No-coiners or how to overcome your convictions and trust your life-savings into something unknown.
A lot, if not almost everyone, of people here have them in their lives: no-coiners. Their expriences with them, often negative, are shared here. They are depicted as ignorant, stupid or anything making them less of a human being. Bitcoiners understand #bitcoin, understand why it is important to #stack , know how to keep and fight for their #privacy. #No-coiners, obviously, don’t know any of this. As if they are #mudbloods
The reasons to stay #no-coiner probably very per individual. I can only reason from my own perspective. Having a technical background, I’d like to believe I (at least somewhat) understand the inner workings of #bitcoin. How complex, energy-costly mathematics secure a virtual asset. How millions of node, in distrust of each other, keep their own copy of The #Ledger. And still, there is reluctance to step in. The same reluctance I feel that prevents me stepping into stocks. There is something unpredictable and a feeling of unpredictability those not go well with my savings. Is this risk aversion? Yes, likely it is.
I stack up my #sats slowly, because that is the rate that fits me. Although my #FOMO sometimes plays up, wanting me to move our savings for our children to #bitcoin. Afraid it wont have any value at the time I need it.
What am I trying to say here? I think that if we really believe that this technology will change the world. That everyone can and should profit from this "being your own bank”. Then I can say having patience with the fears, convictions and shortsightness of no-coiners are virtues we should attain. People have grown up in a world of gravity and we are telling them they can actually fly. Yes this is an uphill battle, but I think that growing compassion in this is may be even more important than the #sats we’re stacking along the way.
🙏
