It's one thing to be skeptical of Bitcoin when you first hear about it. It's hard to believe that such an odd architecture could survive the test of time.

And yet, the folks who have by far taken the biggest L are those who were on the cypherpunks mailing list, said it would never work, and continue to deny the past 14 years of evidence to the contrary.

Denial is not just a river in Africa

Dude. Is there a river in Africa called denial. I need to know and noone else is asking.

Alright you got me

Perry today:

#Bitcoin does benefit me, therefore it is useful

To understand Bitcoin, you need a broad understanding of many systems. Technology, economics, game theory, etc.

These folks might be smart coders but that isn’t sufficient.

Amazing... Even if I was skeptical to the adoption, I would have at least been convinced of the technology itself by my understanding of it and bought a little.

'Eat all the worlds power' , so took zero time to understand it before writing it off then.

The saltiest nocoiners are the ones who passed up on bitcoin years ago.

With every price point bitcoin reaches and also staying alive makes it stronger. Even if people missed the cheaper prices the fact that it is not dying and seeing higher prices actually results in self fulfilling prophecy. It is a good time to get in "most of the time".

Some people are either retarded or captured 🤷‍♂️

Late adopter mentality

My new term “peak Bitcoin!”

It's fine. Some people just like being poor.

Perry needs to read this. Or at least contemplate the title.

Maybe an idea to resume the conversation. Four years have past maybe his ideas have changed.

Probably nowadays a mod on the Buttcoin subreddit.

Dude never went to a third world country
