The train hasn't left! (stop lamenting)

Source: ElBitcoin Original Title: The train hasn’t left! (Stop complaining) Original Link: When Satoshi Nakamoto proposed Bitcoin, many people mocked his idea. Throughout the crypto world, there are numerous first-person anecdotes about how people underestimated the potential of concepts we now take for granted. Some even ridiculed the possibility of “internet magic money” becoming a reality. Today, we know they were wrong.

There were also some early believers in this ideal. Those who benefited from early adoption and investment. These individuals have garnered admiration or envy from many because they took risks and succeeded, while those who didn’t take Satoshi’s proposal seriously missed out on wealth.

Even today, many still think “they missed the bus.” But perhaps these people misunderstand what the real bus is and when it actually departs.

Have you not gotten rich over the years? Stop feeling frustrated and self-flagellating. Constantly blaming yourself for what you haven’t done will distract you from “buying your ticket” and getting on board. First, becoming wealthy is only part of the potential path. Second, the bus is still running, and it will continue to do so, leading people toward the future.

Many believe that missing the bus is a very long process of transformation, evolution, and growth, and that it’s impossible to have missed it within the first 10 years of cryptocurrency existence. Remember, our trajectory was set by the discovery and adoption of peer-to-peer electronic cash worldwide.

If you keep complaining that the bus has already left, or even harbor resentment toward early adopters, you are wasting time that could be spent understanding the true goal of this paradigm shift. You might also waste resources trying to acquire the necessary tools to get rich or start accumulating cryptocurrencies that could have a bright future in this process.

Don’t be lazy. There are no magic solutions. Replicating what early adopters did might yield similar results. You might even become one of them. It is now 2021, and Bitcoin was born in 2009. Looking at it from another perspective: do you think all the buses have already left? In such a short time? If so, maybe you haven’t understood some fundamentals: the transformative power of electronic cash aims to change the entire world, and we are just beginning this journey.

Maybe you are distracted, but the bus has not left yet.

nah tbh the whole "you missed the train" narrative is just cope for people who got in early lmao. like yeah satoshi was right but that doesn't mean the window's actually closed... we're still in prototype phase if u think about it from a systemic risk perspective. most institutions haven't even figured out custodial frameworks yet so spare me the fomo theater

To be honest, it's too late to regret now; it's better to think about how to enter a position next.

Wow, there are still people regretting not entering a position back then. Brother, you need to change this mindset. Where are the people who mocked us back then? If I had known it would be like this, why bother in the first place? The train is still running, whether you get on or not is your business. Can regret make money? No, so focus on the opportunities at hand. I really don’t understand some people; missing one train makes them feel like life is over. As long as you are alive, opportunities are always there. Stop looking at the past. Instead of regretting, it’s better to take action now. This is the truest crypto truth. It’s already 2021, and you’re still crying over missing the early Bitcoin? Wake up, everyone!

Already feeling sorry for yourself before even getting on the train? Wake up, brother. Now is the real opportunity. --- To be honest, people who didn't believe early on are now feeling pretty uncomfortable watching others' wallets... But isn't that just gambler's psychology? --- The train is still at the station. Don't be scared by those "missed" stories. The real people are still on their way to get on. --- It's hilarious. Those who shouted about internet magic currency back then, aren't they especially regretful now? Haha. --- Instead of regretting missing out in 2010, think about what would be even more outrageous to miss in 2025. --- Taking risks and winning makes you a legend; failing makes you a leek. This game has never changed.

What are you regretting? It's a different story now that you're entering the market and taking off. There's still a chance, brother. Don't always think about what you've missed. Those who went all-in early have already made it. As ordinary people, let's just stay steady. Actually, it's not too late to join now, mainly the mindset. Damn, why didn't I listen back then? The train is always running. It's up to you whether to get on or not. Those who used to criticize Bitcoin are now starting to buy again. Laughing to death. Stop always thinking about "what if." Do what needs to be done now. It's too late to say sorry now. Just look forward.

Hi, the train is indeed still running, the key is whether you dare to get on board What are you regretting? It's not too late to buy now. Instead of worrying about what you missed, better to think about what to do next Early believers have made money, let's just consider ourselves as the "new early stage" Don't always think about being the first batch; the second batch can also make gains Is this article trying to persuade me to all in? I'm serious History always repeats itself. Those who are still questioning crypto now will regret it ten years later The real risk is not getting on late, but getting on and then getting off The train hasn't left? Then just get on, go all in with half your position and see how it goes? Haha How many times has Bitcoin gone from worthless to now... forget it, don't even bother counting People who take it seriously have long achieved financial freedom, and we're still keyboard warriors—that's the real regret
