After 10 years of telling my dad to buy Bitcoin, he never has, but today he called me to buy Trump coin🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. Do I buy it for him so he can learn a lesson? Of course, buying way less than the $10,000 he is asking, or refuse? He thinks it's going to be a legal currency in the USA 🤦♂️. The performance of the coin is kind of surprising, considering only Kraken has it listed, so you have to buy Solana and then swap to Trump coin. Meaning, when Robinhood and Coinbase list it, a flood of new suckers will be coming in. Trump has become the most successful shitcoiner. This is an embarrassment. Preying on the ignorant.

You hate on Monero, but let your family buy literal shitcoins.
Bitcoiners these days... Speechless
I do not hate on privacy. Monero is an okay tool to spend its a pretty shitty place to park money. Id love to see more privacy come to Bitcoin.
I'd love to see more privacy on Bitcoin, too. After 5 years in Bitcoin I gave on it in 2015. Team ossification and fiat NGU didn't want it to happen. 10 years later and no proposal in sight.
Bitcoin will never be money, as fungibility is necessary for that.
I use Monero to store private wealth. I do invest in Bitcoin and sometimes even other speculative shitcoins to increase my private wealth. But I am not married to my investment bags.
When SHTF I'll have a comfortable and untouchable Monero stack.
The Swedish central bank sometimes create "celebration coins", e.g. royal weddings etc see picture below.
Convince your father to by a small symbolic amount of Trump coin, as a symbolic "celebration coin" to keep as memory, if he agreees to by the rest in BTC as store of value.
💯
Bitcoin has been called tulip mania for so long that people are desensitized to it when it actually shows up
Trump owns 80% of the coins, valued at $60 billion, and the only reason it's doing well is that most of them aren't in circulation yet. As he starts selling, the demand will also plummet with time. People are getting caught up in the hype. It does not help X and Foxnews pushing this thing so much. What an embarrassment.
Keep calm stack on. Ive no pity for fools
No, unless he can really afford to get rugged and rugged hard.
He can afford it, but I definitely wouldn't buy the amount he's asking for. I don't want my dad losing $10,000. It just blows my mind how, after ten years of not investing in Bitcoin, he trusts Trump that much. I think losing a little money on it might open his eyes to the fact that Trump is a flawed human being and not a god, like he seems to think.
Well, then buy him a 5k of the orange dingleberry and 5k of BTC and tell him to sit on them until the end of Trump's term, no matter what. That's your condition for helping him.
Actually a great idea! Thanks. Will open his eyes even more in the long term. Orange coin > Orange Man
This situation makes me think of the quote that "no man is a prophet in his hometown". In our parents' eyes we will always be children.
If it was me, I would tell him: "Sorry, because I love you, I will not do it for you. If you wanna buy it, you have to do it yourself." Clean hangs.
2017 all over again, but with a president at the helm of the Shitcoin 😅
Like nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle was implying, seeing Trump’s “strategy” only makes El Salvador’s playbook look more mature than ever before 💜
#bitcoin not #Trumpcoin
I hear you Ivan. My case is the opposite: I´m the Dad and my son is into these shitties, even if I say no💩
Don‘t do it! It will be the biggest rugpull ever.
at first i thought trump really believed it, but as so often, it was too good to be true.
Actually very disappointing
My 2 sats… offer to buy him his Trump shitcoin only if he buys 3 X that amount in bitcoin and HODLs it for minimum 4 years… he will get what he wants and learn his lesson, and become a bitcoiner as well… win win
Good Morning Nostr. We settled on $5,000 Trump and $5,000 Bitcoin. I appreciate those who pitched the idea to me 🙏💜. My dad finally bought Bitcoin, and it took me negotiating because he doesn't know how to buy Trump coin himself 😂. Bitcoin is already outperforming. Long-term, it will slaughter it. Hopefully, this opens his eyes to the fact that Trump is not a god - he's a flawed human blinded by greed as well. I've got a feeling my dad will do mental gymnastics to defend Trump even after he gets rugged by Trump 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. THERE IS NO SECOND BEST.
The Apple fell far from the tree on this one 🤣
