I was introduced to bitcoin in 2013 by my friend, but I was skeptical about it. Back then I believed it was one of those investment schemes that usually crash within a short period of time . My friend tried everything he could to make me understand that bitcoin is the future of money, but I gave him no listening ears, he got tired of talking to me about bitcoin. I was waiting patiently for the day he will come crying to me that bitcoin has crashed and all his investments gone.
But to my biggest surprise and to my loss, I have been waiting for over a decade now and bitcoin has never crashed instead it has been gaining popularity and global adoption. My friend who first told me about bitcoin is now a millionaire in dollars. This happened before my very eyes and I have been a regret for not listening to him when he was talking to me about bitcoin. I haven’t made any significant progress in my financial life since then, but I was presented with the opportunity to change my narrative ten years ago but I couldn’t. Today marks it exactly ten years since my friend talked to me about bitcoin. I decided to take the bold step to adopt bitcoin and spread the knowledge to others.[...]
If you lose a golden investment opportunity like the one your friend recommended ten years ago, fortunately, the opportunities do not end with Bitcoin. As you mentioned, Bitcoin is the financial future. With its increased adoption by major countries and companies, it is expected that it will give new ATH again, so you must have sufficient courage, patience, experience, knowledge, and sufficient capital that you can afford to lose because Bitcoin, as you also mentioned, is not a get-rich-quick plan and its price fluctuates from time to time. Still, if you hold Bitcoin for the long term with patience and trust in its promising future, develop your skills, and set your plans and goals, then you are on the right way.
It is possible that 10 years from now, we will find many people who regretted it like you and ignored the advice and recommendations of you and others because they missed the opportunity they have now before the price of Bitcoin exploded. Therefore, every time and period, Bitcoin has discounts in its price, and the winner is the one who buys at the bottoms and in the shadow of the discounts, and waits patiently for the peaks and the bull market.
