I still remember the year 2015, during my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in the east part of the country. One of my fellow corps members caught up in the craze of the Ponzi scheme era, sold all his Bitcoin just to invest in one of those schemes. I recall him even offering to sell me some of his Bitcoin in exchange for cash but I refused.
Looking back now the past is truly behind us. We should have invested in Bitcoin instead of falling for Ponzi schemes. The value we overlooked then has now become a lesson for the future.

It happens everyday and keeps happening. People naturally believe what they feel they are seeing result immediately than something that's futuristic. Everyone has his own story, bitcoin opportunity was definitely missed by many. But here's the deal, how do you now see the bitcoin investment? Do you still dwell in the past thinking that it's now costly to acquire or have you learned your lesson? Sometime in 2019 I had a conversation with a friend about bitcoin and he marked it red stressing how it would crash unannounced. But here we are, humans get wiser and learning not to dwell in the past is the best anyone can do.

Bitcoin closing price in 2015 was $377 which at the naira equivalent of about 76k or less at Dollar rate #179-204.  Fast forward to 2025 when bitcoin is $114k at Dollar to Naira #1530, that was definitely a life changing opportunity. Learning that it's not late again this time would be a nice thing, but the much you can and hold. It's not like it has stopped rising, a day will come when this current price will be a sort after price.
