From 2014 almost up till the 2017 run-up, I offered to give one BTC to any one of my friends who bought one themselves and promised to hold it for 5 years, and not a single one of them took me up on my offer. I would stand up at the weekly open mic night and not do comedy but try and orange-pill others... not a single one listened.

I did, however, have not one but 2 of them call me last year and tell me that they were ready to buy, and how do I give them their free one?? I made that offer at roughly a 250.00 spot price and they had the nerve to ask me for 44,000 (currently 111k) it was at that point that I finally just realized we truly do get them cornz at the price we deserve
The best part is now they blame me for not trying hard enough to get them onboarded.

It’s actually quite natural. People always want to hear stories of success but very few are ready to listen to storie of struggle or failure. I have been with bitcoin for almost 11 years right now. Over this time I have learned countless lessons made mistakes but also taken the right decisions.

My journey started back in college. I had a teacher who owned around 5 bitcoins. He used to tell me If you want to build a good future for yourself, try to buy some bitcoin and hold it. One day this will change your life. His words left a deep mark on me.As a student I did not have much enough money. I take some money from my father, added a little from my own small savings, and managed to buy a bit of Bitcoin. Honestly, I did not understand much at the time. I was simply relying on my teacher belief and his advice.There were many moments along the way when i thought maybe, i should just sell it’s already profitable. But every time, my teacher would stop me. He would say to me be patient. The real time has not come yet. Looking back now i realize that without his words, I probably would have made the wrong move and sold too early.As time passed, that small investment completely changed my life. It was not just about making money. I also learned patience, conviction, and the true mindset of holding. I still have those bitcoins today, and they’re now worth around $57k. Now I stand at another new chapter of life I am planning to get married soon. Many people advise me, sell some now and cover the wedding expenses. Yet another part of me feels this is my greatest asset, should i really let it go so easily?

To be honest, i am still torn. On one side is the responsibility of starting a new life. On the other side is my teacher lesson patience, and the belief that the real rewards of bitcoin are still ahead. What sall i do now?
