10 sats \ 3 replies \ @BallLightning 9h \ on: Will bitcoiners be the hated class of the future? bitcoin
I must admit that I have seen many bitcoiners (in the internet, not in real life) that support bitcoin with the same arguments that shitcoiners support their own shitcoin. Yeah, these people are on the right side, but not due to them gaining knowledge. So for them calling them lucky won't be far from the truth.
Anyway, luck or not, hate from other people will be due to plain old envy, nothing more.
I would advise people to stack bitcoin for themselves, not to gain other people's admiration. I would go as far as to advise the opposite - to hide that you have bitcoin. This plain old envy that i mentioned can sometimes be dangerous to the successful person.
envy + desperation are lethal , i don't talk about bitcoin for example irl

That is good. But many people crave the validation from others (see, I was right) or want to "win" the superiority contest (by showing others that they are more successful. In the later case they even gain satisfaction from others envying them.
But it is best if one doesn't give in to these desires (if one has such desires in the first place).

yes, unfortunately, many people have the desire to flex. luckily i couldn't care less :)
in the 90s my wife's mum ran a stall at a market in Russia and the successful merchants that bought fancy coats were the first to get extorted and some even killed. they have a good saying - 'money likes silence'
