This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Remember the kind of people who got really into NFTs and lost everything? That's exactly the kind of people who got really into bitcoin 15 years ago, they just happened to get extremely lucky this one time. There's a reason why most bitcoin millionaires are such incompetent douchebags.

Realistically there wasn't that much to lose if you mined instead of invested. NFTs is a different story.

The cope. Nobody could have predicted this! Except all the people who predicted it. But that was just luck!

It has had some amazing leaps and made some people a shitload of money. Wouldn't be getting into it myself but sometimes bets do win

You are comparing lemmy with threads. The average bitcoin millionare probably knows the difference.

How many Bitcoin millionaires do you know? Do you think there's a selection bias there and only the douchbags make a big song and dance about it.
