"Thinking it’s 'too late' to get into #Bitcoin is an illusion of the ego." - @HODL You're not late, you're insecure. Bitcoin fixes this. New Mailbag Monday just dropped.

I'm hopeful you will eventually check your DMs here on Nostr.
I think it's more that people don't believe there will be that much upside in the future, that most of the gains are in BTC's history. Late compared to what they could have been. In percent, that's of course true, as zero to any price is infinite percent, but in purchasing power per bitcoin, bar a discovery that p=np or some similarly catastrophic event, most likely not.
You’re a bit late if you need to work five years to save enough for a single bitcoin, compared to having grabbed a few hundred for $0.75 It’s not an excuse not to buy some now but yeah, don’t kid yourself, you’re a bit late.
I thought I missed it for a several years till I heard 'one of those jacks' ( @Jack Spirko) say something about early adopters of bitcoin, and noted "and there's still time to be one'. He then went on to discuss what percentage of techies and what percentage of anarchists etc had bitcoin. A small segment, of small demographics. For the other old-heads like me, it's like bitcoin is at the "scrreeeeech screech... you've got mail!" segment of it's existence. So yea, in all likelihood you'll end up with less value in bitcoin than Jack or Jack or Jack, but it's still the BEST asset you can hold, and there's absolutely NO reason not to start now. Sure, you missed something... but you'll STOP missing as soon as you start converting your fiat to bitcoin.

Not just trying to dunk on you here, but there were people who were too late to gun powder.

I suppose that's a specious argument. most of the folks that missed the boat on gunpowder didn't do it by choice.

It's never late to preserve and grow your time value. Problem is still not that people don't understand bitcoin, they don't understand fiat. Once you understand the inevitability of fiat, bitcoin will immediately make sense. View quoted note →
So many people operate this way. Understanding that stacking is a marathon not sprint, is a really tough hurdle for people They expect to time bottoms and magically execute the perfect entry all at once, then get frustrated when it dips, then they sell at a loss and don’t come back until new ATHs again 😂😭 JUST FUCKING STACK A LITTLE BIT EVERY DAY OR WEEK OR PAYCHECK JFC GET OVER YOURSELF

It’s like saying “I am late to TIME”
