My Path to Maximalism… with Altcoin Scars
972 sats \ 18 comments \ @guerratotal 7h bitcoin
Being an ex-shitcoiner isn't easy. It's like leaving a cult where they promised you 1000% returns with dog memes and pixelated unicorns. But sooner or later, you hit rock bottom: rugpulls, smart contracts that are more dumb than smart, and of course Bitcoin drops 5% and the entire shitcoin world goes to zero.
But that's not the hardest part of all. No. The hardest part is when @DarthCoin replies to your comment hahahhahahaha There's no shitcoin that hurts as much as Darth's comentary "Any shitcoiner who bought crap coins will get what they deserve: EAT their own shit."
In my case, I'm in the process of "detoxing". Going through every shitcoin page I was on and selling every cent of shitcoin to buy BTC.
I'm coming back. Little by little. Sats to sats.
My name is @guerratotal, and I was a shitcoiner. But not anymore. Now I understand: the road isn't filled with new tokens promising 10,000X… but with blocks every 10 minutes.

My harsh comments are here to wake you up and others. Is a slap on your face (that you deserve it). Shitcoiners only like that can wake up...
Without my comments there will be a world full of shitcoiners. But like @nerd2ninja said "don't be ashamed", only continue the path to bitcoin maximalism https://darth-coin.github.io/general/21-rules-bitcoin-maxi-en.html

I was def a shitcoiner much like others. I had moved to buying only BTC for a while, but still held a bag of shitcoins. I made the decision to finally swap those years back and it turned out the best "trade" I ever made. The shitcoin has dropped 75% since in fiat terms, and BTC has increased 5x since.

I have a few shitcoins that have been in negative territory for more than 3 years now... I'm looking into selling them all and buying BTC.

Pulling the trigger on those is tough to do, especially when BTC is running. You do it at your own pace. I did feel relief when I finally exchanged them, I had belief in BTC and it's easier to tune out the noise and double up your effort to learn what BTC is truly about when you don't have skin in all the other games.

A lot of us have done the same. Just keep learning. That's all you can do really.

I haven’t bought any shit coins but I have been tempted in the past. Sometimes I’ll put on of shit coin content at night when I can’t sleep, all the bill shit helps lull me to sleep. I did loose some money trading stocks in the past. And most recently trading bitcoin miners and a bitcoin treasury companies but my portfolio is still profitable. That portfolio is strictly bitcoin related stocks.Some people are calling the treasury companies the shit coins of this cycle but I think that only the strong will survive.

I've been buying shares in companies with BTC treasury and some real estate funds to live a legal life without attracting too much attention from the federal revenue service, and buying BTC on P2P.
When I was in Cuba, I bought a lot of shitcoins to try to make a quick buck, and it turned out that when BTC crashed, they all went to the underworld, and they've been there ever since.

Hey I bought the shitcoins too because I thought I was investing in some new technology or something that people would come to use and people coming to use that technology would drive up the price of the token or something.
Turns out, not how that shit works at all.
