Talked to a friend tonight who had a few coins at some point. He leans more left, got scared of Trump and said markets would crash so he sold around $65k. Says he's sitting in high yield savings and will just pay off his house when he can.

Broke my heart.

He bought on knowing me but never really read books or heard podcasts so his understanding never grew

sad, being scared of politicians is the best reason to buy more, he fucked up

yeah, it came down to understanding and it's clear he didn't get it

Dudes a hard working dad, family guy, loyal and a good engineer. 3 coins would have paid off his house, bought him more time with his family and protected him from politicians

I sent books and podcasts etc so it's all there in front of him

You’re a good friend

This is ironic because I remember nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx talking about how lefty aunt buying some finally because she thought Trump would debank her.

she changed her mind two weeks later and now hates it again šŸ˜‚

Bummer šŸ˜•

Ouch, that must sting a little!

It does, I was hopeful to see it change his life

Sad… but even more sad, it’s so common… I don’t even help people buy bitcoin anymore unless they finish The Bitcoin Standard… no proof of work, no help and advice… tired of watching people wreck themselves with stupid decisions

Pain is the ultimate educator. Hopefully he will learn from the pain.
