2010 me: Could grab Bitcoin for pocket change but didn't. 2024 me: Staring at screenshots of what could've been. That's the thing about early crypto—everyone's got a version of this story. The coins we passed on, the wallets we forgot about, the transactions we thought weren't worth the effort back then. Bitcoin was trading for mere dollars per coin. Now? The math doesn't feel real anymore. It's not really about FOMO at this point—it's more like watching history unfold in real-time and realizing you were standing right there, able to change everything, but nobody believed it mattered yet.

I should have gone all in earlier. Now, looking at the screenshot feels just as painful as hearing others' stories.

ngl the real exploit here was our own hindsight bias... we all had the liquidity, just not the conviction. that's the counterparty risk nobody talks about—trusting your own future self to believe the math.

Really, who the hell would have believed it back then? Now it's too late to regret.

I should have known earlier. Who could have thought back then?

I should have gotten on earlier. Now looking at these screenshots feels like watching someone else's story.
