I've always hated those classic lines like:
“If you had bought Bitcoin in 2011, you’d be a millionaire today.”
Or worse: “If you had invested €100 in Bitcoin instead of going out to dinner…”
But seriously, what’s the point?
You can play that game with anything: Apple stock, real estate in Berlin, Basquiat paintings, even Panini football stickers. It’s always easy to look back and do the math with hindsight. Too bad that’s not how life works.
The truth is: you didn’t do it. And obsessing over it now doesn’t help.
It doesn’t teach you anything, it doesn’t bring you closer to understanding Bitcoin, and it definitely doesn’t motivate you to start. It’s like standing at the tracks staring at a train that already passed, forgetting that another one might be on the way.
But there’s one thing I do love about all-time highs.
For once, it feels like everyone holding Bitcoin is winning together.
Whether you bought ten years ago or yesterday. No one is “down.” No one “bought too high.” (Except maybe the ones who sold too early, but oh well 😬)
It feels like a collective reward. A quiet little moment of “you made it.” A small pat on the back for your patience. A whisper saying: “You’re not alone. You’re not crazy. You’re still here."
And let’s be honest, a bit of satisfaction for all the times they didn’t believe in you. 🩷
So, good job whoever is holding some sats!
