Before another surge, I want to share that, in only 10 years Bitcoin has risen to $9,000 from a mere $0.01, while our savings in fiat money continue to devalue every year because of inflation.

Buy the dip, and HODL.

You made a really very strong argument. One can only imagine how the government is deceiving us, especially considering that in my country over the past 10 years the national currency has fallen in price against the dollar by almost 3 times, and the minimum wage has grown by five times, while many officials have become millionaires, owners of yachts and beautiful Villas on the Cote d'Azur. But it’s even hard to imagine what People theoretically lost as an investor, given the scale of Bitcoin growth over the 10 years.

To be fair, I doubt that it is representative to measure bitcoin from it's earliest adoption phases, in which it had almost no value, even though the point of sound money still holds true for bitcoin... and of course, in bitcoin we are still likely in the earliest of stages of an exponential s-curve adoption phase, yet the more mature bitcoin becomes, the more likely we will be able to compare it to other more mature assets, and sure many of us have seemingly sound conjectures that bitcoin is going to continue to serve as a gravitational magnate for value.. absent some kind of major downfall in the technology or the exploitation of an attack vector that is NOT adequately appreciated or understood at this time.

In other words, still seems that bitcoin continues to serve a great asymmetric bet that continues to provide a lot of upside potential and maybe even no need to really gamble or leverage in order to personally profit stupendously from bitcoin merely by either starting to accumulate or just continuing to accumulate BTC to an extent that is personally reasonable and feasible and maybe NOT investing so much or too much that you may have to sell BTC that is not at a time of your own choosing.

In other words, even though bitcoin seems to continue as a very great asymmetric bet to the upside, there could be periods in which bitcoin prices are manipulated down and continue to stay down for unreasonable periods of time in order to attempt to shake as many HODLers out of their bitcoin as is possible, and in those circumstances, each of us has to be careful that we are not shaken out of some or all of our bitcoin at a time that is NOT of our own choosing.
