That's a great story, and hats off to you for accepting it openly! For me, I never got involved in shitcoins because, from the start I had this thinking "Other than Bitcoin, it's all shitcoins." I just thought that anyone could create and throw out their crypto currency and people would acquire it, make it something of value, and use it as MoE? Seriously? Also, I never understood how NFTs even work or why there's so much fuss about them. It doesn't even make sense, and I never tried to learn a single thing about it. Another big reason is that the majority of people who own Bitcoin also hold shitcoins because, for them, it's a quick get rich method. It's very hard to convince them, and they argue like, "Bro, I’m gonna get rich; let me use my money my way. I want to make money nothing else." I have mad respect for shitcoiners who become Bitcoiners!
Mistakes happen that's why we are humans. But just repeating them isn't a wise choice very few realize the latter part!
This is great to hear. I see a lot of new people in the space getting to the "Bitcoin only" light a lot more quickly these days. It's a good sign. When did you first start stacking Bitcoin?
reply
In 2019, I first stacked them and forgot about it because I wanted to know how it works, then started learning about them through books, YouTube videos, and online courses to understand better.
Now, things are working fine for me. I’m still learning, but I’d say having Bitcoin has made me less worried and helped me focus on the things I really love. I surely don’t know as much as Darth and you guys here, but things are still great for me. I’m learning about BTC while also talking about my favorite stuffs. You know, I find it challenging to understand thing in one shot because I'm very dumb and I accept it, and I'm also learning English because it creates a language barrier in learning about Bitcoin.

For me, I don't need to understand it through and through. I just need to understand certain aspects that make it clear that it is the only way to store energy over time. It's limited in supply, it's decentralized, it's open source. I leave the rest to people that are much smarter than me.

That's a good point. You can either contribute to the Bitcoin community or be an advanced learner and contribute. Either way, you'll be helping. It's an individual choice I respect that and don't force it like others do.

My role here is to help people release toxicity that tends to push new people away. I think we need to be compassionate and patient.

toxicity that tends to push new people away.
Exactly! Being compassionate and teaching with politeness can change the whole perspective for someone new to Bitcoin, but nobody seems to believe this.
I don't know how people ended up believing that being rough and tough with others would make an impact.

That's the point that I will continue to try and make here. Just made a post about it.
