If the next bull market makes you rich, don’t tell other people

We are all accumulating our gems during this bear market. Prices are relatively low and a lot of retail has left, as evidenced by the fact that Google searches for Bitcoin are at the lows and the activity in this subreddit has dropped a ton.

Historically, people who bought the right projects during a bear market made a lot of profit during the subsequent bull, and some of these people got (very) wealthy. If the bull does come again, I have no doubt that a lot of us will also end up making a lot of money, and that quite a few people here will end up becoming wealthy.

If you are one of the “lucky” (read: skilled!) ones, please do not tell other people. Many people will treat you differently if they know that you have money. Example situations:

• People would ask if you could borrow them money and expect you to do so
• People would try to scam you
• People from the opposite sex would fancy you more
• Some people would get jealous and resentful. Many think you got lucky or think that you are undeserving. They might treat you very differently.
• People might try to rob you. There’s 174 registered Bitcoin attacks and probably many more unregistered ones.
