I wish i started mining and bying bitcoins back in 2010 like the early adopters.
I was pretty stupid at that time. Angry

I don`t know what`s the point of this "research"?Do you have 21 btc?
I will never have 21 bitcoins.

This post is very useful, it allows to us to see a comparison on the average price as time has passed, in this year alone the amount of money needed to buy those coins has doubled if bitcoin keeps going in this direction it will not be long before it takes an amount of money that is out of the reach of most people in the world.

the only thing that the post you quoted shows, is that certain group of people will always remain where they are and never advance in their lives because they will always remain scared in the present and regret the past.
and unless they stop this behavior you will see them in the future saying the same thing about today: "i wish i did ... back then"

Yeah, this is true for so many things. Cryptocurrencies are an interesting example because after the sell off a few years ago many people abandoned the idea altogether as a failure. And now bitcoin is at an ATH and now we see alt market caps that surpass the ones from a few years ago.

The other thing to remember is that getting bitcoins early was only half the battle. Then you'd have to assume you'd navigate the minefield of scams, hackers, taxes, and exchange implosions while retaining most of your bitcoins before retiring in Tahiti.
