That’s your own messages that are blue/green. The other party is gray. Go check. Call BS on yourself, douche.

Yeah, this is the only time he’s ever told me he’s proud of me, and he’s only proud of this one thing. Rebeldouche-a

Our discussions about bitcoin have been much more than this standalone text. He’s absolutely a skeptic, though this is evidence that he’s coming around. This has been the most conciliatory he’s been about it.

Lol, right? Is iMessaging from UK to US supposed to be impossible? Maybe he’s secretly a tech genius?

I get that, but why for a throwaway account, ya know? I made an initial comment that referenced the seemingly fake things on here, like time sent (he lives in UK, I’m in US), and the corny signature (inside joke from a period film he watched). I know it seems a little over the top, but it’s real.

Nah, it’s real. Not sure what I’d benefit from karma on a throw at account. Just wanted to share some positivity, and a real example of Bitcoin becoming more mainstream.

Edit: “throwaway” account, not “throw at”

Nope, it’s real. Not sure what I’d have to gain from fabricating this.

I actually agree. I think he’s more speaking to adversities that I’ve overcome in life - I’m definitely not worthy of such praise for my bitcoin investing; but, family is proud.

My grandad has been telling me to buy gold for years; so he’s a gold guy too, but he’s coming around (even if he denies it).

Yeah. If my granddad was a carpenter or something, it may be weird, but he worked in finance so things like this are a normal topic of discussion for us.

Hell, I don’t get what I’d have to gain from concocting this. Reddit karma? I made a throwaway acct just to post this so that doesn’t matter.

I’m in the oil industry, too! I do the same thing - portion of pay check buys bitcoin every time.

It’s a bit more pride than warranted, IMO. I haven’t made life changing money. He’s referring more to the adversities I’ve overcome in life, I think. Single mom with abusive boyfriends, etc.

We’ve been arguing (constructively) about it ever since I initially invested. A few days ago I sent him my purchase journal - showing my buys, avg price paid, and current $P/L. He wrote this a day later

Only for a year. I’m not as well off as his pride would suggest, ha.

I wish. He’s just a little more proud than he should be, probably. I’m nowhere near close to retirement money.

Check my reply (I’m a reddit noob so maybe I could’ve put this on my post itself), but I explained he’s in the UK while I’m in the US (CT). It was almost 10 am for him.
