This video (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw29h7LhEuE) was posted 12 years ago, and the man in it was simply urging viewers to buy just $1 worth of Bitcoin, which by now would probably be worth at $118k. We really missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Just sharing this since it popped up on my Meta feed, maybe someone else finds it interesting too.
In 2013 (and earlier), people still had a poor understanding of the essence of Bitcoin. In addition, many people far from the IT industry were scared off by the technical aspects associated with storing Bitcoins. Not all humanities students could figure out a program like Bitcoin Core, while simple Bitcoin clients such as the Electrun wallet did not yet exist🤷
I personally know people who stored their Bitcoins on the MTgox cryptocurrency exchange and lost all their first cryptocurrency🧟
In general, as the old pirate John Silver (the hero of Robert Stevenson's novel "Treasure Island") said, the main thing is not to find the treasure, but to keep it! But saving (keeping) your Bitcoins for 12 years (since 2013), in my opinion, was a non-trivial task. Which many have not coped with in practice🦧
However, now, reading such articles, of course, I really want to go back in time and buy Bitcoins at a price of 1 US dollar. In my opinion, this is one of the most attractive investment opportunities in human history.💁
