"Bitcoin is a scam and you will regret buying it!"

I still have acquaintances and family who swear Bitcoin is a scam and that I’ll regret buying it. I remind them it’s been around for more than 15 years. The reality is, too many people missed their chance. Instead of admitting it, it’s easier to dismiss Bitcoin as a bubble, a Ponzi scheme, a scam and to call me stupid for buying when the price was a few hundred dollars. Back then, they laughed when I said I bought and told them they should too.

Now, if I don’t sell, I’m an even bigger fool, because in their minds Bitcoin is going straight to zero and I’ll lose everything.

Here’s the thing: calling me an idiot doesn’t bother me. It only makes them feel worse. And if I really am an idiot, then watching me succeed makes it sting even more. Some people just can’t stand seeing those they once thought were dumber than them win. And boy, does it feel good. Keep stacking!!
