When I was introduced to Bitcoin, I didn't believe in it either. I thought it was already suspiciously expensive (when the price was in the range of hundreds of dollars), and I didn't believe something purely digital could be considered real money and have real value. And that was years later than the guy in the tweet. It's understandable that it was a different time when it wasn't easy to believe in something so different from the rest of money and the rest of the asset market as well. What's important is to learn from mistakes. Both our own and those of others.
Facts.
Normal for sure to be in doubt of something we know nothing much about because that is where learning takes place once curiousity and interest are fed. Many people still at this point are in doubt of Bitcoin and this technology in general inspite of seeing how far it is now. Let them be in doubt and wait for them to ask you why you are here in this industry. It would be hard explaining or atleast forcing a knowledge to someone who's not open in the first place to new idea. FUDs just that strong which causes fear to other investors. Perhaps right now that new ATH is already made, why are people afraid to make a purchase if we often say its market price which reach higher heights? Guess it's the same with those who knew Bitcoin on the early stage. Lesson? Would you just wait and be afraid or have the courage and know why many people are looking forward for its further growth in the future.

I'm really pained that I didn't invest in Bitcoin sooner, but I'm glad that I'm here now


You are crying over spilled milk like many others - because I first heard about BTC in 2011, but I didn't invest in it until 2014 and I don't consider it something to regret. In those first years, only a few understood what it was really about, but all those who were still suspicious even after BTC existed for 10 years are the ones who should regret the missed opportunity.

However, who says that those who invest today will not achieve at least x10 profit in 10 years? Of course, it's not all about profit, Bitcoin is still much more for those who want more Wink
Definitely. There's no such thing as 'too late' if an asset has the potential to grow over the years. Bitcoin and this industry could still be young given that recognition still is in progress from many countries.
