By the way, from my own experience, I do appreciate that there are some folks who may have accumulated a decent investment portfolio in various assets over several years of their investing life, and maybe even accumulated $500k or $1million or more in terms of the size of their investment portfolio, and someone like that might want to be a bit more aggressive in term of their BTC allocation and even front loading and even appreciate having something like a $2,250 per day investment potential.

So, someone like that would maybe want to invest $100k into bitcoin and might want to invest $500 or $600 per day for the next 6 months in order to front load invest into BTC. But if they just started out 6 months ago, even they would not yet have seen price appreciation of the value of their BTC portfolio, with around 12.2 BTC accumulated in order to help set themself up for future consumption of hookers, lambos and blow.

Getting in at the right time, is equally important of getting out at the right time.
I know that probably if I had known BTC 5 years ago, or more, or in 2009, I would have lost/spent/rage bought/rage sold/messed around way more than I actually did with my precious sats, more recently ~~gained~~ bought.
(Not that It wouldn't had ben the right thing to do, ask Laszlo).

I think that in about the past year or so (maybe less than that), I started suggesting that people getting into BTC to start out with a minimum of a 4-5 year investment time horizon in mind because I had noticed that even if there had been a decent amount of front loading, many persons getting into BTC would likely be better off considering their BTC investment time horizon at least 4-5 years, if not longer.

Surely, there are going to be some folks who might be able to play this time horizon in shorter time frames without engaging in too much of a gambling approach, and surely sometimes blow off tops can become somewhat clear - even while most normies (and if you are not too elderly to have at least a 4-5 year time line) are likely going to be better off to allow a longer time line, including the playing out of a couple of BTC cycles.. to the extent that cycles might continue (and we have no real evidence that they are not going to continue in some kind of a way).

By the way, regarding Laszlo, I get the impression that he does not have regrets - even though anyone can proclaim that hindsight is 20/20, but there are a lot of earlier adopters who appreciated that spending of BTC was not a bad thing for the experimentations with bitcoin, and surely there are some early adopters who have learned to replace their spending of BTC too.

I will concede that with many many folks there is going to be a decent amount of "what if" thinking, so surely some of that is natural, and hopefully many people who are mature about their life decisions are going to be able to write those kinds of decisions off, and even appreciate that they made those kinds of decisions based on the best information that they had in front of them, at that particular moment. Another thing is to attempt to learn from the past how to be more prepared in the present for what might happen in the future, and also to accept that mistakes are likely to be made, no matter what trade-offs might end up playing out on a personal level.
