After how many years?
1) did you finally buy your first sat after “hearing about this bitcoin thing”
2) did you “get” bitcoin?
As for me,
1) 4 years, heard about it in 2013, tried getting it but there was no avenue other than mt gox- and it was convoluted. Plus I didn’t really try hard enough to buy.
2) about 2 yrs. when it finally clicked and got obsessed and the conviction has only been growing.
