Dude, BTC was already climbing like a guy on Everest in April 2017. Four years prior...no indication.

/e What great occurrence took place in Dec 2017, that anyone could see coming?


:bonk:
Ever think that most of the investment in bitcoin happened in 2017... hence the huge rise?

Go back and read your previous argument, and realize that a constant rise over 4 years totally destroys your larger point.

I can't even discuss the reason why bitcoin really took off and why many people knew it would.
But it has to do with the princess bride.

Dude when you throw in crap like "princess bride" it's common practice to toss in some parenthesis and a description. Unless ofc, you're trying to be obtuse. :/

Anyway, the point was and still is... every generation has some money makers and then the remaining 90% that just "get by".

There is a character in the show named wesley who has an alter ego, he was the main reason bitcoin took off.

In my country its around 75% of baby boomers who made money and 64% of millennials just getting by.

OIn the boomer generation it was things like television, transistors, Kodak, IBM, Intel etc.


The millennials have things like Facebook, lots of other internet related crap, Apps, the occasional coin, etc. Every generation has a way to survive, and every generation complains how hard things are, and how easy everyone before them... had it.



When ya boil it all down, it's always the same... Hell, I bet the folks in the 1870's were bitching how easy the folks in the 1850's had it, in the US. If I knew the relative dates, I could say the same thing about generations before and after wheat farming in ancient Roman times. Or before that about generations before and after olive oil and wine producing. It's always the same, over and over.

Yes, but the percentage of those just getting by is way higher now than it was, and the separation between the two groups has been severely widening.
