I’ve been trying to actively seek out the arguments against bitcoin again lately, and sadly, I am just seeing all of the same BS rehashed over and over.

It’s sad that these people won’t just bend the knee, eat the crow pie, and admit they were wrong and that bitcoin changes everything.

This is the real existential angst of what Bitcoin does and is, and it demands that you go through the deepest levels of philosophy and first principals thinking to accomplish it, of which many are unwilling to do; which is why they are either no-coiners or shitcoiners.

A lot of people just need time to understand it. Our economic system is not set up to give most the time to do it.

The only reason I came to try to understand bitcoin is by being in-between jobs for a month, and I was at a crossroads of what exactly to do investment wise moving forward.

It really gave me the time to finally think outside the box.

I had heard of bitcoin, but had dismissed it as missing out on the pump that would eventually fizzle out with nothing actually underlying it.

Had I not tried to learn about bitcoin, I’d still just be plowing every extra dollar into the sp500 through a 401k or Roth IRA primarily.

Not the worse way to live life, but you’re still locking yourself in til retirement and then guesstimating end of life expenses the longer you live and the less fiat gets you.
