Nothing makes me happier than to see someone act so condescending about "buying drugs online" while at the same time being so out of touch with reality.

Well, nothing other than the fact that I'm a millionaire today because I decided to buy drugs online in 2013.

…Congratulations? You didn’t actually address his concerns (although they were troll-y in nature). You just flexed about your own wealth, which just as easily could’ve come from betting on the right stock in 2013. I don’t understand crypto advocates whose only plus-one for crypto is that it made them personally rich. It just as easily could’ve gone nowhere and just because the market happens to be in your favor for now does not validate crypto as a whole in my eyes. What is its genuine value at the moment?

Everyone's a genius in a bull market.

Ah, how little I care about any of this these days.

Sounds like the drugs are working.

I feel like your personality is probably so unoriginal that I could draw a caricature of you without ever seeing your picture.

A painter and a drug user? Who would have guessed?

Doesn't take a painter to draw a stick figure.

You got lucky. That doesn’t make you smart or cryptocurrency smart for anything that has happened. It would be silly for someone to smugly talk about how smart they are for winning the lottery.

Personal congrats on your life decisions, even if that may not fly here :)

Like the pencil said when you sharpened it:

  Never say yes to drugs!

   ever say yes to drugs!

        say yes to drugs!

            yes to drugs!

                to drugs!

                   drugs!

More people should have listened to the pencil! (see also: "I, pencil" by Leonard E. Read)

Thank you very much. Congrats on your personal life decisions as well.

The fact that these types of decisions don't fly here makes it all the more fun to rub it in their faces :)

> Thank you very much. Congrats on your personal life decisions as well.

No thank to HN FUD that delayed my entry! If I had only trusted my gut instead of the common "wisdom", I could have been a billionaire instead.

It may still be possible based on private BTC projection, but that will be in 20 years...

Indeed! I already loved you, now I'll be sure to check for your comments :)
