      Yeah, and that’s just what the deep state cabal would want me to do.

      You only want me to limit it to close associates to dob in my friends so you can track them with my 5G microchip you embedded me with during your man made Covid crisis.

      Youse are the reason I buy all me crypto with cash from jobs I do on the side where I get paid in darts and piss.

      So, yeah nah, I voted on your poll with information on people that I heard from a mate’s mate’s wife’s auntie… and she would know…

        Just brilliant.

        You mean 6G microchip?

          I knew it! Well jokes on you buddy, I forged my vax documents using the FB template.

      • +5

        I'm gonna vote to even out the numbers regardless of what I am voting for

    What if my friend has malodor?

  • +5

    more likely to believe conspiracy theories

    What's this got to do with crypto ??

    • +2

      I'm assuming he's about the whole decentralised currency etc?

    • Because most crypto bros are right-wing nuts, and guess which side of the aisle almost all of the conspiracy theorists reside?

  • +8

    I'm an Australian. We don't talk about religion, politics or money. How would I know if they've got bitcoin.

    And, anyway, even the things you mention are in the eye of the beholder. For example Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist/extremist groups to some Australians, and freedom fighters to others. And everyone thinks what other people believe that conflicts with they believe is a conspiracy theory. Whether you believe other people believe in these things says as much about you as it says about them. It just says you are somewhere quite different on the political scale to them, and that's not something that usually results in people being friends.

    • There are pointers to who are the tinfoil hat brigade though.

      I'm sure not that every person that owns bitcoin (or Crypto) talks about it but generally I find people who own bitcoin talk about it a lot.

      In terms of them having Maladaptive characteristics- I'd say no.

        Q: how do you know someone has BTC
        A: don't worry they will tell you.
        same for vegans and cross fitters
        .

        • +1

          Not wrong there but I had to a google 'cross fitters'

          • +1

            @JimB: lol I know what cross fit is, but I had to google 'cross fitters' too. Just didn't click.

              @SlickMick: Me too,

              I originally thought they were a niche group of religious folks who had the job to erect the cross onto churches haha

  • +5

    What a niche group to target this question at.
    What better site than Ozb I guess.

    This seems like primary data collecting for your university essay

    • +2

      omg, there's so many of those. Plus using a term like maladaptive seems out of place.

    Wtf is maladaptive mean OP

    • Vegan

    Sounds like you've already made your conclusion whatever it is. Everyone I know who got into bitcoin was either a tech bro or youngtrepreneur type male in their 20s hoping to get rich quick or they were silk road customers.

    This is what prompted me to create this post:

    No Mr ATO-Man, none of that nasty BTC stuff here.

  • +6

    Not today MR ATO. I have Crypto but under my "friends" account somewhere outside Australia.

  • +1

    yeah not a good idea to disclose. almost like saying "hack me" please. One of the issues with crypto is that it creates thousands of "honey pots" easily hackable high value targets.

    • Disclose what exactly? If I told you I have $1 million in BTC what are you going to do exactly?

      • +1

        Simswap you. Hack you. Hit you in the head with a brick. Many such cases

      • +1

        They'd possibly try and track you down and test the security of your password :)

        https://xkcd.com/538/

      • It's just social engineering stuff. I have had silly arguments with people here and my email password then needs to be reset for example.Have seen this japanese movie from 00's where they track a kidnapper/bad guy using his SNS comments/information he gave up.

    • This is where education and security conscious thinking comes into play. If all the noobs are hanging out on pump.fun hoping to score lambos by using leverage on sh!t coins, then, yeah, they're portfolios are bound for destruction.

      • Plus boomers (in general) who don't know about computers but decided to invest. they may have wallets that someone else set up with thousands just sitting there.

  • +2

    yes, albeit 0.00005 of a coin that i mined from an old PC for about a month at work. so free is free.

    • oh, you just reminded me I once joined a trader for a free credit. I must check how that's going.

  • Just plain no

  • +1

    Someone gave me a Solana when they were worth about $30, sold it recently for $250. Would have sold it for $30 right away if I could be bothered.

  • nice uni assignment

  • everyone i know sold out ages ago

    they made big money but obviously but many of them wish they held on longer

    Bitcoin is the worst investment these days. It's no longer anonymous which was what crypto currency was initially meant to be. The only real coin to invest in is monero.

    • -1

      OK shill, back to influencer land you go.

      • 😂😂😂. Ok………..
        It's literally fact. Monero was built to be anonymous and untraceable. Which is what crypto currency was initially meant for. Wtf are you on about ?
