I wonder how much of your thoughts and beliefs are tied to the happenstance circumstances of your entry into bitcoin vs others. From my very possibly faulty memory from podcasts, you purchased many bitcoin over 6/7 years ago. And have sold many along the way (for a house is one specific example iirc). You are likely a millionaire many times over with whatever coins you haven’t sold along the way.

Now compare that to someone who learned of bitcoin in the last 2-4 years. Perhaps they have a liquid net worth, through diligent savings, of 300,000. Is buying 10 btc with that savings the right call? It’s a much tougher decision when it’s all of your net worth to buy a “small” amount of bitcoin. While your experience was one of buying perhaps hundreds of bitcoin for a relatively smaller % of your net worth.

Hopefully bitcoin continues its growth upwards in price. Not sure it will at the same rate as it did over its first decade, but I am betting on it increasing dramatically.

Overarching point though is that your conviction is because you’ve been made rich and iirc retired off your bitcoin windfall. So your position is of course biased by the timeline of events you experienced, which likely will differ from someone else entering the space later.

Please don’t take this to be a, oh you’re just lucky response, it isn’t that at all. Nor is it one where I don’t understand the pain of hodling through the 80% drawdowns, I’m personally in my second one. It is hard, but rewarding. But not for everyone.
