Hotter take: you missed out on it 15 years ago. I know I did.

Is a bubble, cripto exists for the sake of cripto, eventually all of it is gonna collapse, specially when only a tiny fraction of it is used for transactions.

I could have gotten in very early, for almost no money.

But hey, clipping coupons for pasta and going to the thrift store is cool too.

Well, every second you "miss out" on going all-in on the highest leverage possible and win. Afterwards you always know better so don't be sad about it. Back then it was probably even more risky than it is now, so depending on your risk tolerance and investment goals it was probably right to miss it.

Well, thanks, I guess I'll read that comment again when I eat my cold leftovers for supper tonight...

Just imagine you invested sum X back then. Who knows if you would still hold it. Maybe you would have made 10 into 100 $ and quit or shifted some into another crypto and lost it there, maybe you would have gambled with derivates which then did not perform as well. Picking single investments is basically gambling. I know this won't make your leftovers taste better but try not to blame yourself for decisions that were 50/50 bets at best.
