Anyone else still finding it hard to talk to anyone IRL about bitcoin? (self.Bitcoin) submitted 17 hours ago by lechoirboy I live in Silicon Valley, global HQ for crazy ideas and innovation (some may argue that fact now a days) and people still feel burned from the ‘17-‘18 crash. I can’t say anything about bitcoin or share/connect/talk to people about what I’m learning and hear from others about what they’re learning. Anyone else finding it hard to connect with bitcoin believers post-bear market? You’d think people would be more chill about it now that it’s leveled out again price wise... Subfolded 19 points 17 hours ago Consider yourself lucky for even knowing people who bought in the first place... If you don't count online people you will never meet, then I swear I'm the only person in the planet who knows what Bitcoin even is. lechoirboy[S] 4 points 17 hours ago When I learned about bitcoin I couldn’t help but tel all my friends about it lol. Some probably bought because of me. And therefore lost because of me? ** that’s when I realized why my friends won’t talk to me about bitcoin ** lol iambabyjesus90 2 points 12 hours ago* They only lost if they sold and that’s 100% on them. The are weak hands that needed to be shaken out. bearCatBird 1 point 13 hours ago I have rounds of friends for each bubble. The ones above water love me. The ones below are a little antsy. Give it time. They’ll come around. If they held, they’ll love you. If they sold at the bottom, they’ll resent you. Always good to say “don’t invest a lot. Just dollar cost average in a little bit.” N0tMyRealAcct 2 points 13 hours ago I gave a little to my parents and my little brother so I had them to talk with at least. We aren’t past price talk and into technical stuff. But it is at least fun to be able to share happiness and despair. dekogeko 9 points 15 hours ago About a month ago I casually mentioned out loud - to myself, mostly - how bitcoin had breached 10k and someone actually replied, "Why do you think I would be in any way interested in that?" So screw 'em, I keep it to myself now. edit: this was at work, I was at my desk, others were around. I work in tech with a lot of engineers and not one is invested in crypto. lechoirboy[S] 2 points 13 hours ago It’s vitriol. That’s the vibe I get from others in tech about bitcoin. Like that person didn’t have to say anything but they had to signal to you that they hated it lol. jaumenuez 2 points 13 hours ago To understand bitcoin it's not enough to be an tech engineer. Also talking about your bitcoin investments is never a good idea. Think about it, if you are smart enough, it's better to look uninterested. N0tMyRealAcct 1 point 13 hours ago It’s probably the no-coiner grumpiness of just wishing for it to go away. Dartagnonymous 3 points 16 hours ago I’ll bet a lot of people who don’t want to talk about bitcoin are just secretly hodling. ducksauce88 3 points 14 hours ago My friends tell me I'm a gambler and that I got lucky. Bitch, knowledge is power. I've given them all the knowledge and tools and they still can't understand my simple rear end explanations about inflation, the gov/fed, and the bullshit the banks do. These same people don't trust the government, but then with money they just blindly follow. It makes no sense. I've tried to help and I gave up. So I just "lucky" after watching ever single video on Andres Antonopolous YT back in early 2017. I was buying like a fied after intro to Bitcoin. The tech is cool sure, but I'm here for thT hard money. ₿uy ₿itcoin. bryanlinton2 2 points 14 hours ago Lol I joke with my other BTC friends about this. Totally fine being considered lucky with a lot more money than those that consider the knowledgeable ones “lucky”. They will continue to miss things like this in the future and be “unlucky” Rickh8891redditor for 3 months 2 points 16 hours ago I just spark it up randomly in conversations especially if we’re talking about the Economy and money then I’ll try and lead the conversation there lol. I’ve found out unsurprisingly a lot of professionals hodl but they just keep it to themselves. I believe there was an article out by grayscale to confirm that, that “well read” people are morely likely to hodl. You just gota talk to em, preferably professionals supergrass77 2 points 11 hours ago One of the best indicators Bitcoin is going to blast past $20k is that it is holding $10k and nobody even talks about it. All the block chain hype of 2017 and ICO frenzy is over. Bitcoin is quietly kicking rear end and taking names as the alts die and the Federal Reserve and goverment are pinning themselves into a corner where they are going issue more debt and more Fiat money. This year and next year will be great for Bitcoin. Once the herd comes back the party will be over until enough of them die out from their poor choices and bad behaviors. flowbrother 2 points 5 hours ago This is a heart warming post to me. It is great to find out that silicon valley knuckleheads got burnt in the 17-18 'crash'. Hilarious really, both because they think that was a crash and because the greedy privileged scum that is steadily selling us all out got their fingers burned. Anyway, great news to us non Umercan , non-alignment with big-tech world view people who are 100% in Bitcoin and already joined the ranks of the unbanked. mr_li_jr 1 point 7 hours ago I guess SV thrives on people acting like they know the future and can see what's coming, so people who got burned in the crash don't want to admit it or talk about it, because it makes them look like they have less foresight than they want to display. NiceAccountName 1 point 14 hours ago My friends all told me I was stupid for buying bitcoin this year, so I make sure to remind them how well it's doing whenever possible. NiceAccountName [score hidden] 41 minutes ago Yeah, I can understand why you'd say that. However, these friends were very smug about it. "It's fake money" "It's a Ponzi scheme" "It's going to zero" I tried calmly explaining blockchain, tried explaining macroeconomic trends that it would benefit from. They just dug in even deeper. Now I just send them memes. MadMuffins 1 point 10 hours ago I brought it up to a coworker and she started talking about her uncle's stamp collection, so it really made me feel like we're far from large scale adoption. Just more time to stack sats I guess.

