Nothing to regret or feel kinda stupid here, if bitcoin wasn't interested and didn't grow as explosively as it is today then you could say the OP was a bit stupid at the time. You should know that the explosion of bitcoin is unpredictable even if it is Satoshi.
I believe the early adopters also sold out their bitcoins shortly after the price of bitcoin went up 10x or 100x, very few people could hold them until today. There is still time to invest in bitcoin, it is still possible to become rich if you invest in bitcoin today and hold it for ten years or even twenty years from now.
Thank you for this, it shows that you have sense and fully understand both human psychology and the psychology behind Bitcoin itself.
I believe that the narrative of "only bad guys use bitcoin" has got to be propaganda of Bitcoin opponents who actively have something to lose (in most cases, obviously profit) from the mass adoption of Bitcoin.
Everyone has the right to their decisions and for someone to dislike Bitcoin means that they have their reservations, but not necessarily mean that they are the opponent. The reason for many to dislike it or have their reservations might be genuine which I will always respect despite now using Bitcoin myself.
the narrative about bitcoin is only used by bad people even today it is still rippling loudly around
I am sure you are misinterpreting people, how lame could it be to say that Bitcoin is being used only by the bad people? More good people use it of course. But we can't ignore the fact that Bitcoin is also being used by bad people because of its decentralization. Loopholes everywhere. I will always be factual.
I don't see any meaningful reason why some set of people who just hate bitcoin. The truth is that anyone that hates bitcoin lack knowledge.
First, hate is different from dislike, and many have reservations about Bitcoin that are genuine for real. Many do not lack knowledge as you ignorantly insinuated but can't just deal with a largely unregulated entity, you have to respect that. The present advancement and more regulations might soon make it more adapted.
Op while your story is so understanble
What is not understandable in this story? I guess you rushed the reading, so I challenge you to read it again.
