As for the members of the forum, there are not too many who have been active for more than 5 years, but as can be seen from some answers, some have kept part of their coins for more than 5 years. Yet here we are talking about a period when Bitcoin was still quite cheap compared to today (the price was measured in a few hundred $), and few believed that a value like today is possible.

I personally have some coins that I earned as a beginner through faucets or through signature campaigns, but unfortunately I did not keep everything I bought during 2014 and 2015 - I consider it a good lesson for the future. I also hope that the time will come when it will not be necessary to convert BTC into fiat in order to spend it in the usual places such as shopping malls, cafes, restaurants.
