Objectively, it's a humble-brag, as if Bitcoin users are somehow among the enlightened and, by anyone "missing out", they will forever be poor.

Or wait... actually I was told it's not too late! Bitcoin is only just getting started! If you don't buy now, you'll miss out on more future gains! Right!?

Well, it's becoming less of a compelling argument, when to even 2x your input, BTC would have to hit a mind boggling $118k USD per coin as of this very post. In essence, we are finding a diminishing point of returns already. You can do better than that much more easily and quicker on the stock market right now, by comparison.

It's like coiners want to play both sides of fence. They want to ridicule and taunt those that they say didn't see the light in 2009 or thereabouts, but at the same time, gain new recruits, so they can continue to fatten their holdings all the same.
