I personally hate it when some say people buy Bitcoin at the price they deserve. It's just a tribalistic way for people to make themselves feel special for being in the cool kids club. I went to the Philippines recently and while browsing SN I was lamenting that nobody there owns Bitcoin- most people are desperately poor and just trying to survive. When you're making 6 dollars a day you aren't saving much in any currency.
I'm happy I was orange pilled but I think it was more luck and circumstance than any special insight on my part.
There's a powerful human urge towards self-justification and self-congratulation, and bitcoiners are not exempt from either.

It is a gift and it feels good to look to share it with everyone possible. People in need will open up easier. Others haven't been through enough pain.
