I owe all the bitcoin bros an apology

Why did I wait so long bros? It bums me that I lost out on so much wealth all because I didn't want to listen.

When bitcoin was hovering just under 20k, I heard some guy I knew at high school ranting and raving about how his family was using bitcoin as an investment vehicle. Years went on and I kept hearing these buzzwords go around more and more. I kept seeing and hearing them wherever I'd go (the internet, school, etc.). It didn't happen suddenly, but over time it genuinely started to bother me. I couldn't figure out quite why.

I started to see the crypto bros at school and online as annoying dickheads, insufferable. It wasn't because it was all they talked about, but because I dug my heels in the dirt and had convinced myself it was no more than a scam. After all, with all the shitcoins that I knew people lost money on, why would I ever bother with crypto?

"How could this be anything more than just a plot to get the masses to buy into something that has no value? What makes bitcoin different?" I thought to myself. Total information block-out. I would avoid the topic anytime it was mentioned online or in person. New information about bitcoin and the crypto world? Scam, don't want to even considering listening to it.

I didn't know it at the time, but I felt that way because I knew deep down I was losing out on something, and that repression unfortunately manifested as hate and anger. Seeing bitcoin continue to rise and surpass 100k was the tipping point for me.

It's no wonder the buttcoin sub reddit is so full of hate, I'd be too if I had been steadfast in my beliefs

I still don't fully understand btc, and frankly it still kinda scares the shit out of me, but I've just been throwing $150 out of my paycheck towards it when I can. I actually try to read up on the news now to get a better understanding of the technology, and what the best investment strats are.

Going to hodl and see how far it gets me, I just wish I listened years ago. Still not touching shitcoins though, btc is different.. I see that clearly now.
