Rules of Etiquette for Bitcoiners.

As the late great Biggie Smalls would say: "It's rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual." Guys, when this next halving arrives in a little over a year, we're going to start to become quite wealthy. Those miners won't be able to dump anywhere near as much BTC on the market, and the upward pressure on the price will be palpable. We all know this. Hell, I saw an article that says over 70% of all BTC has been hodled for over a year now.

But with that wealth comes responsibility. We should be gracious winners, and care about others who are less fortunate. I propose the following:

- Only try the orange pill on someone one time. After that, leave it. Talk about the basketball game instead. More than once, you're bugging them. They'll figure it out on their own time.

- Let's get rid of "Have fun staying poor." It's just, not a nice thing to say. We don't need to spike the football. Better would be "good luck with your alt-coin", or whatever.

- Let's also get rid of "I lost it in a boating accident". That's a precious metals kind of saying, and they can have it. How would you lose BTC in a boating accident anyhow? If you know your seed words, you'd just go and recover it. We've already taken the air out of gold and silver with a far better and more scarce asset, and BTC lives in their heads rent-free. Do we need to steal their saying also?

- Never tell anyone how much BTC you own. You can tell them in a roundabout way that requires them to do some math and know about BTC, such as "I have enough BTC that if everyone in New York has as much as I do, there'd be no BTC left." But never give the actual amount.

- Always have a backup wallet, in addition to your daily-use wallet. And keep the vast majority of your BTC in the backup. That way if you get robbed, you only lose the daily-use balance.

- Never get frustrated with people who don't come around to thinking BTC is great and who aren't interested in it. They'll come around on their own in time. The legacy banking system still works pretty well for most people in the western world, and people are slow to change something that seems to be working. We have to exercise extreme patience and understanding.

That's pretty much it. Stack on and hodl!!! : - )
