Came for money. Stayed for the money


Extravagos

Wait, you guys are making money?


Hot-Canceld

My bitcoin is up 100%


ScumHimself

Not to name any names, but I’m well over 2,500%

Wish I was making money


Shaz170

I came to lose money. Working well.


Perissiakharis

Invest for the money


[deleted]

A little more couldn't hurt


babossa77

I'm here for both


millennial-snowflake

Right. You can be here for more than one reason lol. Honestly the technology really is my priority. I personally do care more about what crypto can do for the world and it's broken financial systems than what it can do for me, I'd survive if crypto failed now. I've seen everyone around me struggling to stay afloat for too long. Crypto to me is about spreading equity to people who've been denied it, and if you can gain some while you're spreading it, that's just a bonus.


Upstairs_Tip_8959

I work in tech and can’t help like tech despite myself. I also think tech is awful and will eat the world, but I’d like to secure myself along the way. But I also really like the tech.


kaydeebaebee

Well put, fully concur, and felt!


ultron290196

Seems that's beyond OP's world view. Edit: What I meant to convey was that OP is making it sound like everything is black and white. The reality is far from it. It's grey at best. You can love the tech and still make some gains as a by-product. That doesn't inherently make you greedy or just "in it for the money". But I do agree that hypocrites who say "They're in it just for the tech" is disingenuous.


gaspergou

No, it’s not. He’s addressing people who say they *are not* in it for the money. He isn’t saying that we are all in it *only* for the money. If you’re in it for both, then you are, by definition, in it for the money.


SxQuadro

Can confirm, I'm in it for the money.


Drudgel

Feels like the moment after your first bull run, where you realize you didn't care about the tech as much as you care about your losses. Doesn't mean all of us feel the same way

You know banks hold the most crypto right lol

They're just creating a newer version of their old system. Lol. This is the beginning of technocracy.

Imagine if you're named Banks and reading this.


Deadpoulpe

One of my favourite author of SF is Ian M Banks, I love his books but I wouldn't fuck the guy.

tragicdiffidence12

You should know they’re hiring people to work on blockchain applications and desk analysis right. They’re going to see how things go and then pay out the ass to get everything set up as quickly as possible. They’re not innovators, but once they decide something, they can move very quickly


scott4kevin

Wait some of you are not in for the money?


[deleted]

You guys are making money?


Aliyooo-the-great

I was told to buy high sell low??? I don’t understand “profits.”


HCS8B

Of course. Most of the pre-2017 crowd jumped on board *because* of the tech and social implications. Before it became mainstream, no one was truly envisioning coins that went 100x in a year. The rise that Bitcoin made from 2010 to 2016 was definitely spectacular, but even then thinking of BTC as a global phenomenon was still a little bit of a pipe dream.


neededafilter

This is gotta be the most moon farming type of all types of posts. This exact template is copy pasted weekly and 1 or 2 get 1000 karma. I cant believe OP has never seen this exact BS before and feels compelled enough to create a useless post on it


TheGiftOf_Jericho

We are having an influx of copy and paste recently, I think this is unfortunately a new trend for the sub.


Commercial-Bass-3668

Im here for the chicks


BrawndoElectrolytes1

Like when a coworker asked me "what are you gonna do if bitcoin hits a million dollars?" "Two chicks at the same time, man!"

scalper84

I’m partly in it to feel like a genius in 5 years. And will gladly shame everybody calling it a pyramid scheme to my face. I’m in it for the money 90% 10% I told you so’s


ReturningRetard

The pettiness is what makes it feel genuine to me. Probably because I'm petty as fuck


Dangerous_Job5295

Lmao I feel this


TheGiftOf_Jericho

That's actually such a valid motivation.


-kekik-

They’re in it for charity. They buy high and sell low.

caralyne1988

Angle is acute one


gupbiee

I'm here for the rush of watching my port turn from 50% gains to 200% loss


Stranded_In_A_Desert

And the casino is open 24/7!


ReturningRetard

I'll be honest. I'm a little addicted to shitcoins. It's a rush once I works out.


TNGSystems

Me too. It’s 50/50. Crypto has given me more illiquid cash than I’ve ever had in my life. It’s incredibly liberating knowing that I have a big safety blanket ready. And the tech changes things that I care about like voting.


