫡

Lesson in there that the only one still holding is the one who knew how to manage money even before getting orange pilled.

I knew a guy who had over 2 BTC at one point back in 2016/17 and sold it all to pay the vet bills for his neighbor’s sick cat that died anyway.

A former friend who was the catalyst to finally get me to buy my first bitcoin in 2015 ended up selling his 5 btc after the 2017/2018 bear market to buy a depreciating asset aka a brand new car. We aren't friends anymore, but i can only imagine he regretted that.

that's terrible about that cat. more honourable way to lose it most

You can lead a horse to water.

You can even watch them drink.

But you can’t keep them from pissing it into their oatmeal later.

~ Bitcoin Proverb

Not trying to be a jerk but this list has me thinking. Were they all really orange pilled? I don't consider buying some bitcoin orange pilled. Based on your description most don't sound orange pilled at all. Sound fiat minded.

You can’t orange pill people. That’s the point. Everyone either orange pills themselves or not.

I don't think one can truly get orange pilled unless one needs to - and that need is different depending on one's life situation...

Very Interesting 🧐

Sorry for your loss

Moral of the story- do not get orange pilled by the HODL. The famous friend who hit on your wife also had a sizable stack too 🤦‍♂️. He is probably voting for Kamala Harris so he can be unburdened by what has been.

yikes man

dont tell anyone how much bitcoin you have

HODL lost all in “boating accidents”

Amazing

Highlights the importance of my mantra “stay solvent keep firing”.

It is one thing to own bitcoin.

It’s an entirely different thing holding on to that Bitcoin with dear life through thick and thin hell or high water rain sleet or snow

It is a battle .. a war .. you must fight to protect your stack by any means necessary

This list tells me that the hardest part is not "getting rich", its "staying rich"

There wont be much people in the 1% hodlers

The road to the promised land is littered with corpses.

don't do it mate. Do not.

Strange. My record is better so far: 5 out of 7 people are still hodling on and are happy 🤔

Heres my list:

1) No one listened and no one bought

2) im still considered being dumb

😂😔 Keep your heads up. 💪🏻

SAME, COVID TOO. UGH

yup. Were dumb and insane

This is why I don’t push BTC too much.

If you don’t understand it long-term, you lose it as fast as you got it.

I remember your story about the friend that then tried it on with your wife

Sad…

How friendship can be proven to be so shallow

I wonder what your stats are digitally…? My hunch: you’ve managed to help a LOT of people HODL

👏👏👏

Digitally my stats are very good. But not so much irl. No man is a prophet in his own land.

I stopped trying to help years ago & it brought much peace.

I buy for my family members that don’t know I’m doing it & will give BTC to them in the distant future.

Outside of family I don’t give a shit to be honest. Buy stocks or ETF’s or the S&P or keep in savings. I DONT CARE.

Dude. “No man is a prophet in his own land” is fuckin’ spot on.

From experience It’s so fucking true.

Sounds prophetic.

I ended up reading the gospel this morning as a result of this. I’m trying to believe yet still do not. In any case it was a fun read this morning while my family slept.

This is a very liberating approach I totally agree. It seems to go hand-in-hand with length of HODL

Once you first really “get Bitcoin” it seems so insanely amazing all you want to do is talk about it

But over time you realise that many other people don’t care, won’t care for some time, & your time is more valuable elsewhere

Ones nearest and dearest can the be the hardest to teach

This applies in many areas. Eg I got qualified as a ski teacher as a teenage, last person my siblings wanted coaching from was me!

So much wasted potential. Meanwhile I've been stacking since 2021 and don't even have half a coin 🫠

I would argue most were never orange-pilled to begin with.

💯

Retail massacre is horribly bullish.

Really sorry about your father.

How's wifey's coworker doing? Checked in recently?

I did have a mate who I orange pilled in 2017 and he ploughed over 3BTC in to Dragonchain ico. Poor bastard went off reservation after round tripping that one to the moon and doom.

Great bloke though.

Nice work

Interesting most sold or traded away

I've orange pilled a few people. 2 bought a small amount and then gave in to FUD which stopped them buying more. One sees it as I do and is stacking now I beleive. He better he just moved to JPY and is being paid in Yen😐

must have been you I've heard talk about 4 in a podcast maybe a few months ago.

tldr: the rich get richer

So you were only semi successful?

Moral of the story: always HODL, never sell

So you orange pilled one of them?

Also sorry about your dad

Two and a half. I'd count it as three...maybe more if his dad's inheritors still HODL.

Orange pilling requires education. Just buying btc doesn't cut it.

Sorry about your dad, HODL. I lost mine recently. He was a G. 🫗🫂

Damn dude sorry for you too. I’d be in bits.

Yeah fair.

Orange pill doesn’t have a strict definition but for me it’s they properly grok bitcoin and at least hold some btc properly 🔐

Yeah that was a really sad detail. 😔

Now imagine the 6.15 roster

Number 5 spent 7 bitcoin partying 😂

#1 IN MY BOOK

kudos but they kinda forgot the rule of nobody knows how much you hold..

how do you successfully orange pill so many people? asking for a friend

I just tell people about the returns of the past decade, digital scarcity (21M), decentralization and fast transactions without third parties. Works quite well, orange pilled almost the whole family. 😅✌🏻

Sad History but the future still comes

People I orange pilled in real life.

1. Brother - is stacking hard to reach 0.5 BTC

2. Mother - happy to own 0.1 BTC, thinking about stacking more

3. Daughter - owns her first 300k sats

4. Wife - put a monthly salary into Bitcoin so far

It’s not that much it might seem but they all hold their Bitcoin in self custody and bought during bear market. Doing the best I can to educate them along the road and help them hodling. ✌🏻

#Bitcoin #Orangepill

I would like to say you did a good job. kkk

#4 smh

Add yourself to the list if you are self-pilled. Will definitely improve the stats as well.

I'd list my BTC associations, but nobody cares.

GO ON

BRUTAL TO GO FROM BTC TO SHT. OUCH

You have a HODL army in the interwebs.
