I don't think anyone here really realizes how very rich you are all going to be someday. Oh, sure you all bla bla bla about holding coins and buying more but don't realize that you will honestly be wealthy. If any of you were to get hit by a bus and wake from a coma 10 years from now, if you properly secured your wallet, you would want for nothing the rest of your lives.
10 years? Hopefully 2 or 3 years is all it takes.
I could do without the coma too.
I think many of us are very optimistic. Nothing is for sure though. The strange thing is I tend to be pretty conservative and not much of a risk taker but with Bitcoin it is hard to not just throw caution to the wind and go all in. The rewards outweigh the risk so much that it is more logical to do so than not to.
We are hard-wired for optimism...its in our our nature to acknowledge risk but simultaneously see ourselves as not being affected by it. Eg. people understand the percentage risk of cancer yet think it will not affect them. I posted a link about this here yesterday but it was ignored (ironically) but you can google Tali Sharot if you are interested.
As much I'd like financial independence and be able to do some good in the world by having more money, I can't help but recognise and explore potential risk....and I don't like the fact the word 'faith' is thrown around so much ;/
