    Bitcoin showed up on my radar when they were worth pennies, but I was young and had no way to buy them and didn’t have a computer that could really mine them. Once I had the means to buy, I had no money. By the time I had a little extra money, they were already in the thousands.

    Same story with Tesla. They weren’t public when they popped up on my radar, and when they made their IPO I had no money to invest.

      I had the same experience with bitcoin. I had friends excitedly talking about it when it was around $1-$2 a coin and I dismissed it as a neat idea that would never fly. When BTC “crashed” at $10, I felt vindicated. Now I feel completely foolish :)

      Same, I just had no cash. I was very much involved in the discussions around it though.
