I HATE that saying... (except when applied to be who go on anti-BTC diatribes, like Peter Schiff)
There are so many good people out there who for many life reasons are just not ready or receptive to the idea, especially with so much shitcoin/NFT fuckery clouding the market. No you are not a better or smarter person just because you bought Bitcoin earlier, you just had the right set of friends or circumstances that allowed you to keep an open mind.
To me I feel lucky and privileged to have gotten orange pilled even relatively late in 2021 (I meet k00b in 2017 and laughed at him when he told me owned BTC ðŸ˜)

"We are so early."
...as if bitcoin is inevitable (another one I disagree with). I always read this as a rationalization for bad UX, lack of user adoption, or a lack of awareness by the general public.

Haha yup, people saying you can get rich HODLing 0.1 BTC are quite mistaken. Even if BTC flips gold that's just a 10x from here as a semi realistic ceiling. Still better than most stocks and holding fiat but not life changing...

It's more of an misunderstanding.
'Never sell' is 'never sell because of the price'.
Alternatively is use Bitcoin (when you need it) rather than selling Bitcoin

How about "Fix the money, fix some potentially major problems in the world"?
For me, it's "Have fun staying poor"

"everything is good for bitcoin"
I think are failure modes that result from governments being too friendly to bitcoin.

Yeah, I agree with this one. First off it sounds delusional. Second it is not something that gives me confidence at all since its easy to become complacent if this is all you hear. I would much rather hear steel man arguments about how it could fail. When I started reading things like that and started thinking about game theories it made me far more bullish. Hearing a bunch of young men full of over-confidence say dumb things with their chests out doesn't do anything for me. I think many bitcoiners are signaling a LACK of confidence when they respond with bravado. They are like a mirror of the tradfi boomers who mock bitcoin. All talk.
It reminds me of Christians that get angry when people ask hard questions. It comes from insecurity. When you know a topic and have conviction in your beliefs you welcome hard questions. You don't fear or resent them. I wish bitcoin had better opponents. People with better arguments about how it could fail, most are really lame and it leads to over-confidence.

People need icons and ideas to aspire to and to feel a sense of belonging.
This is why religion and governments are so universal.
Even secularists believe in their own ideologies and get a sense of collective belonging and security from such ideologies.
It is natural as humans are weak alone, but strong in groups.
Libertarian ideologs have a lot to learn about life. DNA and the reality of existence.

Naive Libertarians who think the state is a wholly oppressive and burdensome apparatus when the truth is they would be shivering helpless wrecks without its provision of law and order, security and economic framework.
Bitcoin is important because the banks and governments have over reached their positions of trust and power and need to be returned to being subservient to citizens and free markets- fiat money is not a free market but a corrupt and rigged state imposed monopoly operated by private bankers who in turn have too much control and influence over government. Bitcoin can (hopefully) fix this.
