It’s easy to think you “missed” Bitcoin. In fact, nearly every Bitcoiner thinks this when they first begin stacking.

Consider the alternatives. If you put that same $1K into “alts,” you’ll almost certainly lose out in Bitcoin terms. Same is true of stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, and every other asset.

Important to remember, also, that the timechain doesn’t stop when any milestone is reached. $100K, $500K, and $1M are merely pit stops on the path to infinity in dollar terms.

Stay humble. Save in Bitcoin. Focus on your craft. Achieve financial freedom.

The only Bitcoiners who didn’t feel like they “missed it” at first were those were so early that they didn’t think it likely that Bitcoin would succeed.

Consider the benefit of how de-risked Bitcoin has become since then.

I first bought Bitcoin in 2011 as a poor student. Was too risky to put in more than 50 or 100 bucks at a time and I never hodled. Fast forward ten years and I feel the same way about holding fiat. Too risky.

My experience is quite similar.

Bitcoin is savings technology.

You still need to find a way to create more value than you consume.

Indeed
