Stay humble and extra quiet the higher she goes.


leo_the_lion6

Yea I've found people thoroughly dont give a shit if you preach bitcoin, ESPECIALLY if it's "I told you so", also if you get people to invest and it dips then you look like an A hole, so yes, best to stay quiet regardless imo (maybe unless someone brings it up to you first)


shagreezz3

The thing is, people who dont care or believe in bitcoin are always gonna feel its too late to invest anyway while it continues to rise


leo_the_lion6

Ehh, I think if it continues on its trajectory, it could be seen as a mainstream/stable asset in the future like bonds or gold. Once financial advisors start recommending it (not just as a high risk gamble), then I think those types will start holding some BTC. They will be late adopters though for sure


TAYwithaK

Hey we can’t all be rich, hell you think I’m power washing my own fucking statues?


Syonoq

This is me. I’m not a believer, but as an investor it’s hard for me to not feel like I’m buying the top. I’ve got some early adopter friends though….and they’re quiet and Humble about it.


Archtects

I brought in 2016, 2018, 2022. I told my parents about it in 2016 and 2018, they kept telling me I was an idiot and lost all my money every time it crashed back down. I’ve stopped telling them. I’m up well over 1000% now. I just stay silent and collect. My wife is the only one who knows I buy, but she doesn’t even fully know how much I have.


itllbefine21

I told by bestie when we both are millionaires he owes me a beer. If not I owe him one. Might be funny to rent a limo to catch a ride to work and ask if anyone has any Grey Poupon before my shift. Lol I'm such a dik. But that's my humor.


wronglyzorro

I told you so never benefits you positively outside of the first few seconds of dopamine hit you get form saying it. More people should say less, and be happy with their own success.

That's right. No trace of a doubt, who needs to gloat when BTC is doing what it's doing?


ProduceMelodic7374

She. I like that


SpaceToadD

Oh yeah bitcoin is definitely a she. Constantly crashing down and shooting up. But she’s always loyal and never lies. She’s worth it.


clicksanything

She bipolar as FUCK


Day_C_Metrollin

> But she’s always loyal and never lies. Lol.


opticsreverso

This guy fucks


DarkHorseStoryTeller

Exactly. Anyone can say "I told you so" when shit goes right. Stay humble, do you, and leave everyone to doubt or join in at their own time.


Micksar

I’ve stopped talking about it. Annoyed my friends and family to death the past two years. If they didn’t do it then… I’m not going to encourage they FOMO in now.


rach2bach

My parents have a non-insignificant amount of Bitcoin that they are holding onto and they're in their 70s... They're up almost 150%... Not everyone that's older is a moron thankfully.


Fun-Window-4100

My dad bought long ago. When BTC did a 4x, he sold the 25% to cover the expenses, kept hodling the rest until his very end, a few weeks ago. I am only sorry he could not live to see this last 2x.


rach2bach

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope the keys were bequeathed to your family and that you use some to celebrate his life.


SuperiorT

Who got his keys after he passed?


Micksar

I was very careful with my folks. I wanted them to buy in, but they don’t understand it and they weren’t even comfortable hearing about my DCA routine as the price was falling this bear cycle… so I didn’t push it. I don’t want to be the reason they get involved with something they don’t understand or believe in. Especially one this volatile. This volatility is dangerous in the hands of people who aren’t actually interested in or believe in the asset. The volatility is a blessing for those who have the time and patience and understanding. They would have been the former.


SnapShotKoala

my 65 year old mum was telling me to buy bitcoin at 3500 Im an idiot and didn't listen to her, shes an idiot because she never bought any. lol


Frogolocalypse

hmmm... I wonder if there's a theory to explain it?


Ok-Feeling7673

"Non-insignificant" A.K.A. Significant


dungeonmaster77

If anything they’ll come to you now that Bitcoin is gonna be all over the news again.


prkr88

This is the truth. Already had 4 mates inquire how to buy it. I tell them I'm out the game, lost it in a boating accident....


RealCheyemos

🎯


heisindc

This. I've dropped enough hints and told people I'm holding. Even after it hit 50k before, people said I should have sold and I replied "I'm not selling." You don't have to remind anyone. They know. They know.


jerseyhound

As someone who's been accumulating since 2016, I feel a sense of deep zen and ambivalence.


