That sentence caught my attention as well.
I have missed that chart for 4 complete years, or worse 7 considering the first unintentional BTC purchase to a wallet.dat that I lost lol. Starting 2017 I was always saying, oh those Bitcoin maxis what are they thinking 🤔 7 transactions per second! Are you kidding me?
So, I didn't invest, I didn't learn, I wasn't curious enough to ask, and instead I kept fighting fiat bosses for pennies until it gradually but surely and suddenly sunk in and I woke the fuck up.