Getting tired of negative critique (self.Bitcoin) submitted 1 day ago by JohnWickPickleDick Starting to get tired of my friends taking the piss out of me for investing in bitcoin, even if i ask if they know any cheap restaurants nearby and saying that I'm losing money, I'm actually in profit, it's not much but I've got somewhere. I'd need something nuclear to shut them up, like a lambo. I wonder how Michael Burry felt when everyone was making GBS threads on him for predicting the housing crisis. Sorry for ranting, no one else I know respects or understands bitcoin. JohnWickPickleDick[S] 1 point 23 hours ago It's pretty normal for it to happen but I've never had to deal with critique like this before, even when I make profit their still against it. I guess that's a weird social defect we all have. Like when someone predicts the end of the world. JohnWickPickleDick[S] 1 point 22 hours ago Like talking to a brick wall, one of my friends has a masters in English literature so I'd expect at least some intelligence veganic11redditor for 3 months 2 points 1 day ago Don't worry brother, you/the hodlers will be the last to laugh. If it does become unbearable just don't hang out with the people who deep down are jealous they didn't get into bitcoin when you did. This may sound though but if people don't respect you, you ought to consider if you want to keep them around. Godzilla89 2 points 19 hours ago I thought it was good to educate, but it came back to bite me in the rear end. The friends I told mocked me, told me I was stupid and wasting my money, and I should put my money into a house, cause housing has gone up for the last 50 years and will always continue to go up. If I had of listen to them I would already be slightly negative, instead ive already made huge gains (for a conventional market) I dont talk to those friends anymore because of other toxic behavior....so just be careful who you tell JohnWickPickleDick[S] 1 point 1 day ago They always do it, gonna have to take it for now and then hadouken it back to them when it becomes mainstream JohnWickPickleDick[S] 3 points 23 hours ago I think that might be one of the reasons, I'm more successful than them financially so they must be jealous in a way maxcoinerredditor for 3 months 1 point 15 hours ago I'd use the "Do you know how jelly you sound right now?" line on them. When they inevitably ask how you can think they're jealous, remind them that you're up, and then ask them how well their investments are performing. zomgitsduke 5 points 1 day ago Just tell them you sold it at a decent profit and stop talking about it. Then, if the price does skyrocket and they tease you about selling, you can whip out the "I lied to shut you up. I knew what I was investing in." Or make them feel really really guilty for convincing you to sell, and now it's at a new ATH. vexcoinredditor for 6 weeks 4 points 21 hours ago I see your problem; you want them involved and you want them to be taken care of too, so you try to show them how well you are doing and try to get them on board. Most people do not take this level of someone caring about them easily, and as such they think it is a scam. Your actions of being helpful come across as being a scam - not because of you or anything like that, but because normally, humans don't selflessly help another person. Your best bet is to try to educate them by asking questions, like, "Hey do you guys know where money comes from?" And "What does it mean the Fed lowered interest rates?" Questions will sit with them. You have to find questions that erode their idea of what money is and approach it as if you are planting the seeds of doubt in their mind regarding what money actually is. These seeds of doubt are actually truths but you have to present them in ways where they answer the question, not you. Your intentions are good, your approach needs more tact! Good luck. WahmboCombo 1 point 23 hours ago You could give them a tiny bit and then they might have some skin in the game. If they get excited when their 20 turns to 40 it’d be hard to criticize your gains/losses. Not a free idea, but an idea crossthrowsredditor for 3 months 1 point 21 hours ago They’re just jealous they don’t have as much interest in getting into bitcoin.

Chocobo posted:having done a side-by-side of Beyond Meat in a burger, the taste and texture both fall short. that said, its a more viable alternative than we have had in the past. beyond meat went more for the visual effect of meat (red juices and stuff) while taste was secondary, impossible went more for taste. i did the same thing you're describing but with an impossible burger and it was pretty convincing. i mean it didn't taste like high-quality meat and it was weirdly salty (though that might have just been the place I was at) but it tasted like A Burger

the one thing about the impossible burger that was weird to me is that it had a weirdly strong aftertaste of meat. like it tasted like i just ate a burger, but it was unusually strong and stuck around for a while, like it was trying really hard to convince me it really was a burger or something. honestly though it was good enough that i wouldn't mind eating that instead of real meat all the time
