I knew about Bitcoin since 2011 and started getting really involved in late 2013.
I was convinced that I was a late adopter. Even though the mood in the forums was mostly optimistic in 2014, I felt sad knowing that I knew about Bitcoin back when it was in the single digits and didn't act on it.
I forgot about Bitcoin in 2015 as college studies got in the way. But those coins... I still kept them. I also had quite a few in alts too which I never sold.
Now I'm selling 2/3rds of my entire stash and will be buying a house (fully paid, no mortgage) thanks to Bitcoin.
And of course, I will be putting the money that would otherwise go into rent payments back into Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
Because Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are the future of money. It is truly a technology that will span generations.
Thank you Bitcoin.

Wow, awesome to hear that. Everyone always thinks that they are late to enter Bitcoin, but we still don't know what the future holds. Even though the price seems high now, we could potentially still be in the early phases as Bitcoin still hasn't really entered mainstream yet.
I still regret not getting in as early as I could have but I am glad I got involved when I did because I definitely see Bitcoin becoming more and more useful as time progresses. I just hope we can resolve issues such as confirmation times and high fees to prevent alternative solutions from replacing Bitcoin.
