Trying to talk to fedis about bitcoin is a fool's errand. They're all bitter and insisting it's a ponzi scam and claiming I'm a sucker. I'm like,"I bought in back in 2011 when it was trading at $6.50. It just hit $100k. I don't feel particularly scammed." They followed up accusing me of being one of the scammers who's taking advantage of others. WTF?? Who are these people?

A special bunch.
It's so crazy how misinformed these people are, and how they have this emotional anger about it. I think it's jealousy. I guarantee they were introduced to Bitcoin a while ago. Maybe several times. And they scoffed at it, and cast it aside. Now that their predictions of doom and gloom have hilariously not panned out, they're bitter and regretful, and so they've turned against it and everyone who didn't make their dumb decision.
Because on the surface that’s exactly what it looks like 🤣
I don't see it. A ponzi scam involves getting people to invest, and then paying those people back with new investor's money. Rinse and repeat until it collapses. I don't see how that fits Bitcoin, even at the surface.
