For sure there are a variety of ways that people start, and likely the more time we spend learning about bitcoin, we figure out a few things about it.... not that I had ever gotten into mining.. so I am having to sometimes see what others are saying about it and surely we can still look at some of the mining metrics too..and become amazed.. oh including that some of the new ways that bitcoin is being discussed and analyzed did not really exist in 2013/2014..

.....and so I don't really claim to be much of a 2013 bitcoin person since I started to study bitcoin in November 2013 and to make my plans around bitcoin and to start to buy some bitcoin at that time.. but it takes a bit of time, to try to learn - even though some of my basics still stuck from 2013, while I probably just continued to absorb little things here and there along the way and through the years.. similar to you, but at the same time different from you..

since we have different personalities, areas of interest, probably different ways of investing into bitcoin (and other assets) and other various different individual factors, too.. and so surely part of the benefits of this forum is to run a few of our stories past each other from time to time.... almost 10 years of bitcoin for me.. .. life before bitcoin and life after getting into bitcoin.
