Sounds insane to me that re-using the steel (to name just one part) has no economic return..

Ok so when do you call something Money and when do you call it an Asset ?

Many languages don't have proper words to differentiate betweeh Money and Currency..

I'm dyslectisch so by default have the preference to describe key attributes/functions instead of using the designed words..

I noticed in the little understood disciplines like Money/Economics this helps enormously for most to grasp it way better.

I hate to say this, bit time could be limited.

Understanding #Bitcoin, for most people takes 100's if not 1000's of hours...

It could be wise just to get some...

(yes there are risks yo this advice 🤷‍♂️)

Yes !

For those who understand #Bitcoin is in the value discovery phase I can understand the extreme HODL mentality since it will be a limited time with unprecedented returns.

But to die, poor or not having done what one would have loved to do, just for being able to leave more wealth to your potential offspring, is noble but I ain't that 'perfect'.

Amazing how easy people adopt..🤯

We went from millions to billions to trillions without much fuss.

Mainly because most don't comprehend:

One million seconds is ~11.5 days

One billion seconds is ~31 years

One trillion seconds is ~31,000 years

For most the time sample makes the vast difference better understandable.

These steps are huge, their difference in impact is HUGE.

And in case of debt it becomes NO-SOLVABLE but in the most unthinkable ways.

Get on the #Bitcoin lifeboat !

Haha, some advice to Trump:

Please get your #Bitcoin reserves going BEFORE releasing that data.....

Thank God #Bitcoin is also giving financial incentives.

If it was just for the higher goals #Bitcoin can achieve I'm convinced it would have died...

We, unfortunately, live in an extreme individualistic society (selfish is the word..) I hope #Bitcoin will fix that too, but it is what it is....

It is also the wrong take to expect everyone should have the same chance to study and buy #Bitcoin.

How about older generations, how about those to young to understand or make their own decisions, or those need to be born.

We are just incredible lucky to be alive in the right time and during the value discovery phase of #Bitcoin.

It is those who envy us for that, that have a problem.

Life is not fair, Darwinism is nice, sorry !

I don't care that much about a country, but it also goes for individuals, and that I DO care about (ok some of them).

Meme coins are not even the biggest problem I think.

It is obvious a gamble and if people even consider it as sound money possibility I'm sure we can't help them without some serious effort.

The altcoins are probably a bigger issue.

Not clearly a gamble and some have made a convincing story about one or two key aspect that could trigger a bell and can only be dismissed if the whole context is understood and if so those people would not consider those altcoins in the first place.

From a boring discussion on Monero I just had I realize it could wel be those arguing that their altcoin is a better alternative actually don't understand the whole context themselves.

So in that case it is even harder to find the flaws that with people with bad intentions usually is to be found.

Well it is hard to state but "I don't have the time".

These people are pretty convinced they are right.

and as usual just getting them to the point they are willing to doubt their belief or are listening to argument is exhausting.

Most will have to learn the hard way

It is one of those memes that overshoot.

The Hodl meme started as not trying to trade the ups and downs of #Bitcoin.

It changed for many to "Hold On for Dear Life".

To just "never sell" which doesn't make much sense.

Spend and replace makes perfect sense (while one has fiat).

Once you can retire on #Bitcoin what would be the reason not to spend some or most of it ?

Sure, why do I believe your NGU mentality is exactly why you have the need to promote your shitcoin on a Bitcoin forum...

I don't even believe that only half is missing, no way !

You are absolutely right.

And by calling what it is we will soon find out 98% doesn't like responsibility, in fact most hate it !

They have a Pavlov reaction to hold up their hand 🫴

Sound money is in that context just a start.

Hopefully it will reform governments since people with enough #Bitcoin will move to a better jurisdiction.

But it will take time and must be fought for.

Calling names and other toxic behavior won't make your favorite coin a better one than it is.

Talking about pathetic...!!! !

You serious mean people leave, the best Money available, because some opinions by strangers on the internet ?

Well I guess best of luck to them !

Makes me wonder...

Those who are complaining or bitching about it are they just non-users ?

I really don't have much I would like to change about Lightning except more people should try it and especially accept it as payment service.

Time will solve that anyway.

It is shocking to see what short time frame most people care about and how ridiculous the expectations are.

It is the best performing asset ever, but still people expect more faster 🤦‍♂️.

I don't know anyone putting in what spare fiat they had and not being shocked at the returns after 2 or more cycles.

The biggest problem I had with Monery is the Privacy.

Try to buy a house, car, start a company, you will have to be able to prove where the money is coming from.

You may hate that fact but it is reality.

With #Bitcoin I can easily proof how, where and when I bought them, I just keep records as backup since my banks, brokers needs to do so by law and don't make a hassle moving funds one way or he other.

Now how do you do this with Monero ?

I don't care if I can anonymously pay for my groceries and be 'free'.

One is merely surviving if you can only by groceries.

I want to be able to spend money on everything, and I want to be a bit higher on the ladder than surviving.
