it's dumb to tell anyone to buy anything. if they haven't figured it out for themselves then they shouldn't be introduced to something they're not gonna fully understand.

Amen.

When prices are rising, I'll wear my BTC ballcap and when people ask about it, I'll answer their questions and perhaps tell them about how much I've earned in 4 years (on paper) by holding bitcoins. I do caution them that if they buy in, they should hold for at least 2 years and preferably 5 or more. I never tell them to buy.

Some of the smarter ones look into it, buy in, and thank me later for turning them onto it in the first place. Those who passed on the opportunity generally keep their mouths shut.

Of course most people don't have a clue what the BTC on my hat stands for. You'd be surprised how many people think it has something to do with the Boston Bruins hockey team. Other than telling them it stands for Bitcoin, I'm not gonna try to explain anything to them unless they ask.

Pearls before swine.

Oh, I see our little dip has bounced halfway back already. That didn't take long.