BadSysadmin

Do not do the "I told you so". Nothing to be gained except stroking your ego, lots to lose.


Bruised_Shin

Also I add in if forced to comment, “we’re at an all time high now so I can’t advise you to invest now, that’s at your own risk”


Res_Ipsa77

I say something similar. The best time to start to buy in may not be at an all time high.


Bongressman

Don't tell them so. When the next winter hits and Bitcoin is down 70%... family conversations get, awkward.


genius_retard

Nah that's when you say "I'm telling you again".


rothschilDGreat

Lol that's so accurate 🤣 just buy the fucking dip, it's so simple


typtyphus

"what loss? I'm still up 500%"


bigsam2

Humility but carry a big stick.


Holisticmystic2

That stick being Bitcoin

purpsizurp

Nah, stay humble. Results speak for themselves.


[deleted]

I’m transitioning to “say nothing to anyone about your now extremely valuable asset”


CMK227

I got someone to buy one full bitcoin at 20k after 3 years of telling him to invest in it. Well just found out that he sold at 17k shortly after buying it. Now he’s telling me he lost money in bitcoin and not going to touch it. Sometimes you can’t make this shit up. Telling people one or twice but if they are too stupid to listen not pushing anyone anymore.


MrBigDickPickledRick

Sometimes it's best to let people come to their own conclusions. We all want the best for the people we love but if they don't understand what they're buying they shouldn't be getting into it. Some people can't handle the volatility and that's completely fine, no need to pressure them into it.


yeastblood

Tale as old as time. I had a friend do almost literally the same thing. Even when I told him to not panic sell. Did it anyways then blames Bitcoin for his own dumbass actions.


outofobscure

they already know they fucked up, no need to rub it in. in fact, it's probably even more humiliating if you don't say anything at all.


MOONDAYHYPE

Money talks, wealth whispers. Live quietly.


matthegc

parkranger2000

Damn I would but there was this terrible boating accident


musterramme

I stay humble since 2017. First time because i was 90% down, second time because i was to greedy. And now? I plan to sell half of it at the end of this week.


901-526-5261

What will trigger you to sell? Certain number? Certain percentage gain/loss?


iAbc21

he’s taking his gains and mitigate stress.


diadlep

Then don't sweat the humble, instead stay sane. If you sell half now and we go to 300k, you need to be able to be happy with the profits you took.


StPeir

Stay humble. The ultimate I told you so is financial independence. When you retire (whatever that looks like for you) and they ask how while they are still trapped in the rat race then you can remind them that you tried to give them advice


Dense_Firefighter862

no need to remind, they rememebr, stay humble bro


jskol3

I am bullish, however if it stayed at this price and never went higher we’d be disappointed. Lot of room to go - stay humble, but be sure to enjoy these short term wins


turbulentFireStarter

No. Don’t talk to other people about your money or your investments.


MindEracer

Humble has and always will be the best answer.


handybh89

It's not "I told you so" until you take profits, or can officially retire from the Bitcoin that you own.


0x07AD

As with paper loses when in the red, being in the green is only paper profits until you sell and lock-in either a profit or a loss.


All_I_Talk_Is_Tech

Stay humble! Be bigger than Bitcoin! That will speak volumes

Nothing is bigger than bitcoin. There is no second best =D

Not only stay humble, but slowly disappear in the bushes too.

anzel2002

team humble


thebeepboopbeep

Learned long ago stay humble— people you say “told you so” never feel any remorse. It’s also something best to be quiet about in general. If crypto really flies high I’d want to make myself inaccessible to so many people.


Jack_is_Handsome

There's a bitcoin meme of the bitcoin boy holding he's coin as people say he is crazy but he just ignores them. Just do that. Bitcoin has been a thing for a decade now, and investment banks are here. If they can't see the writing on the walls, just let them pass you by.


jellyvish

not with general acquaintances but with my 2 best friends whom ive been best friends with for 20+ years hell yea i rub it in their stupid faces every chance i get… it’s the least i can do to repay them for laughing their asses off at me all the way to when i was down up to 74% overall at one point.


