Ever wondered why you are not one of those guys who hold thousands of BTC/ETH?
Let me tell you this. I am pretty sure that that you've read or heard so many stories about people who are holding thousands of BTC...or bags full of ETH. Some of those stories are nothing but shit. Many of those tho are 100% true.
Some of those "lucky" guys are among us. You may not know their background nor they will come front and say "Hey I am one of those guys" but I assure you that they are here. Trust me on that.
Now tell me this: How many times you wished you were in their shoes? Plenty of times right? You've even imagined what your life would be like if you were "lucky' enough...just like they were. Really?
No...No...No...
The real question is were they really lucky or was it something else?
You see, I've been there...I have those weird discussions with myself (why with myself? because whenever someone else in part of a conversation where the words BTC/ETH are mentioned, it usually ends up with me being on the receiving end of a strange look, as if I am a weirdo or something) from time to time and keep telling them about the things I'd do if I was holding thousands of ETH or BTC. If only I was more informed...
Informed? Bullshit...
It has nothing to do with being informed. Well, that's not entirely true. Being informed is a solid reason but not the main reason why these people hold bags full of BTC and ETH or any other coin that skyrocketed over the years. It's called wisdom. You heard me...wisdom.
The vast majority of those people are the ones who could see the future. They had a vision. The crazy ones...The ones who know exactly what decentralization stands for...men who had enough of their corrupted governments and tried to find an alternative. People who got tired of being slaughtered by their government forced to pay huge taxes if they earned a penny more than what is allowed so that those who pull the strings along with their banker friends can get richer every single day.
Can you teach that to your 20 old cousin whose only concern is to smoke a joint at the park with their friends? Nah...you can't teach that...They'll probably realize that about a decade down the road. Why? Because that's how life works. You can't teach wisdom...
That's exactly the reason I am not holding tons of BTC or whatever coin and probably the same goes for you too...Because back in 2009 - 2010 when I could have bought tons of it....I just didn't care. My priorities were different. Parties...hot chicks...having a good time...Nothing else seemed important back then...
Did I have access to a computer back then? Of course I did. Did I care to dig deeper? Nope...
12 years later I am the one who's looking for alternatives, and probably you too, because I know pretty damn well how it feels like to be desperate for help from the government to get out of a situation that wasn't my fault in the first place, and their only help was a tombstone on top of my dreams.
Some were indeed lucky...friends of a friend of Satoshi or whoever was behind BTC in the first place..others were friends of Vitalik and got there first...so unless you were friends with the group of devs that designed BTC or Vitalik himself, the next time you start dreaming of Lambos and exotic islands better ask yourself:
"What were your priorities about a decade ago?" I am pretty sure you'll figure out why your bags aren't loaded...
Oh....don't forget to let me know about those priorities in the comment section below...
Have a good one people... Image Cheers!
