Back in the days, it's easier to mine and get bitcoins so people don't really care at all with what might happen in the future.

But until they see how volatile it was and reached ATHs, I think that has alarmed them and for the wise one. If they have been gambling with it, that has limited them to do so and saved their bitcoins.

Everyone who's got to spend it too early have their remorse. That's the same for us, for everyone who have used their 0.01, 0.001, 0.1 BTCs and even 1 and more with one dice.
