Do you really believe most crypto fans are just holding and doing nothing else? Especially after earning 10x 100x 1000x in dollars? I have convinced several ppl to buy crypto pretty early but nobody of them kept holding after earning several times more they have bought.

Sick of arrogant & condescending comments like this made by ignorant people. You're flexing because you took advantage of a bubble, congratulations, nobody cares, and it's completely irrelevant to the parents comment.

I was maybe condescending but in what place I was arrogant?

And who seems more ignorant - dollars & bitcoins user or only dollars user?

> nobody cares

Except of you?

OP said literally nothing about buying and holding, so you’re starting off with a straw man.

How many of those people have used crypto to purchase any goods?

Can VPN be considered as goods?

It would classified a service, not goods. But feels a bit pedantic in this context.

nobody of them kept holding after earning several times more they have bought.

No? So did they spend it ... or did they exchange it into something that is actually a working currency?

> actually a working currency

Isn't "working currency" a "physical real world product"?

No.

How a nice-smelling crunching-sound cash might be not a physical and not a product?

You crooks know that there are some taxing problems in some parts of the world if seller wants crypto instead of national currency.
