Back then no one knew or expected that bitcoin will reach this kind of price, i don't even know bitcoin until mid 2015 and i consider myself quite early to get into crypto. Even if i know bitcoin in 2009 i won't buy it until the first surge in 2012/2013 and then after the crash i would've sold all of my bitcoin anyway. But right now is different when crypto is quite popular and adoption is not a pipe dream anymore. Maybe in ten years we will look at another perspective when the price right now is considered cheap.