RuachDelSekai

Only idiots flap their gums. Keep your head down and keep pushing forward. You didn't win any race or any prize. There's the next day and the day after that and the day after that to focus on.

Listen boy, there is a quote saying that "bees don't waste their time trying to convince flies that honey is better than shit."


Jamaicanaisa

Both. Stay humble. Never declare your btc holdings. Softly, softly, gently, gently I told you so.


barefootguy83

I bought at the high in 2021 and I'm finally a few hundred in the black after being in the red for 2+ years. I'm not gonna make waiting those 2+ years only worth a couple hundred dollars. I could've made about that much in a high interest savings account. I'm gonna keep holding.

Not at all, Bitcoin is doing the 'told you so' for me. I will shut up and keep stacking.


kurnaso184

Stopped talking about this with friends and family, after I shortly tried to convince them and I couldn't. Don't want to be pressing or annoying to anybody. I was also thinking, if they do buy and mess up, they will blame me. All of the arguments they had were nonsense (quantum fear, regulation will kill it, TPS too low, is the 21M really fixed, etc.) and because of ignorance combined with complete reluctance to do the slightest research. Now, I get sometimes smiles and wows, but other than smiling back, I don't comment. If they want to start again talking, they can. I'd be happy to answer questions and provide help. If they don't, all's fine.

I only have like $60 in bitcoin rn lol but I'm in it for the long run. Like I'm talking 20+ years..


jjgg89

we all start somewhere! keep going!


RadicalAlchemist

Stay humble but confident… but when you do find others who understand, rope off some space to celebrate exclusively and make people wonder how and if they could become as wealthy, intelligent, and good looking as us 🔥😂🙌🚀🔥


PianoSandwiches

I chose both. Ish. Mostly the latter :P I stayed silent for like 2 years and then posted a chart of Bitcoin like a week ago, saying: "Congratulations to everyone who paid attention."


Mindless-Field3012

Here's a feel good story for you guys. When I first got into Bitcoin, December 2017 and I basically put my life savings in at the top. Watched it lose 80%. Had a female colleague come in and she was laughing at me, calling me an idiot etc. because apparently I was too dumb for investing into Bitcoin. Fast forward until November 2021 and I had been DCA'ing ever since. I bump into the same colleague, she's laughing again and in a demeaning tone asks, "So how's your Bitcoin going?".. I pull up a chart, showed her the price last time we spoke vs the price at that time.. And I laughed, then responded "who's laughing now bitch?" She went quiet and acted as though she was impressed but I could clearly see the jealousy. Felt good. These egotistical and arrogant peasants need to be put in their place. But I do also agree it's better strategically to stay quiet and humble.


jjgg89

damn that mustve felt satisfying


thebigshipper

No. It could just as easily still go the other way because we don’t know what we dont know. Have confidence but stay humble.


SagHor1

"Hate to say I told you so" - The Hives. I still remember being the butt of jokes in the IT department when they were worth $100. At that time, the saying was just to buy one BTC just to see what happens. Looks like that IT department didn't have anyone who understood technology back then. They were like Forrest Gump looking confused by an Apple stock. But I never talked about this in our last reunion and nobody brought it up either. I won't have to because everytime they see the news, they'll remember.


PDiddleMeDaddy

I think the best reaction is still a timid, but very satisfied smirk, if someone else brings up the topic.

Don't listen to Alex Becker. He's like the Jim Cramer of crypto. The guy is pretty much always wrong.


person-ontheinternet

I feel it but also if you’re actually ‘in the know’ you understand the price could drop by multiples over the next year. You won’t be able to look so smart then. Best to just buy more and quietly hold.

JonnyBeGoodest

Nope just stay to my self stacking


PelosisPortfolio

It's by far the easiest to say nothing. And when you finally buy a house with little to no debt and people ask how you did it, you just say that you saved in bitcoin. That's it.


Weekly-Craft-9878

Humble.  1. It’s more potent when people feel they discovered it on their own. People don’t listen anyways.  2. Once I started making real gains from BTC, I regretted telling the few people that I did because they knew I was in early and most likely made/ still make assumptions that I’m crushing, which can shake up friend/family dynamics. 


