Me telling my dad to invest in bitcoin in December 2017 😭

I remember very well how it all went. December 2017, bitcoin prices skyrocketing, me being a minor and having no money to invest, my dad clueless as a bird.

1 Bitcoin was about $15.000 back then, so i tell my dad all about Bitcoins and that the price is going up so rapidly and how it’s definitly a “safe” investment. I get him all excited and sure enough, he makes an account, we buy some bitcoin and we wait patiently while watching the price keep going up.🚀

A week goes by, all seems good. Another week goes by and the price just starts tankin’📉😭 So here i am, telling my dad not to worry and explaining that we’ll just have to hold. (Or even buy more while it’s low.) But why would he believe me when 2 weeks after i tell him to invest everything just crashes.

BUT, now February 2021, my dad is still a proud and happy bitcoin holder. And i finally get to say “I told you so”.

Moral of the story: HODL 🙌💎📈🚀🚀🚀

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

https://preview.redd.it/vli0ofqwf6w71.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a704c47375637858c27216379ae8313dadf8be8 This could be a long read. Kindly bear with me. I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
