The 2010 $BTC story everyone gets wrong:
Say you bought 1,000 $BTC back then. Sounds like you'd be set for life, right?
Nah. Here's what actually would've happened:
• You forgot your password (most likely)
• You panic-sold during one of the early crashes
• You day-traded it away trying to time the market
• You cashed out at $100, $1,000, maybe $10k — whatever number felt "life-changing" at the time
The real flex isn't buying early. It's holding through the chaos. And almost nobody does that.
The psychology of money is way harder than the tech.
