Has nothing to do with intelligence. It was simply chance that the materials I was looking at were older, from before the price jumped, from the era where it was cheap enough that a normal wagie could buy gobs of them. Or they were timely articles in an economics magazine I subscribed to that catered to the wealthy; full of Cartier ads and such.

The need to buy parts of a Bitcoin arose later. 

 Probably also the problem that I was looking at German-language materials, but somehow missed the #einundzwanzig guys. I didn't find out about them, until after I'd bought some. 

 I can relate. I based my opinion on some bits and pieces that hit me back at a time...they were in Polish..it was a big mistake. 

 I believe in Providence, so I don't sweat it. I was apparently supposed to miss early Bitcoin and get early Nostr.
