Replying to Avatar HODL

A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. “It’s always a good time”. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. “Every time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.”

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. “I can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like you”. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like “sorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean it”. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.

Bitcoin is a friendship killer but wow that’s especially bad hitting on Mrs hold

It was honestly more sad and pathetic than anything, because if you knew Mrs. AH in real life she is really not the one to try this shit on lol 😂 she was not having it.

I'm not trying to be mean... Well, maybe a little. But what exactly was the opportunity proposition? Hey, leave the good looking rich guy for me, a dude who can't afford to go to the zoo? Gotta use your noggin lol

lol I told my wife she’s welcome to go if she’d like. She was repulsed lol 😂

Loll I remember she was pretty based on bt

She’s honestly more based than I am lol

Yeah I remember she was on my side about vaxs when you were still on the fence 😂 man that sucks this is why I have such few friends left too, bds

At the time I thought the vax was probably fine from a risk standpoint for really fat and really old people. It became clear to me about midway through what a disaster it really was. I went from being generally pro vax at the start of the pandemic to generally anti vax now. It’s so crazy how we can’t trust anything anymore. I think part of me was holding onto normalcy for longer than I should have. Now it’s clear. The world is very much not the way we thought it was. Covid shattered all my remaining fiat beliefs in half.

Covid was bigger than 9/11 as far as psyops go. The biggest one of anyone’s lifetime currently living. I never thought I would see Chinese level tyranny in America and how many supposed peers were mini tyrants as soon as they got scared and questioned their mortality. Glad you woke up to the vaxs just in time 🤝. That and btc were the killer trades
