Funny how risking it all on Bitcoin back in 2008 seemed like pure madness, so instead you played it safe. Fast forward and here you are, alarm clock going off at 6am, heading to the office. The early adopters who threw caution to the wind? They're sleeping in. Nothing teaches you about opportunity cost quite like being stuck in the daily grind while watching what could've been unfold across every crypto chart.

Honestly, if I had gone all-in on BTC back then, I wouldn't have to wake up early for 996 now. Who understands this feeling and who feels bad?

If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in. Now I'm being tortured by alarms every day.

Oh well, that's just reality... If only I hadn't been so cowardly back then.

Really, if you didn't get in back then, just look at the charts now—how painful it must be.

I should have gone all in back in 2008, then I wouldn't have to wake up at 6 AM every day getting worked hard now.

honestly the opportunity cost math here is skewed tho... statistically speaking, 99% of coins that looked "promising" back then got absolutely rekt. the survivors got lucky, not prescient. given historical data on survivorship bias, you're conflating one outlier with universal regret—which is, theoretically speaking, bad reasoning
