Instead of admitting i was right, one day, some of my current no-coiner friends are going to be mad at me for not pushing it harder. 🤷
Discussion
For real.
They'll just stop talking entirely. They don't want to face it. They probably aren't even cognizant of why they feel uneasy when they see you now.
Good point. I've already grown away from most friends. And it goes beyond bitcoin. It's a lot of things. I won't still be talking to the ones that might say, "why didn't you tell me"! They are already gone.
Same. Already gone. I hope they get some and just forget me - that way they can be happy with it without comparing themselves with me (which is absurd) and thinking its unfair that I knew earlier.
Its easy to forget when we are avoiding those feelings. They probably will at least forget the details of how much sense you were making.
Just yesterday someone called me "insane" -- because I mentioned Obama's drone assassination of American citizens. Not bitcoin, but if they can't even reach that low bar, there's not much hope for them
Pure emotional reaction. It's insane. This is why I don't get out much.
That's the biggest problem with orange pilling. You spend so much time arguing and getting made fun of that you become desensitized to other people's feelings.
I told friends and co-workers who made 3X as much money as me to buy some bitcoin when it was $400.00. I was literally a laughing stock.
Sometimes I forget about that. Like I need to go to a family party today and talk to some of the people who laughed at me. It's akward now.
Its strange how duluded we can be when we are avoiding feelings. I said this as a hypothetical bit the truth is I don't really talk to anyone, family or friends, that I was talking to at the time I started learning about bitcoin. It's strange. I feel it's bigger than btc. Almost feels like people who have given up and submitted vs ones who still believe we can be free.
Deep.
Some will even stop talking to you.
