I'll tell you guys a true story. Way back in 2010 I was in San Diego vacationing and riding a taxi. The driver told me about bitcoins, urging me to invest in it, that it's the future currency and will be very valuable one day. At that time bitcoin was less than 50 cents. I'd read about bitcoins then and considered it some kind of scam, so I kinda didn't show interest, and he retorted that one day I will remember him and what he told me. He spoke with such conviction that I never forgot that encounter. At times I wonder if that driver was Satoshi Nakamoto himself! The driver was of South Asian descent, perhaps from Punjab region of North India. In fact, he told me "One day I will remember a taxi driver wearing a turban" urging me to invest in bitcoins. Talk about encountering a bitcoin angel!

The medias and newspaper outlets are brain behind many individuals missed investing in Bitcoin at early stage. Had it been you read no negative remarks on Bitcoin to be some kind of scam, you would have adhere to the taxi driver advice to invest in Bitcoin when it was at 50 cent.

He might think that even the taxi driver is a scam lol. The media definitely portrayed bitcoin as a scam and it did not help that at that time pyramid schemes are so common. Maybe that is what most people thought because they did not proper research

You missed that big opportunity, I know you are not missing the opportunity to buy Bitcoin through DCA strategy cos I don't want to hear in many years to come, you will be telling us another story of yours on how you miss investing in Bitcoin when it was $100k after joining a Bitcointalk forum

Not impossible! Maybe not OP but others might be missing out on the opportunity right now.
