 The harsh reality is that tickets were available to everyone on earth with an internet connection. You didn’t even need money early on. Bitcoin was literally free, people were just giving it away. So technically yes you did have the ability to buy a ticket. Even though I bought fairly early, I should have been here even earlier. I knew about bitcoin in 2011 and chose not to act. That’s true for most OG’s. Then when we finally did act we had to endure ridicule about our beliefs in addition to the emotional volatility of our investment. It wasn’t easy in the slightest and most of the people I know from back then are out of bitcoin now. Very few hodled.
