At that time, I bought only $10 worth of Bitcoin and after a few days I couldn't find the diary and forgot the password. Later, I thought I had lost only $10 and put it out of my mind. But recently, when we moved house, I found the diary and found the seeds of that many years old wallet and opened the old wallet from 4-5 years ago with the password and was very happy because at that time I was seeing $108 in the wallet instead of $10, although the amount was not much, I was still very happy, it felt like I had found Aladdin's lamp. It's actually a very surprising thing to find something I lost, and even more so if it comes back tenfold. I thought, "Oh, if I had put $1,000 or $5,000 instead of $10 at that time, that amount would have become a huge asset today, with which I could have started a new business."
We must know how to enjoy the small pleasures that life offers us and not have regrets. Especially in crypto.
However, experience has taught me that right now people have the same mindset of "it can't go any higher, we are at the top". Same as in 2017, same as in 2014.
People just do not learn.
Unfortunately, it's true that governments don't learn either. Everyone keeps making the same mistakes, in every field.
This thread about these 2 euros is truly symbolic: indeed, when we try to orange pill someone who tells us they don't have the money to invest, we can respond that depriving ourselves of a coffee on a terrace (or equivalent) from time to time and investing it in DCA BTC instead won't deprive them of anything (or at least not much).
The site could give us an interesting overview for a DCA of 2 dollars/per day since December 2017 ($14/week)
