And the OP was outlived by bitcoin, Lol, he is no longer active in this community but the thread he started though is crazy. I think majority of us here, their lives has change since they began investing on bitcoin and there could be more millionaires now, again thanks to the invention of Satoshi.
But I still think some of us are still in the journey, trying to live the lives that we all dream of and this could be accomplished through bitcoin. So it's not late to invest and think 10 years in the future.
Sure there can be variations in which benefits start to show for people early in the Bitcoin journey, but I doubt that a bitcoin journey is going to be automatically positive, unless there is a way to make sure that studying is done, planning happens, and there is execution that may well end up getting tweaked at various points in order to be able to learn along the way of the bitcoin journey.
Another thing is that anyone getting into bitcoin in the last 2-3 years, may well be feeling some pains and struggles, and similar things could be true for some folks who got into bitcoin as far back as 3-5 years ago, if they had been playing their cards badly, including some folks may have been engaging in leveraging and gambling practices that can be quite dangerous in terms of forcing the removal of coinz... It seems to me that a certain amount of prudence and patience tends to be part of many journeys that will then have better chances of improving various aspects of life conditions... attacks on bitcoin are not likely to stop, and battles in regards to bitcoin are not likely to stop, so in that regard, there are likely needs to prepare financially and psychologically for how those kinds of likely inevitable battles and bitcoin price volatility are going to play out.
