How do people know you?
Reaper Meme and Incest jokes
How long have you been into Bitcoin?
Going on 2 years
How many Bitcon market cycles have you been through?
Currently in my first bear
What are you optimistic about in this space despite the current state of the market?
The people I've become friends with. The creativity and values in Bitcoin is what makes it truly special
What tips do you have to those who are new to this or who might be upside down?
Patience and diligence. Look to the plebs that have been here multiple times in the past. Double down on your convictions.
Biggest regret during the last bull market?
Putting $2000 into XRP near the top 😂
What have you learned so far in this bear market?
That Bitcoin is a long term play. There is no moral short cut. Patience is a virtue.
What is the biggest fail you have seen during the last bull cycle?
The dummy who got a Luna tattoo on his shoulder.
What do you think about all the influencers promoting companies and products that have imploded?
They are either socially and intellectually inept or morally bankrupt. Perhaps all of the above?
Why do you think people still listen and support these people?
Some people need heros OR they are fooled by the microphone.
What do you think helped trigger the current bear market?
Honestly idk, but I am supremely grateful for the opportunity to stack at these price levels.
Who was most exposed during this last market meltdown?
Probably the plebs that took out loans or equity from their homes to buy the top.
What are your thoughts on Bitcoin Maximalism?
It's one of (if not the most) first worthy causes that I've aligned myself with. Bitcoiners want to get wealthy, who doesn't? More so they want to root out the vipers and rats that are eating the middle and lower classes. This is a very beautiful thing to be apart of.
Why do you think there is an emerging narrative to demonize Bitcoin Maximalists?
Because the Vipers and Rats understand that their monopoly is threatened. They think themselves as gods or a superior class and only they can manage they monetary system properly.
What kind of damage do you think the latest price drop has done to buyer sentiment?
Alot of the "get rich quick" buyers have probably exited the space or shrunk their buys.
What is it going to take to turn this around?
Time, commitment, patience, and memes.
What are your tips for HODLing Bitcoin through this cold bear market winter?
Stop looking at the price. Make friends in the space. Talk with them about things that aren't bitcoin related. Distractions can be healthy.
How do you feel about alt-coins and NFT’s and stable coins right about now?
Trash, trash, and more trash.
What do you think about the whole collapse of FTX and Blockfi?
I laughed at the retodds propagating and advertising that bullshit.
But I also empathize with those that got absolutely rekt. Very bitter sweet.
Do you think anyone will go to jail?
Probably not.
What is the best way to accumulate Bitcoin during a down market?
I work 2 or 3 jobs every week. Not going to sell my possessions, but I will sacrifice my time and body to stack.
Any tips you want to give to people new to Bitcoin?
There are dozens and dozens of extremely knowledgeable people in this space. They will help you if you ask. Ask questions when you don't know things. This has worked for me. You may get trolled or joked on but do not take it personal. It's all in good fun. Joke and troll back.
Any last words of wisdom?
Do not obsess over bitcoin. I think about it every day and I talk about it every day. However, I also understand that this can not be my whole life, 24/7. Work on passions and hobbies and have fun outside of bitcoin. Do not look for Bitcoin to save you from your personal hell. If you aren't happy with your life right now, your 21/6.15/.1/.001 won't change that in 10 years. Develop your mind, body, spirit, family, etc to be happy with nothing but the clothes on your back and the people next to you.
