Father is pissed at me I bought bitcoin

I decided to invest into Bitcoin and hold 2 coins.

Father is extremely mad at me and says “you just ruined your life buying fake money” I studied a lot about bitcoin over the months and how it works. I showed him some of the things I have learned to his screaming reply “you bought a scam! A pyramid scheme! If you would of bought stocks it would of been safer”

My father has not spoken to me in over a month… his loss. I honestly believe Bitcoin has a bright future, despite the current situation with SEC, Bitcoin will prevail, and all those shit coins will be destroyed. He is missing out. I live on my own so its not like I used his money or borrowed any either. Only my money.

We would stop saying "buy bitcoin" and instead say "study bitcoin"

Whenever we say to buy bitcoin, people already start forming their negative opinions.

If we were to stay "study bitcoin", perhaps it would intrigue some to look into what bitcoin is and why it's valuable.

If people were to just study bitcoin, they will start to understand it. And once they start to understand it, buying it becomes a no-brainer. In fact, when you really understand it, going a majority-in is a no-brainer.

EDIT: when I say STUDY, I mean learning about scarcity, learning about the history of gold, Ancient rome, US coming off the gold standard, inflation, decentralization, sovereignty, freedom, privacy, the principles of trust, human psychology, etc etc etc. I am NOT talking about bart simpson patterns or head and shoulder patterns.

About Community

Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet: a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority whatsoever: there is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you can be your own bank.
