[...] even if you are still spending a considerable amount of time trying to figure out what it is that you invested into, exactly. hahahahahaha [...]
Working on that on almost a daily basis since Q3 2013. And admittedly still barely have a clue. But since it glows in the dark I can't stop looking at it and investigate why.
There are so many levels of bitcoin including but not limited to technicals, socio-economics, political, financials - including market performance, relations to other projects other assets and other crypto projects, and even when you believe that you might begin to grasp some aspects of bitcoin specifically, there evolve more aspects to learn whether those are changes or just changes in the relationships.
Even history changes depending on who is telling the story, so we are battling actual facts and made up shit... such as the BCH story that they are the real bitcoin.
OG = original gangster
I think that the label is relative because in part it can signify how long you have been around the space and it can signify how much you know or how involved you have been. So, maybe you and I have been around the space for a similar time, but then newer comers might consider us to be OG, but we might not consider ourselves to be OG relative to folks who got in earlier or relative to folks who may have been more involved in the space. I have heard some folks claiming to be a kind of OG because they got involved in 2016, and since things move so fast, that could be considered OG to someone who just got involved in late 2017 or early 2018.
