Bilaji playbook: 1. Own some significant amount of BTC (let's just say 1000 BTC (~$25M)). 2. Make bold prediction that price will rise and put $1M on line. 3. Know it will fail but it will cause market to pump. 4. BTC rises from $25k to $50k in 90 days. 5. Pay $1M, gain $25M.

If you had $10,000 of Bitcoin on July 31st, and sold your BCash on August 2 for Bitcoin, you'd have $37,500 today. If you held both, you'd have $33,250. If you sold your Bitcoin for BCash, you'd have $16,250. #REKT

Bitcoin does not owe you anything just because you promoted it a few years ago. Bitcoin does not owe you anything because you failed to understand or plan how wide usage might change things. You don't owe Bitcoin anything either, and if you had the wrong idea, then move on.
