When the price of bitcoin shot to seemingly astronomic highs in the later part of 2017, more and more newbies entered the market sharing their “wisdom” as well as supposed investment prowess on social media.

Naturally, this was followed by a substantial amount of trolling and parody, much to the amusement of Twitter users. Put $14.00 into bitcoin last Thursday sitting on $22.

00 now lmaoo idk how y’all do that 9-5 shit

— Dank Memes (@DailyMemesPlug) December 9, 2017 Still Confused About Bitcoin?
Some people still don’t understand how bitcoin actually works and are not afraid to share that with the world. I hope Bitcoin is like Snapchat in that people stop talking about it before I have to learn what it is.

That also includes some well-known personalities such as U.S. comedian and TV show host Stephen Colbert. Wow, if I had invested $1,000 in Bitcoin last week, today I would have… still no idea how Bitcoin works.

The volatility of bitcoin still makes it somewhat difficult to use the digital currency to make purchases and keep track of the value of your funds at the same time. A boy asked his bitcoin-investing dad for 1 bitcoin for his birthday.

Dad: What? $15,554??? $14,354 is a lot of money! What do you need $16,782 for anyway?

However, those who have been investing in bitcoin for a while know that even if bitcoin drops by 30 percent in a day, which bitcoin did half a dozen times in 2017, the price will most likely recover again. And even if it doesn’t, bitcoin investors are very happy with the return on investment bitcoin has generated compared to other asset classes in the past twelve months. Bitcoin could lose 85% of it’s value and it would still be up more than 40% for the year 🤣 pic.twitter.com/cGN4iYYN5K

Venezuela’s president’s plan to launch a national cryptocurrency to boost the countries struggling economy quickly became a source of amusement for the Bitcoin community as it is unlikely that this venture can succeed in a mismanaged country like Venezuela. It appears Venezuela may soon have two centrally mismanaged currencies instead of one

Early adopters of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have made huge financial gains in the past twelve months. In some cases, this has even led to a past lover magically re-appearing in an early bitcoin user’s life. This is the phone of every dude who traded bitcoin back in 2011. pic.twitter.com/q8GVNvxJnA
— Taryn Southern (@TarynSouthern) December 9, 2017 Explaining What Bitcoin Is
As bitcoin finally managed to become mainstream in 2017, not many Bitcoin community members still want to explain what bitcoin is and how it works to those who are too lazy to google it.

Remember when Mufasa was killed in that stampede after asking someone to explain Bitcoin to him?

— Patrick Monahan (@pattymo) December 7, 2017 Bitcoin versus Bitcoin Cash
Perhaps the biggest event for bitcoin in 2017 was the hard fork on August 1, which created the controversial altcoin bitcoin cash (BCH). Leading up to the hard fork there was a lot of heated discussion surrounding bitcoin scalability, bitcoin cash, and the reasons behind the creation of this new altcoin.
The discussion, of course, did not end once bitcoin cash came to be. Instead, they continued in the same heated manner as before as bitcoin maximalists took on bitcoin cash supporters. However, some parties took the high road and resorted to humor instead of personal insults.

The peer-to-peer file sharing network Piratebay was famously one of these parties. https://t.co/2SEEvCVudJ

And smart contract inventor Nick Szabo was another.

“Bitcoin Cash” is centralized sock puppetry.
