I don't like articles and reasoning about "if you had invested earlier..." and the like. These are all tears of FOMO and have nothing to do with useful thoughts that can be practical in the future. Nobody knew that Bitcoin would grow, and those who invested at the beginning were those who had extra money and enthusiasm, unfortunately I didn't have extra money then, although I knew about Bitcoin from the time when it cost 50-100 dollars. Let's focus on analysis and the ability to multiply your deposit, and not dream about "what would have happened if we sold everything and bought Bitcoin in 2010-2012, it doesn't matter."
Yes.
Also, the same principles that drove the massive gains in Bitcoin still apply.
So, of course, the rewards are not going to be the same as before, because there is way less risk now, but it is still a great investment.
The reality is that most people who say things like this will most probably never invested at the time, even if they knew.
And if they would have invested, they would have probably sold when the price doubled.
