Today, I can only but imagine the thoughts, reactions and the regrets of those who took those rundowns seriously and failed to invest in bitcoin a decade or some 7, 6 years ago.
You don't have to imagine; you just have to let go. Some of them have retraced their way and made some corrections after seeing what bitcoin has turned out to be. I don't even blame some people who criticised bitcoin decades back because they never truly understood it, and it's normal to talk against something you don't understand. If you were there too, there is no guarantee that you could have been a supporter right from day one; some major holders currently were once among those who talked against bitcoin in the past.
