The Bitcoin journey is still ongoing: Why it's not too late to hop on the train

Source: ElBitcoin Original Title: The train hasn’t left! (Stop complaining) Original Link: When Satoshi Nakamoto proposed Bitcoin, many people laughed at his idea. Throughout the crypto world, there are many firsthand anecdotes about people underestimating the potential of the concept that we now take for granted. Some even mocked the possibility that the “magical internet money” would become something significant. Today, we know they were wrong.

There were also people who believed early on in that ideal. People who were rewarded for adopting and investing early. These people evoke admiration or envy in many, as they took risks and gained, while those who did not take Satoshi’s proposal seriously did not acquire any wealth.

Even today, many people still think in terms of “missing the train.” But perhaps those people misunderstand which train is the real one and when it actually departs.

Did you not become rich over all these years? Stop feeling depressed and stop self-flagellating. Constantly blaming yourself for what you didn’t do distracts you from “buying the ticket” and getting on the train. First of all, getting rich is only a potential part of the journey. Second, the train is still passing, and it will continue to pass, taking people toward the future.

That train many believe they have missed is a process of change, evolution, and growth that’s so long that missing it during the first 10 years of cryptocurrencies’ existence is understandable. Remember, the path it takes us on is through the discovery and adoption of peer-to-peer electronic cash on a global level.

If you keep complaining that the train has already left, and even cultivate hatred against early adopters, you are wasting the time you could be spending learning about the true goal of this paradigm shift. Additionally, you could use resources to acquire the tools necessary to enrich yourself or start accumulating cryptocurrencies that may have a bright future in this process.

Don’t be lazy. There are no magic solutions. Repeat what early adopters did, and you’ll probably see similar results. You might even become one of them. We are in 2021, and Bitcoin was born in 2009. Look at it with perspective: do you think all the trains have already departed? In such a short time? If so, perhaps you haven’t understood something fundamental: the transformative power of electronic cash aims to change the entire world, and we are only at the beginning of this journey.

Maybe you’re distracted, but the train hasn’t left.
