Had I bought BTC instead, I would now have an extra 0.67 BTC = $65,800.
I lost $59,300.
No you didn't. You lost a potential gain of $59,300. That's not the same as actually losing $59,300.
I don't think this is news to any OG on this here famous thread. We've all been there.
It's what I call a "shoulda, woulda, coulda".
Thinking like that I could say I lost 95K because way back in the day, I sold a coin at $500. Because at the time profit.
Yeah, of course, I didn't actually lose any capital. In fact, the LTC gave me more than a 3x gain over the years, so I made an extra $4500 out of the $2000 I put in. Way better than a bank or average stock.
But, as you've said, "shoulda, woulda, coulda"...
Bitcoin should be our primary, if not the only coin that's in our stash.
