 "back in my day, we could buy a whole bitcoin for less than a hundred grand" https://i.nostr.build/BRZzj6RjVMKkWoss.jpg  
 “No way, grandpa!” 
 I remember the climb to 1K 
 Damn. Tell me about it. I really like those stories. I never get enough. Fascinating. 
 I had an alarm setup on my iPod Touch for when it reached that. It went off twice because it dippid a little below after hitting it  
 Proly felt like absolute Top back then. Didn't it? 
 Felt amazing. I wasn't holding any though.

Still was cool 
 I remember when I heard it hit 1k and that was the time I said:

“Oh ok, anyway. Let’s go back to real business. “

Yep
🦧 
 Hits hard! Damn! 
 You know, I was thinking about it some time ago and got to conclusion that actually it was good decision. I was not ready for it, I knew nothing, did not understand it. Had I bought it then I would probably sell it at 2k and then regret it, bought at the top, sell the bottom, got burned, hatted it and never want to comeback to it.

Years passed, I discovered Bitcoin myself, learned, listened, read whatever I found. Got burned in the meantime on shitcoins which only made me better, transformed my to Bitcoin only. Now I am in much more comfortable situation. I found bitcoin on the price level I deserve. Now I am just staying humble and stacking sats.

 I agree. Even buying it at 1$ did not guarantee having it now. Those who never sold it are true visionaries and good code readers...and they are the minority. I can't imagine not selling at 1K if you bought at 2.5$ for example. Story of our lifetime. 
 Yes, you can only get rich from bitcoin if you are in it for the freedom.

Otherwise you'll sell when you're up 50%.

So as bitcoin takes over the world, economic power will move to those who put freedom before wealth.  It's a beautiful thing.
