A lot of Bitcoiner’s are addicted to their status as loser underdogs.
We’re winning.
Get used to it.
You’re about to be the new wealthy elite.
Prepare accordingly.

I don’t find this to be the case at all. Depends on who you surround yourself with.
You're saying I should sell my stack to keep my loser underdog status?
“Don’t trust. Verify.” applies here. Campaign promises are cheap.
It’s bullish that we’re a pander-worthy class. It means spineless politicians will at least claim to support our interests.
I don’t expect the cartel of bankers who benefit from dollar hegemony to just give up their power however.
Fair point, but the reality has fundamentally changed due to the technological breakthrough. No option but to get used to the new sound money faster than the speed of commerce.
I know that and you know that but Joe blow doesn’t. Which means that while the ultimate outcome is foreknown to us, the path is not.
Will we win? Yes. Will we win immediately and without opposition? I think it’s unlikely.
I certainly feel like the loser underdog right now.
Are you all in? No? That might be why. 🤷♂️
I'm so cash poor I had to be a forced seller last month to pay my mortgage.
Possibly why I'm depressed lol.
Do you have a job?
I am self employed and lost some clients so my income was reduced.
Time to get some more clients bid. What do you do?
Computer repair perpetually transitioning to small biz msp
Sorry to hear that. Tough line of work to be in where most people are becoming self sufficient at maintaining their own computers and or they're cheap enough that they just go buy a new one.
Have you considered getting another job and being employed elsewhere? Having lost clients, surely gives you more free time to consider building a new skill or doing something else productive with that free time.
No I just need to up my game and go for bigger companies but it's very cut throat
You don't want to end up a salty npub who got out stacked by the suburban moms once they realize the status symbol of bitcoin and dump all their bullshit for sats!
Wealthy elite .. that sounds horrible title ..
okay so if I will be out of home and I need water I will buy a bottle of water at double price in some random place instead of wait for coming home to drink, is that you intend as "new wealthy elite"???
🫡 hold onto your butts
The term "nostrpleb" was motivation for me to make my own relay and host my own domain. I knew I wasn't a pleb. nostrplebs is however, why I originally came on board. So many thanks to nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 The new wealthy elite are all welcome at my cyber citadel happytavern.
"You’re about to be the new wealthy elite."

GFY
You don’t get to tell me or anyone else why I bitcoin. Ok champ? GFY

NGU "Bitcoiners" only want increased purchasing power and will sell out bitcoins censorship resistance to get it.
they are misguided idiots.
NGU increases censorship resistance. It's all part of the game theory.
You sir, are the one misguided.
you're just repeating stuff you've read online.
there is no direct corollation between NGU and censorship resistance.
one metric is a fiat measurement of buying power. largely driven by speculative investment by degens.
the other metric is a complex matrix of technical and social factors. many of those factors are *against* censorship resistance when number goes up.
Sorry
nuanced argument on social media.
won't happen again.
Lol I'm not repeating anything I read online... It's simple game theory. If you don't get it or didn't understand, I don't have time to explain it to you. Sorry.
tell me you read "the bitcoin standard" and stopped there without telling me...
wealth doesn’t make you winner necessarily, right. proof of work does most of the times
I’m used to winning so I can’t relate to the commie ops . But btc is def my biggest win
The tax man already considers me to be the wealthy elite, unfortunately.
The only thing I want to do with my wealthy elite status is spend more time with my kids and free more bitcoiners.
I've got my monicle and tophat 🎩 on standby
If you were coaching a beginner, how would you instruct them to 'prepare accordingly'?
Stack as many sats as possible.
Tell as few normal people as possible.
Spend as little as possible.
Make as many bitcoin friends as possible.
Learn as much as possible.
Start thinking seriously about security.
love it, although when you say "spend as little as possible" do you mean don't spend sats? or spend as little fiat as possible? cos I'm a big believer in "spend and replace" 😋
