I am now just working while hoarding madly, dreaming that one day I can break out of this cycle. --- Honestly, looking at the story of these 17 years, I feel quite emotional... Those early days really made a lot of money, but now I can only take it slow. --- Still persisting, don’t ask me why... I just feel this thing isn’t over yet. --- I really envy those guys who entered early; now they are financially free. Why am I still stuck in the same place? --- I've heard too many times that Bitcoin will change the world, but the question is, when will it change my wallet...

Honestly, for these 17 years, I haven't done anything except constantly regret selling too early.

I've been through it all. Surviving the 2018 wave was already considered a win. Now, looking at these kinds of issues, I can't even laugh. Most people have either already left or are still waiting for a way out.

been running nodes since 2015, and honestly? most people still don't understand what actually secured those early blocks. the infrastructure angle beats any lambo flex every single time.
