Unfortunately, I was in the exact same situation as you, unfortunately I discovered Bitcoin after. He was the first, which means that over 7 billion people were doing different things than Laszlo and were not trying to buy with Bitcoin.
This is my small consolation.

If Bitcoin succeeds, even at a 10-20% of its maximum potential, it means it's never too late to start now! That's my small inspiration

The best time to buy bitcoin was in 2010.
The second best time to buy bitcoin is today.
This is my small inspiration, that helps me deal with the fact that I was playing videogames in 2010 instead of being around here.
I like your little inspiration. Obviously, it won't be possible to get Bitcoin back to the 2010 price! That time is long gone; we now have a different event horizon. Buying today isn't a bad choice! It's the only thing that really matters now! Buy and hodl. We should never give too much weight to the value of Bitcoin today but to what it will be tomorrow!