Octopus_Juice

Just stack your BTC and don’t rub it in people’s face. Them being stuck with programmable poor people money(CBDCs) is harsh enough.


SpaceToadD

I won't say shit until it's $1M

MunchieMofo

Its very hard. I’m having some difficult discussions today hahahaha


autoeroticassfxation

I learned a long time ago to keep my mouth shut. It's lose, lose. Let's say they buy on your advice and the price tanks. They'll hate you for it and probably sell in the low like a pussy. Then when the price rises again they'll hate you for having diamond hands when they just had coal hands. Let's say they don't listen to you and don't buy, they hate you for making them wrong. Let's say they buy and win, there's no benefit for you, and they probably won't know when to take a profit. This shit is dangerous and you need to be smart. To win you need to be opposite of the crowd. Sell when there's greed, buy when it's boring.


bbt104

Really depends on who it is and how they treated me 🤣


EarningsPal

Always try to stay humble. Gloating will only draw hate. Humans are smart. You don’t want an enemy human mind working against you. They will observe you until they can cause something to happen to screw up your life. Waste your time. Or at minimum, waste your time and money. You may never know it was them because they designed the action to go undetected.


Incoherentp00rnoises

It’s more that I’m sorry that my friends have to watch my gains when I was pleading with them to buy at 3k . Was never look at me but hey this could be us.


Mike_Hunty

You can advocate for Bitcoin, but don’t brag about your gains or about how you were right. This is the bull run and it’s easy to do that at the moment, but everyone will judge you harder during the bear market.


calis

Since I've said I think it will go beyond a million...Ima shut up for a while.


no___homo

I was done trying to get anyone to understand btc a long time ago.


ShaidarHaran2

The most interesting thing about this rise is how quiet it's been. Last time we were near this ATH grannies were talking to their uber drivers about bitcoin. A lot of this is still institutions, and if they're getting in at these average and retail fomo hasn't even piled in yet, and the institutions are incentivized to run it beyond their average, that's incredibly bullish.


dingusmckringus69

Krezmit

I should save this meme to show my wife when she finally asks about my bitcoin I was buying over the last several years that she complained about…


Bullgato

There are 8 billion people in the world and the estimate is 15 million not lost bitcoin. So each person’s share is 0.001875 btc. A share is going for around 135 bucks when I did the math yesterday. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

When I sell my house 10k are going to the funds. Funny but in less than six months this is turning into something very fun. My move will turned me into a full time retired, by the beach with a few Mai Tai’s and enjoying Maui’s sun!!!


FixedGearJunkie

Nah...always humble. Back in 2014 when I was evangelizing it to all my friends and family they thought I was either weird, printing counterfeit money, or trying to overthrow the government. Now I keep my mouth shut. When I look back I was just nerdy enough to research and understand bitcoin's advantages over many other investments. I didn't go all in (wish I had) but it was much riskier, now it's ALMOST mainstream. Who knew? I certainly didn't, I just liked the transparent, permissionless, and fair nature of it.


SlowVeggieChopper

Nah, have just one best friend IRL who's in so you can celebrate together.


holdthefridge

Nah I’m choosing the i told you so every tym


digihippie

Hubris.


leggmann

I think the fact that people can own it as part of a self managed investment portfolio is what will give it a boost for mainstream acceptance. Institutional amd ETF money influx, bodes well for the early adopters growth in monetary terms. It will take a while for the newer converts to go the E-wallet route though, myself included. It’s easy and relatively cheap (.5% fee on WealthSimple in my case) for individuals to give it a shot. I invested 10k two weeks ago and decided to go with another 10k yesterday, so it’s 2% of my portfolio and meets my diversification goals.


gt35r

Saying I told you so in a purely speculative/unchartered market doesn't sound as cool as you think it does. I love crypto but at no point have I ever thought to tell someone that. Is it cool that it's doing it though, yes.


Unknown-714

Depends on the person, def telling the wife option B esp after she made me sell in 2018 with her paper hand profits :/


waffles4us

Keep buying ladies and gents DCA, lump sum, do both but buy it and lock it away where you have control of it. Then have a cuppa and smile
