No offense, but I bet even if you had a chance to know about bitcoin in 2009 or 2012. You will never pay attention to it and even like many others, will consider it a scam not worth bothering with. It's not just you, we all have the same thought.
Be honest, we just feel regret because everything is so clear now and what bitcoin has achieved. But if we had the chance to go back in time and forget everything in the present. Again, we will also reject bitcoin.
Humans are inherently timid when things are unclear, but become very greedy when things are clear and certain.
Bitcoin, like a small flame in the midst of a storm, emerged in 2009 or 2012 as an idea too foreign to embrace. Humans, with their instinct to avoid the unknown, may have seen it as a mere fantasy, not a gem of the future. Now, as its success resonates, regret lingers, not for loss, but for our inherent skepticism of the unproven. If time could bring us back, perhaps that skepticism would still prevail, for humans tend to choose safety over risk. Bitcoin, with its boldness to challenge the established order, teaches us that true vision is born from those who dare to step into the fog of uncertainty. Greed only emerges when truth is clear, but true wisdom lies in seeing potential in the darkness, embracing the unknown with an open heart.
