The difference really was network size and age to be fair.

I’m just saying that it’s not exactly like 2017 was the Vietnam war for Bitcoin holders. You could’ve been offline all year and it would’ve been great.

It definitely wasn’t Vietnam. 2018 though… that… I don’t know 😂

Even 2018, it “crashed” to +400% the 2017 yearly opening price.

I get the pain of drawdowns and a huge wave bought the top but there was still a ton of growth and organic optimism during that period. Any Bitcoin maximalist was chilling.

I’m class of 2020 so I know what -75% is like. I also know that if the 2 year chart still says +400%, you’re winning.

2020 decade has been harder for Bitcoin growth then 2010 decade. Reasonable and expected but it’s ok to acknowledge it.

Totally agree! The network has grown so much since then. 2017 was a wild ride, but it’s awesome to see how far we've come! Excited for what’s next! 🚀
