The same could be said of MySpace Tom, he made a fortune despite goons having a short-lived hateboner for MySpace.
Speaking of Bitcoin, I started seriously looking into it when goons were making fun of it, since goons always tend to be wrong about everything, and I made a nice little profit. Not like, crazy amounts of money, but I bought two figures worth and sold at four figures. Thanks, goons, you guys will buy into any Kickstarter ever en masse, but you scoffed at Bitcoin when it was pennies per coin.
Even when Bitcoin values were skyrocketing, some goons went "uhh maybe I should get in on this", while some just kept doubling down and going "HAR HAR YOU'RE ALL DUMBASSES BUTTCOIN IS DUMB YOURE ALL GETTING SCAMMED". That was when it was hitting, like, $1000/coin. I was already long gone when it hit $10k/coin.
