That's the thing. When you were browsing bitcoin subreddits during the "golden days" it was pretty bizzare to see people talking about how cool it is and thia is the future and all, and to make it viable, you have to use it, like you know... A currency. But then they also made fun of the guy who bought a pizza with his bitcoin. Haha what a loser, he bought. A pizza for 40k no now 100k dollars. We are all holding, right, no one is selling, right guys?? We're all in the same boat.

Motherfucker, it's so obvious that EVERYONE was treating it like a get rich quick scheme.
