I once try to persuade a friend from an old job to buy some corn while it was cheap. I think it was trading around 6k

He had a 50k deposit on an underground gambling place where they could bet on anything and everything… one day we were talking about the corn and I told him, how about you take half of that and make a bet on this thing? Or if that’s too much, get 3 or 4 and once it goes up you decide whether to sell or not…

Days passed and he was thinking about it and we talked for a few hours during those days. He got excited and almost jumped on it. But he happened to talked to his boomer friend and told him not to do it…

He decided not to invest. I was like, you are going to regret this decision lol after that we don’t talk about investing anymore..

I think a month or two passes and the price goes to 10k, I hadn’t said anything and he tells me you were right. Humbling moment tbh…

I tell him you are not too late, still time to get in. He decides once more not to buy and never did

Life is this strings of options sometimes

Idk why I wrote this long note… just wanted to share a failed orange pill moment lol nostr:note1mnv4p8utds37fql3eml33ustfuapuvgnnrhdl3sqk6mwd44urpjq65ryjp

Take advantage of things even if not completely understood is the moral of the story?

We've all prolly been through this one way or another as bitcoiners. The true visionaries as my newfound RE investor likes to call us.

It was gambling money for him. Still wouldn’t do it 🤷‍♂️

They are conditioned to think nothing is going to last long term unless it's already been around forever.

A friend of my new was legitimately surprised bitcoing was 'still a thing' when this recent price action put it back on his radar.

Maybe we need to focus more on stressing to normies that this is going to outlive all of us multiple times over.

Ehhh that was the last time I truly tried to save someone. After that, I learnt my lesson and now I keep quiet except for in nostr 🤣🤣🤣

Sorry for the grammatical errors in this piece 😅
