Well, every second you “miss out” on going all-in on the highest leverage possible and win. Afterwards you always know better so don’t be sad about it. Back then it was probably even more risky than it is now, so depending on your risk tolerance and investment goals it was probably right to miss it.
Just imagine you invested sum X back then. Who knows if you would still hold it. Maybe you would have made 10 into 100 $ and quit or shifted some into another crypto and lost it there, maybe you would have gambled with derivates which then did not perform as well. Picking single investments is basically gambling. I know this won’t make your leftovers taste better but try not to blame yourself for decisions that were 50/50 bets at best.
if it wasn’t so hard to buy or pay with it tho, that’d be great.
I think this makes it a funny thing about libertarian ideals. The way people interact with it is ultimately in centralized and KYC compliant exchanges. As far as I know its not illegal to not use them, but people do for simplicity. Microcosm of the idea that market winners entrench to promote their version at the detriment of the markets freedom.
Hot take: crypto is dumb.
That take is lukewarm at best.
Hotter take: you missed out on it 15 years ago. I know I did.

Well, thanks, I guess I’ll read that comment again when I eat my cold leftovers for supper tonight…

for investment, yes. but for autonomy, no. if it wasn’t so hard to buy or pay with it tho, that’d be great.
