Today, 3 BTC seems like a lot of money, but before that was not the case, especially during 2015 when 1 BTC was worth just over $200.

I also went through those days, selling BTC at the end of 2017, and I think by that time it was worth a lot.
But looking now it is even beyond my expectations, but of course there is no regret even though I sold in the past at a low price.

This was my income, meaning that "if you kept all of it today you would have millions" is not possible for me, if I kept it all, then how am I suppose to live? What will I use to pay my bills? Food? Rent? I had to cash that out and I do not regret it a single bit to be fair. It does feel great to have this chance at the very least.

A realistic and not overly imposing answer that you should not sell Bitcoin or just hold without selling anything.
Anyone has the right to sell their property for various reasons, especially related to survival, paying internet bills, electricity, water, food, rent, etc.

Those who can get through that and still have some savings from the past, they may still be lucky to be able to invest.
But it's certainly different when one only lives from Bitcoin and from this forum.

You seem to have been in the crypto space for quite some time before you were on this forum.

It's not that it's not smart enough, there are many things that make someone skeptical about the new payment method,
especially Bitcoin which is just known as a digital currency which at that time was still not recognized by anyone and the price was still very cheap.

If you think about it now, there are more people who will be interested, but the price is also expensive and also depends on how the regulations are enforced.

I remember that thread, and the advice is similar then to now: why would you discuss it in a public forum?
:-)

Actually, it doesn't matter if you want to discuss anything in a public forum, even if it is closely related to Privacy.
The important thing is that you do not give out your identity, do not give your private key and do not give out your personal wallet address.
You just need to tell a story or anything, I don't expect you to provide detailed information about your Bitcoin holdings.