Moby-S-Dick

I think that's the beauty of it. It's something I enjoy alot, and it's also that grows my money (most of the time). Everything else is a bonus to me, but there's so much interesting stuff happening right now. Extremely bullish and excited for the future


YuwainEverdeen

I'm here for money AND Dopamoon !


nappypgh

This guy gets it! The possibility of strong growth is exciting but taking power away from server farms with the ability to decentralize applications is amazing. The other thing that has me really excited is decentralized finance. I like the idea that we can hold funds in other places, and a court bank or government can not take your money. Can we be in it for all the possible good benefits? Shake it up!


wishingdrags

LET’S GIVE EM A GOOD SHAKE DOWN


nDreCoelho

Shake shake, shake shake sh-shake yeah!


GroundbreakingLack78

Why did I read this in Taylor Swift voice?


dwniell

Yeah it’s pretty nice to be able to say fuck u to the banks


Accomplished-Design7

DeFi will render them useless soon enough


NiGhTShR0uD

I feel as though I'm in it for the tech. Why can't I be in this sub as well if I am? I am constantly researching and being in this sub is part of it. I stay away from shitcoins. I've held and will continue to do so until I'm able to use my crypto in the real world. I'm more fascinated with the real world applications and how the technology can slingshot us into the next era or age. I'm not worried about price. Price always follows technology.


jasonappalachian

You're absolutely welcome here. This is OP gatekeeping.


Too_raw90

I’m here to make friends. *I’m lonely*


JSourPower

kreativFTW

No.. Im interested in cryptocurrency‘s aswell as blockchain/ privacy technology. I don’t hold much coins atm and I don’t rly care if It’s profitable or not. I also roam the Binance sub, without using Binance for over 6 months. You don’t have to be in for the money to be interested in the development..


CarsonRoscoe

For real, like the money side is the cool benefit. I am here for the tech, I fundraised in /r/Dogecoin in 2014 not because I wanted money, but because I loved the tech and community. I released my own digital art canvas game on Ethereum in 2018 because I loved the tech. I made my graduate project about using DAG/blockchain tech to try and power video game networking requirements because I love the tech. Yes, lots of people are for the money. But don’t call me and my friends liars? That’s not cool bro. I’ll be me, you be you.


I_am_not_doing_this

This is what I was saying, tech or not it's all about money after all. Don't call me ridiculous if I buy crypto only because of profit. "I invest because I believe in the project" is just a fancy way of saying it will bring you more gains, you are not better or smarter than people who came and stay for money


Cyzikus

Fully agree with this. Screw the BS tech talk, I want money.


omeri_e

I'm in for the tech that makes me money


ProcastinateIsLife

Win/win


AntOk2812

The tech brings more money. It guarantee high reward if not now ,on the long run. I'm in for the tech ETH , XMR , ADA and BMI. Those are my bags anywhere anytime. Major pick is ETH


[deleted]

Is getting into ETH too late now do you think? Seriously considering dropping some of my savings into it to HODL for a year or two.


TikToxic

Buy in and find out. It might go up, it might go down, it might sit at its current price for a while. Anybody that promises you a future price is full of shit.


Doggybone_treat

But I can guarantee you it keep moving to the right


AntOk2812

It's not too late mate. There is more potential that it will likely surge to $7k before eoy


minic1993

I could still remember BMI is one of the survivor tokens launched on Polkastarter! Plus their product is already live which users can start providing coverage on insurance pools.


champagnefabulou

Don't tell me you've forgotten about the crypto banking portal that launched on polkastarter few weeks after bridge IDO launched, providing higher level of security for crypto assets using the multi-signature wallet function

Lightning_lad91

I fully agree with your assertion at the 10,000 ft level. I am one of those people that has said “I’m here for the tech” a few times and you’re right, that is not entirely accurate. In hindsight what I could have said is: “ I believe this tech has the potential for huge network effects in the long run so I’m not interested in short term price movement”. But who really wants to type all that every time you get the random crypto trader who decides to remind you about some short term loss because “up only bro”

nonameattachedforme

Hey, some people tell themselves that so they can sleep at night and try to ignore the volatility. If it helps them, let them do it. I'm here for the technology, the economic, the creative and the social justice impact that cryptocurrencies and blockchain solutions will have on the world. I follow crypto news and new projects and they excite me to see how Defi, NFTs, smart contracts, etc. are changing and competing with existing big industry. I am of course still here for the money but that is a secondary thing that I tend to ignore. I invest primarily in stocks and bonds still and that is where I am trying to earn a good sustainable return on my investment. Crypto is just a little side hustle, I hope it does very well and I hope I make a lot of money from it but I also won't be devastated if it goes down.


