It gives Joy telling such a story of your early beginning. I see the happiness in you for a successful life you are living. You know when starting as an early adopter otherwise new bie you would have no knowledge of how a system works not until you have spent a little time navigating through the entire process then you would get it clear what is obtainable. Just like you started, I too started same way but along the line your initial mentality about the whole process would definitely change and you would not reason it as you normally do that is how the bitcoin movement is. It is nice you are sharing this and I believe other new bie would see this too to know it is not a one day magic.
