These are things people often say who got in early.

For someone who bought bitcoin 4 years ago and has not kept up with inflation, it hurts. Particularly in a time when many other investments have increased substantially on a relative basis.

Bitcoiners are great at rejoicing/dunking on people when bitcoin is rising relative to other assets. But then when price action is poor, the comment is "I don't care about the price"

Its kind of silly. The purchasing power of a money (or an investment) is one of it's most important qualities given the money can't be used for anything other than trade for a good/service that a human actually needs.

There is a reason we celebrate the price going up dramatically. It is OK to be sad when the opposite happens and shiny rocks destroy bitcoin performance 1 year.

I did what I thought was right, when everyone else told me I was wrong.

I didn't bitch and cry during all the bear markets of the past. I kept earning btc and holding.

I'm not going to apologize for winning.

You were always one of the few people whose voice helped me stay sane during past bear markets when everyone was screaming that the sky was falling. 🫂👊

"I'm not going to apologize for winning."

Exactly that. You put the work in and you had patience.

bro just sell your stack if it’s not working for u

Gold after a historic 75% green year in 2025 still has slightly less than a 10% CAGR on a 15 year basis.

Now imagine how much pain gold bugs have endured to simply be flat vs debasement on a 15 year timeframe.

One year charts are irrelevant. 10 years or more for SoV, minimum.

The Bitcoiners i know don't "dunk" on anyone.

Your comments seem to mainly consider bitcoin in dollars. I've only been stacking for almost 4 years, and the price isn' t that important to me. Lower price means more sats per dollar...

Came for the price, stayed for the freedom tech and long view. If the dollar price cut in half again, I'd stack twice as much. 😊

Of course, mainly thinking in terms of retirement money or a legacy one day, rather than market price today. To each their own... Different priorities. 😉
