... slow and late to the party were we?
Before I lost interest towards BTC in 2013Dec, I had made around +2000%. The past two years I have made around +250% by mostly trading alts. With this this pump alone, I made +43,2% with the help of some alts that are strongly tied to BTC value. Now I'm out of BTC dependent alts until Willy pops it's head out again.
I could of made more when I would have been one of those 1$ early adopters, but well, I'm not one of those guys who buys drugs or trades childporn through darkweb, so, I'm not exactly surprised that I didn't notice BTC back then. And I'm not especially sad about it also, because trading crypto isn't a job to be taken seriously, but just a fun form of entertainment, like going to the casino. Luckily the chances are better then in a casino, because the house is quite predictable. Little greedy pigs like you increase the entertainment value of this game a lot also.
so, in one word, yes. Very slow and very late to the party.
Bitcoin and you would both be better off if you stayed away until it is ready for the densest ones to use. There's something serious happening here you haven't quite grasped (god knows how you missed it being as you hang around so much like a sad little groupie trying to figure what the cool kidz are talking about).
