Nah. I have many friends who could get in and around 20k per coin and which is insanely cheap for corn. They didn’t. I was buying at $60k. First time I got curious about Bitcoin it was around 800 bucks. I didn’t buy anything until it was 8k. And even then I didn’t appreciate it and was playing with shitcoins instead of stucking. If I bought at 800 bucks I would sell when it got to 10k. Most of us if we got early we would sell it by now. People who got in very early and still hold most of it are OGs and if not them Bitcoin wouldn’t go as far as it went. Holdlers set the floor and their conviction is why many of new people didn’t sell when bear market was bad. There is people who drive shitty cars, dont go for nice holidays, dont buy trendy clothes, dont go out often, to stack more today, at these prices. They live cheaply, they want to have better future. Some stack for the children. You get Bitcoin at the price you deserve.

Caught up with a buddy this week whose roommate was mining in 2011. He sold it all and blew it on all the trappings life has to offer. He was in super early, but never understood it. He had to get it at the price he deserved with the rest of us. Almost all of us have a story of hearing about it 10 or more years ago. The information was always there, we just didn’t do the research. It’s worth internalizing.

I regret nothing. Its gonna take me years till im rich. If healthy I will get there one day. I want to retire before im very old, so I try to stack as much as I can. I dont see a better plan. Sometimes I stack less, I want to live also. Learning new skills in case this thing fails. If it doesn’t, great. Its been hell of a journey

I’m with you man. I’m fortunate enough to make a good living, have a wife onboard, and having a family on the way, I’ll take another 5 years or so of work and the ability to walk away over 25 years of dread on a hamster wheel never knowing if I’ll have enough to make it later in life. Could I have been done now if I took that 4 figures in BTC in 2014 instead of dollars, probably. But I’d have blown it when it 2x’d and probably gone into full BTC derangement syndrome.

ALERT! High Signal Detected. I just started staking at the all time high, down all the way to 58k (believe it or not). Thanks to all you psychopaths, I have 0 fear and am actually happy everytime it drops. I even dream of sideways action for a long time. Different mindset I suppose.
