I reckon that Bitcoin is the best asset that I've ever invested and there's no lie to that. It had even made me an investor despite of having not so good background investing. And with those people with the collaboration of media, they're portraying Bitcoin as something bad and only used by criminals or used to get paid illegal services. I think that this thought will never be gone but at least it's changing. From those people that have the idea that they'll be scammed through investing in Bitcoin, they probably have the experience of being scammed once online and that's why they don't dare to invest in Bitcoin. Anyway, results will be the noise later on and they can't ignore how Bitcoin moves as an asset that's highly volatile and they will not deny that fact once they've started to open their minds.
Yeah going by your forum registration date tabas, you have had 7 years registered in the forum and perhaps a possibility of having had gotten involved in bitcoin for nearly two full cycles - however, we know that many times, it can take a decent amount of time to build an investment position - unless you are bringing resources from the outside and reallocating some of your investment portfolio into bitcoin.
Yes, gone through with 2016 and 2020 halving and saw the cycles how it had through and done many mistakes as well. But despite that, I did some allocation into some other investments and ventures and still have the most chunk of my assets in bitcoin and vice versa. And all of that thanks to Bitcoin that has likely it's the one that has pushed me to go into learnings more about itself and what's actual investing. So, it's like one asset/investment but had taught me more about the actuality of investing, for real.
A brand new investor might take 10 years or more just to build his/her investment portfolio into something in which s/he is starting to feel as if the investment portfolio is starting to become of a substantial size that is meaningful and potentially life changing.
Exactly, I've understood this by looking at the stock investors and traders. I've got nothing against them but I've learned this from a friend of mine that's investing into stocks and had expressed that he's optimistic with it but it's a slow progress unlike what we've got with Bitcoin's volatility which I like more obviously.
