If you had 10,000 BTC starting in January 2009, how many of you wouldn’t have sold your bags a long long time ago?

So you received 10,000 BTC for practically nothing when it first became available. Then in April 2011, the price spikes a little over 1-usd. How many of you don’t just tap out right then and there? Hang your hat on a whole semester’s worth of tuition paid for with this stuff.

Say some of you didn’t. And you watch the market pluumet and rebound. Then in May 2012, you see the price go up to 10-usd. 100k-usd stairing you in the face. And now you’re thinking forget about a semester of tuition, your whole 4-year degree is basically free and you get a new car. Wow.

But maybe you still held. And you watched the money you could’ve had go away and return a few more times. Some regret builds. But you held through that July spike up at 68.50-usd. Your eyes can’t believe it. How the heck do you not sell? Literally everyone is still calling this coin a joke. And then in October it goes up to 100-usd and holy shit! It just went to 1,000-usd in December.

The hold has been taxing to this point. You’ve had this stuff go up and down. You’ve had people laughing at the concept and you don’t even know if this stuff will stay legit.

The run up to 2017 sees 10k each BTC and if you held you’re just numb to it all now. You’re coasting.

The people that held through all of the ups and downs like that deserve every bit of what they earned. And if you can’t handle some 50% crashes whether triggered by a whale or fud or both, you would’ve never made it to begin with. They deserve what they own. Time to earn your stripes and not complain about maturing market’s dips and climbs.
