Unfulfilled Expectations- am I alone in feeling this way.
When Bitcoin began gaining conversational momentum in 2013-14 i began to pay attention. The first time I ever heard it mentioned was by my ex-wife, so I’ll chalk up my initial reluctance to hearing about BC from my biggest mistake. Fast forward ten years, countless trades, regrets, rebuys, more trades, larger regrets until portions of weekly hard earned wages are diverted to fuel the habit under the guise of early retirement, and making a difference. And here I am. Feeling like I was played. My love stemmed from a borderless currency & decentralization. We didn’t need a system, nation, or to play by da man’s rules or operate during standard business hours. Above all else it was the ultimate middle finger to Da Man and his conformity. Yet, here I am. All in on an alternate currency with the same ebbs & flows of Da Man’s system. Market up. Market down. I’m starting to believe I’ve been buying a parrot with different color wings. Am I alone in feeling like my middle finger has been joined by the index? submitted by /u/Jus_Caus_SC_Poet [link] [comments]
