Everyone makes a mistake when they first discover bitcoin. Most make the mistake of thinking they’re too late.

I made the opposite mistake. I knew I was early. Very early. So early that it might not work and thus only worth casual effort.

I could literally be a billionaire if I knew then what the average pleb knows now…but back then nobody understood what bitcoin was and we didn’t have the Saifs and Saylors to lay it out in concrete terms.

Bitcoin reveals all mistakes. While I regret mine, I have benefited from this simple rule: the best time to correct a mistake is as soon as the mistake is discovered.

Yeah - I remember realising at some point that while I was relatively late (we're all still early), I was not disadvantaged.

I had access to great content that allowed me to avoid many significant traps for newbies. It enabled me to quickly (over 12-18 months) develop strong conviction in this stuff.

The last cycle was disappointing to me but in hindsight it has been great for stacking.

What's coming is going to be epic & I'm grateful for this opportunity to free myself from fiat slavery.

Thank you Satoshi
