OP, the time you mentioned is a bit odd because people were not that aware of Bitcoin back then. Most people in the world today know that Bitcoin is a valuable asset, a bit like a goose that lays golden eggs. If you had known and understood Bitcoin 14 years ago, you might have dismissed it as trivial. Instead of regretting the past, start investing slowly and accumulating Bitcoin now that you know about Bitcoin. Maybe 14 years from now, you will look back at the market value and say why it was so low. So accumulate Bitcoin and hold on to it.
