Why Is Bitcoin Still Getting So Much Hate?

Ever notice how every time you post about Bitcoin on social media, the comments are flooded with negativity?

I’ve been diving into Bitcoin discussions across platforms, and it’s wild how much skepticism and outright hate it still gets. From “it’s a scam” to “it’s bad for the environment,” the same tired arguments keep popping up. But we are still super early in the adoption curve. The tech is evolving, institutional money is flowing in, and more people are starting to get it. Anyone else running into this?

How bullish are you, really, on Bitcoin?

Personally, I think it’ll hit 1 and 10 million. But 100 million and beyond I’m less sure of. It’s too wild! For that to happen, I feel like serious shifts in the international political and economic scene would have to occur, no? I do still think everything/21 million is possible though. I don’t know if it’ll happen but it doesn’t sound outright impossible. What do you guys think?

I’m not really expecting anything beyond that 50 million mark.

What caused the recent 18% rally?

Seems like Bitcoin jumped 30% after the election. Since then it's been a tough few months. But recently it's climbed back and now jumped 18% the past 3 weeks. What's the causing the rally and do you see it going further?

Finally started self-custody. A small stack, but it feels great

Let’s be honest, at over 750,000 lines of code, “DON’T TRUST, VERIFY” boils down to choosing whom to trust.

It’s time for Alphabet to load up on Bitcoin.

$GOOGL announced today they fear that AI is, and will, take a huge chunk out of their search business. Apple confirmed as well.

Alphabet says they aren’t sure exactly what to do next. NOW is the time to use some of that cash pile and start buying $BTC. Mix that with YouTube and you have an even bigger monster.

LFG! 🚀🚀🚀

I’m starting to think that I’m obsessed with Bitcoin.

I wake up and the first thing I think about is Bitcoin. I constantly search for Bitcoin content on YouTube. Bitcoin has me second guessing all of my purchases. Bitcoin has become the solution to EVERYTHING in my life. I’m reading 3 Bitcoin books at the same time. I want to tell the world about Bitcoin. Am I the only person who is experiencing this behavior?
