I always enjoy when maxis reveal their first buy. You will rarely see a maxi from 2009-2014? Why?
Because OGs in contrast to maxis are already rich, don't need BTC to go to a million to make them generational wealth and therefore can see clearly where Monero improved upon Bitcoin.
Plenty of early Bitcoiners (if not all) are publicly outspoken about Monero or secretly hold it for its unique characteristics, and dedicated community.
