My friends be like:
The sheeple will be sheeple. They never research and pull the trigger on a great opportunity. Then they want to bemoan their lack of initiative afterward.
Even smart people like my father who is a brilliant CPA had opportunities in the 70's to buy BRK/A, in the 80's to buy Microsoft or Apple, and in the 90's to buy Amazon or Google. But he never did, and now he just says "I wish I had bought [this or that]..." He didn't even look at Netflix before it became a thing.
Moral of the story: Don't be the 99.99% who are always looking in the rearview at missed opportunities.
For some reason people remember things they should have done but didn't.... while at the same time tend to forget a lot other things they didn't do (and shouldn't). Memory is selective it seems. Things are just how they are, all the rest is bullshit.
I try to keep things in check..and have done worse things with BTC this year..but the one that stands out as an OUCH!
Is the 1.01 BTC I paid when BTC was worth about $1,150 bucks...thus I paid at $18,920.73 btc now $19,109.94 to pour cement in an old
cistern in my basement to level the floor up....for a workshop there....again OUCH!
I did worse, last year...but reminded every time I sweep the workshop floor. Ack!
