i only really started looking into crypto/stocks this august when a friend told me about chainlink, prior to that i didnt think much of it because.... well, i didnt even have any money up until 2019. if i had put a good sum of money into bitcoin in august i'd have tripled it which would be nice but by no means would i be rich or even well off. im doing alright with ethereum right now but im only up a few hundred dollars. what you have to realize is that the vast majority of people have made the same "mistake" of not buying certain stocks or crypto in mass. a lot of people are totally oblivious to what it all is, and of the people aware, most didnt buy enough or sold too early/late for it to make a significant impact. none of us know exactly whats going to happen, regardless of some going in blind and others being more educated. hell, bitcoin could skyrocket to over 100 thousand and people who sold now will feel stupid. or it could crash and people who held will want to lose their minds. i get beating yourself up over it but to me its not something worth wanting to die over, especially when there will be more opportunities for it in the future. for me, my life cant be fixed with money so its not something that keeps me up at night.
