What I hate about Bitcoin

I’ve been aware of Bitcoin since 2013, but really dove in around 2019. Read the books, listened to many podcasts, took the proverbial orange pill. And yeah, it changed me. It opened my eyes to how broken the fiat world really is. The manipulation. The decay. The illusion of value and progress. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Now I notice it everywhere. Architecture used to be expressive, human, beautiful. Now it’s cold and bland. Everything is gray boxes and copy-paste designs. Art, design, craftsmanship… all of it feels like it’s been optimized to the point of soullessness. There’s no care anymore. Just throughput.

And here’s the part that really messes with me. Bitcoin is supposed to represent hope. A better system. A way out. But what I hate is how it’s made me hyper-aware of how blind and numb most people are. The system is crumbling around them, and they just keep scrolling. As long as the delivery app works and the next show auto-plays, who cares?

Yeah, number go up. Great. But it doesn’t change the fact that I feel more isolated than ever. Most people don’t want to hear it. Most don’t even want to think. And honestly, sometimes I wonder if I took the wrong pill. Would I be happier if I’d just kept my head down and stayed asleep? I don’t know.

Found 3000 USD worth of btc

I know it’s not a lot compared to most of you here.

For the past week or so I’ve been scrolling through crypto subreddits out of curiosity.

I then remember an old hp computer I had from 2013, I had like around 0.03 btc from god knows and I had a photo of the key in my google photos.

How do I cash out this to my bank?

Do you believe in continued 29% CAGR?

Or is "historic performance not indicative of future performance" still relevant with BTC?

Why, or why not? Just want to hear opinions.

Bitcoin is crazy

Bitcoin isn’t just a digital currency — it’s a decentralized response to broken financial systems. Whether it’s $10K or $200K in 2026, the real value is in owning an asset that doesn’t answer to any government, bank, or central authority.

My First Bitcoin Purchase 06 03 2025

Today, I initiated my first investment in Bitcoin by purchasing 247 shares of the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) at $60.735. My strategy is to dollar-cost average (DCA) into the ETF on a weekly basis over the next 8-10 weeks, aiming to accumulate a position equivalent to one Bitcoin. As often seems to happen with my stock purchases, the market dipped shortly after my buy at around 11:45 a.m. EST, but I’m sticking to my plan. Excited to keep building my exposure to BTC!

First purchase!

I just turned 18 and had saved up a lot of money doing 2 part time jobs at 17. I invested my first $150 into Bitcoin today. 😄

A strange feeling

I just sold all my Bitcoins to buy my dream car. I trust Bitcoin but I need a car and I want to use what I've saved for many years.
This feeling of selling out and no longer being part of the holder team is strange for me!

It's time to redo the DCA !

What happened to Andreas M. Antonopoulos?

I used to be filtered his content on Youtube but noticing his most recent posts were 5 months and then 1+ year ago. And seems hims 2 most recent tweets align with those video posts. He's also not on the podcast or conference circuit like literally every other bitcoin influencer.

He used to be a main bitcoin figure head that I just don't see or hear about anymore.

Anyone know what's up or have an update on him? Is he just selling his content direct via Patreon or something? Or did he no longer want the attention?
