This month that bitcoin has risen abruptly compared to the previous months, a lot of people have created new topics asking for help about their funds. For example
this gentleman appeared out of nowhere after 9 years that had bought bitcoins and created a new thread, explaining that
he found a paper wallet that was damaged in his closet. And now I'm asking myself, why now? Let's assume that he had bought 100 bitcoins in 2012. By 2016, he would have a great fortune. By the end of 2017 an even bigger.
Don't they read the news? Because if I had bought that amount of coins a decade ago, I'm sure that I'd see out of curiosity how well it has gone. Since the paper wallet was in his closet, it means that he didn't care that much.
Another
bad example is
this thread in which
iwoswinvs (who is probably a liar) announces on a forum that he owns 50,000 bitcoins. I think there are more people like the first one, though.
Indeed buying bitcoin a decade ago would have made a huge and unbelievable impact on someone's life right now. If only we were able to foresee the future, we're all billionaires by now already. It's a shame we never saw this coming, even during its first massive pump, we still lost hope as it ended up dumping real hard. I hope we can learn our lesson now and start putting up our faith on bitcoin more than we ever had before. There's not much to lose if we'll believe but there is so much to gain if we keep our hopes high on bitcoin.
