So long as nullius pleases nullius, then who gives any shits?
Oh yeah, i forgots mi lil selfie about dee off-springenings.
Oops.
You would think an MIT grad and subsequent computer simulations modeler would've understood Bitcoin back in 2013.
I'm no MIT grad and I got it almost immediately back then.
Hell within a few days of research, I completely understood how groundbreaking a breakthrough it was, and how it would fundamentally change the financial world.

While that all makes sense, one must first actually stick their head in the rabbit hole before one can start to understand.
edit: 'tis one of my regrets that I did not give the rabbit hole more than a cursory glance at first sight. Oh well. C'est la guerre.
Huh, jbreher?
What's your rabbit hole story? You may have said. I cannot remember specifics.
You did not start buying BTC right away? At least small amounts? You may have sold too many too soon. I think that i heard you reveal something like that, previously.
I have probably been interacting with you since mid-to-late 2014.. perhaps early 2015, and seems that you had accumulated some BTC in Bitcoin's pre-2013 era.
Sure, maybe a lot of us do not accumulate as many BTC as we retroactively conclude that we should have, and of course, June 2011 would have given you a whole year to accumulate single digit BTC and then a bit more than another 1/2 year to acquire BTC in the teens (below $20).
So, sure, there could have been some selling too much too soon (to the extent that you acquired very many).
Another problem that seems to have been present in those early days would have been feeling comfortable with locations to buy, and by the time I got in late 2013, Coinbase had been decently established and in operation for a bit over a year from what I can see from my research.. So, Coinbase was pretty easy for me, even though they had buy limits, I don't recall running too heavily up against those limits, for some reason (although the first 30 days or so was the worst, while they were validating my account).
Anyhow, the introduction of exchanges like Coinbase, and then Circle in 2014 and Gemini in 2015 (and sure some other exchanges, depending on location, too) did seem to help some peeps onboarding quite a bit easier in those early days of uncertainty regarding just how to safely to get a hold of some little fiends.
