Note the following, when you say "I got in in 2014" you get, "bUt YoU gOt iN EaRLy, iTs tOO LaTE nOw".
However, from about March of 2013 (11 years) the upward progression is over time basically constant. Early was long before most successful Bitcoiners were "in".
People have a choice, they can make excuses or money, but not both.
everybody that held it for x years made money. what is x?
When did you get in? Was it 2013?
Correct! Early is now!

That's a log scale you fucking troglodyte
Unless you were on the Cypherpunk's mailing list back then(which I was not) there was a big learning curve in 2014. You had to have some kind of quirky facination with cryptography, Austrian economics, libertarian philosophy, cybersecurity or game theory.
I was skeptical, but thouht, if this is what people say it is, I should be able to ask for it on Twitter.
Someone gave me like a buck fifty worth. I was like, I don't understand this, but it works. That 's probably worth like $500 today, but I spent about 6 months studying before I bought any. I also used it as spending money, which is an obvious mistake in hindsight, but necessary in my education.
If people like Hal Finney were right, we still have a 100x potential from here so even if you only had 21 million sats in that scenario, you would still have a couple million bucks.
I don't have a crystal ball, of course, but if the first person to ever recieve bitcoin from someone else is right, If you bought bitcoin today, you're still early, but not everyone can stomach the swings. It's like nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs
says. You have to have what Carrol Dweck calls a growth mindset.
Conviction can overcome your lateness.
I didn't realise this until I found out that most people who found Bitcoin early, made some enormous mistakes.
I believe this trend will continue. So many will sell their sats this epoch & will never get them back.
If you feel like you don't have enough sats, what you're really lacking is conviction.
I’m just getting into bitcoin this year as an investment, thanks to your podcast and those people you have interviewed on the subject. Thank you.
