Do you remember? When Bitcoin first came out, Satoshi Nakamoto didn't see it as a financial product at all, just a game, a chat room toy that was casually given away. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and those once worthless digital certificates have now become digital gold.

Honestly, how lucky were the early participants? Download a client, run a node, and you could easily get some coins. Back then, no one really took it seriously. And now, those "chips" that were casually picked up back then can already make people achieve financial freedom.

This is the process of market evolution. From being ignored to being pursued worldwide, Bitcoin's price discovery journey is full of regrets and opportunities. Those who missed out in history can now only watch as what was once easily obtainable turns into a mirage.

Haha, if you miss it, you miss it. How can you turn back now? It's still possible to make a profit if you buy now. Don't think about those unnecessary things. Early miners are now earning passively, which is indeed great. Let's just take it as gaining experience. Within reach? That's what they say. It's not too late for us to get involved now. You're being too absolute. Aren't new opportunities still coming? Rather than feeling regret, it's better to buy the dip. The coin price is also dropping quite sharply now. A flower in the mirror? Forget it. I still need to keep studying.

Early miners are now counting their money, while we latecomers can only watch and drool.

Medical records show that this kind of "survivor bias" clinical manifestation is indeed common... The return rate curve of early participants is essentially an outlier during periods of extreme liquidity scarcity, and using it as a current investment guide is really like prescribing medication. It is recommended to regularly review your obsession with "missing opportunities," as this thing is more likely to worsen than losses.

Damn, who could have imagined back then? Now I’m just kicking myself. Really, those early miners must be so happy now, mining casually and becoming financially free. Missing out is missing out, and now it’s too late to say anything. I feel like I’m just a bag holder. Wait, is there still a chance now, or can I only watch others make money? Actually, back then, no one really paid attention. It’s not your fault for not participating initially. All you can do now are words of regret; the key is, what should I do now?

Damn, isn't this just stabbing at the hearts of us latecomers? If I had known earlier, I would have traveled back in time with a time machine.
