I see people who did well with bitcoin have won a lottery of sorts. Myself included. I don't consider it any kind of intellectual accomplishment or hard work. It can be depressing sometimes watching people taking cigarette butts out of the trash and lighting them up near the same place when I'm drinking and fine dining in comfort.

So there's that. All bitcoin early adopters are lazy bum lottery winners in my eyes. And if I told someone to buy it while pointing out my shiny BMW, well, that just makes me a shill. So I keep my mouth shut. Most people who are saying glowingly positive things probably just don't have enough bitcoins and are trying to pump their tiny stack.
