Mine was a question.  Could have even been two questions, except for my lack of proper punctuation.


That's what she said.

meaning...
I am not supposed to explain further.. because it's an expression.. and it fits with a bit of broad interpretation.


I'm thinking that Ambatman would have had started investing into BTC before his forum registration date (right around 20 months) to have greater than 5x price appreciation, even though it surely is possible that his numbers could be that well..

One of the difficulties with newbies is that it can take a decently long time to stack, unless the newbie is able to front-load his investment, which truly would have been the better scenario for someone with a bitcoin tenure date like Ambatman's.

I am thinking back to what I would have done if I had just learned about bitcoin at that time and if my circumstances were similar to my circumstances in late 2013 when I actually did start. 

I think that it would have had been difficult to frontload.  I would have had some of the funds for frontloading, so it would not have had been impossible, but still difficult...and difficult to transpose my own situation to a later date, since I became a different person 9.5 years after getting involved in bitcoin.

An overwhelming majority of people are not in a position to frontload their bitcoin investment, so if the BTC price is going up as they come in they are paying higher and higher prices, and maybe at some point they might just end up buying in bulk.. but still hard to do, even when we were mostly in the $55k to $70k range for about 8 months.