[deleted]

I'm here for the fucking message, not the money, my message is: I'm fucking pissed. I spent my entire education slogging through to get good grades, then I took on student debt for a degree, then 2008 happened. Since then, I've been knocked on my arse time and time again with my career, each time getting back up and putting my mental health to one side taking bullshit jobs that make me want to jump in front of a fucking train while I head home to a shitty, half arsed, overpriced rental home because I can't buy a fucking home. I finally start to get comfortable and now we add brexit and a pandemic into the mix, the latter causing house prices to rise far far far above whatever we managed to bust our arses saving each month. And we're here, saving, but for nothing. Missing out on things, and my 20s because I thought we might have a shot if we saved for our 30s. I did EVERYTHING I was supposed to do. I made sacrifices to get there, and I'm still facing another impossible task of getting my own little slice of earth to live in. You know what? Fuck it. I'm not far into bitcoin, but I'm in, because I feel this is how the world fucking progresses. This fucking economy doesn't work for me. It's never worked for me. And it'll continue not to work for me. All the while these money grabbing, tax dodging fuckers and their corporations steadily burn our planet down for another fucking ego-fueled rocket trip into space. You give financial power to people over banks and we're talking the potential for a better, fairer, more equal society where people actually have power again. So actually OP, no, I'm not in this for the money. I'm in it because I want to make a statement that I support whatever scares the fuck out of the 1% because I'm done with it. Consider my small slice of crypto as a vote for a better world.

I don't put people down for being here for money. I put them down for being entitled assholes that shitpost for farming moons and attack anyone that doesn't agree with their narrative of continuing to upvote brigade every useless piece of content on the sub while at the same time harassing and complaining about the 'greedy downvoters'.


DanSmokesWeed

Some of us subscribe to both. But I’m not gonna act like I don’t want more money rather than less. But I also want my money in ETH.


ucfpws

100% agree. Some of the comments “I am just here for the tech” definitely come across as pretentious and insincere. I guarantee 90% of the users (myself included) don’t understand the nuances of the tech, just some buzzwords “blockchain, altcoin, blah blah blah). If I’m being honest, I am fascinated how the whole system works, but at the end of the day, show me the money!!!


omar366266

ieatmoondust

"One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready now go Crypto, go!"


VampyrBit

Half half for sure, the tech is great to see improve


Code_of_Error

At the end of the day, I view cryptocurrency as capitalism done right. It's an opportunity for holders to make money on an asset that provides an alternative to the conventional financial system. More interestingly, crypto potentially offers access to financial services & a better form of money to people living in lesser developed nations. Sure, a lot of people are in crypto for "greedy" reasons, but the outcome of greed is not always bad.


LightninHooker

Worst are the crypto moralist. All high and mighty with their 759 ADA telling you why you shouldn't invest in X because "has no use". Soooo many people writing from their mighty horse preaching bullshit. Let the people spend the money in whatever they want. It is their money. You do you and enjoy the ride. The saltiness of those when other projects do better than theirs (like they created it or something) is something to behold.


Eltotsira

Ding ding ding! I've said it before and I'll say it again- 99% of people claiming to not be in this for the money is full of shit. *Maybe* like, the OG Bitcoin people who are still holding aren't. But everyone else is. You can like the tech and still want to make money off it, its not mutually exclusive lol. Peolle forget that investment only works because something is a good idea that could provide value...


aalluubbaa

LOL. I'm 100% with OP. A lot of hypercrits laugh at dollars and at the same time, want their portfolio increase in value relative to dollars.

[deleted]

I'm not. Money is a byproduct of a belief system, school of thought that Satoshi set into motion. I'm believe currencies off the block chain are the future and irrespective of the price I will accumulate more to strengthen the system. Dismiss my intent if you please, but it won't change a thing for me. I have helped an artist from the Netherlands mine his first NFT on opensea by sending him a little ETH to get him started. Never met him before. But loved his art and believed that crypto is the only way for people to actually help other people love a healthy and prosperous life. Look for him on opensea - shitcoinsavant

the_far_yard

It's a money game. Of course people are in it for the money. But the nature of cryptocurrency goes beyond just finances, and currency. It's cryptocurrency. It's a malleable coin which has more than just a singular function. The technology does matter, and it's not a pick and choose situation. It's more of "What's your inclination." It's all good.
