The train hasn't left! (stop complaining)

Source: ElBitcoin Original Title: The train has not left! (stop lamenting) Original Link: When Satoshi Nakamoto proposed Bitcoin, many laughed at his idea. Throughout the crypto world, there are many first-person anecdotes about people underestimating the potential of the concept that we now take for granted. Some even mocked the possibility that the “magic internet money” would amount to anything. Today we know they were wrong.

There were also people who believed early in that ideal. People who were rewarded for adopting and investing early. These people evoke admiration or envy in many, as they took risks and won, while those who did not take Satoshi's proposal seriously did not gain any wealth.

Even today, many people still think in terms of “having missed the train.” But perhaps those people misinterpret what the real train is and when it actually departs.

Did you not get rich during all these years? Stop depressing yourself and self-flagellating. Constantly blaming yourself for what you didn't do distracts you from “buying the ticket” and getting on the train. First of all, getting rich is just a potential part of the journey. Secondly, the train keeps passing by, and it will keep passing, taking people into the future.

That train that many believe to have missed is a very long process of change, evolution, and growth that could not have been lost during the first 10 years of the existence of cryptocurrencies. Remember that the path it leads us on is the discovery and adoption of peer-to-peer electronic cash on a global scale.

If you keep complaining that the train has already left, and even harbor hatred against the early adopters, you are wasting the time you could be spending learning about the real purpose of this paradigm shift. Additionally, you could be using resources to acquire the necessary tools to enrich yourself or start accumulating cryptos that may have a bright future in this process.

Don't be lazy. There are no magic solutions. Replicate what the “early adopters” did and you will probably have similar results. You might even become one of them. We are in 2021 and Bitcoin was born in 2009. Look at it with perspective: do you think all the trains have already left? In such a short time? If so, maybe you haven't understood something fundamental: the transformative power of electronic cash aims to change the whole world, and we are only at the beginning of this journey.

Maybe you are distracted, but the train has not left.
