I found the below image online, this was exactly 13 years ago when the price of bitcoin was still as good as zero
These are the kinds of reference newbie need to learn from to give them more assurance in investing more with bitcoin over time, there have been no othet best illustration than to take a step back in looking at how it all start from 2009 till date.
it is seen on the table that exactly today, being the 6th of October, 2009(13 years ago), with $1, one could purchase BTC1,130.53...
I then tried to calculate what BTC1,130.53 is worth today according to Bitcoin's current market price, and I am indeed overwhelmed

Those that are early in it have the pleasure today to enjoy ever making the right decision back then, those i felt sorry for and now regretting their decisions were those that couldn't manage to even hold for long, we all know life is risk, to make it also involves taking a risk but we are all afraid of the risk taking.
Makes me kind of asking myself where I was and what was I doing at this time 13 years ago 
Maybe somewhere in highschool or after seeking admission into a tertiary institutions or propably learning trade
but i can bet you that even you are aware of it then you may probably be among those that will say it's a scam how is it possible, lol.
