This week it’s been 11 years since I first got introduced to Bitcoin

This week marks the 11th anniversary since I was first introduced to Bitcoin. It was a coworker who tried to convince me to invest in Bitcoin back then in March 2012 and suggested that I should invest around 5,000 NOK, which was equivalent to around 850 USD at the time.

Or 150+ BTC…

I laughed him off, and didn't see the potential in Bitcoin at the time. After all, back in 2012 Bitcoin was still in its infancy, and very few people had heard of it. It was hard to imagine that a digital currency could have any real-world value or use.

So yeah, could have been filthy rich.. that’s something that made me thoughtful on a Tuesday.. but still, it’s a story to tell the grandkids.. I guess ????‍♂️

And before you ask when I jumped the train and first invest in Bitcoin?: December 2017 ???? Yeah.. that also sucks..

But hey; I’m here now! And DCA has been a long time friend of mine ????

My coworker? Rich? I have no idea. I moved 5 months later.

Edit: Just have to clarify that I have no regrets about this today. I look upon it as a lesson learned and a great story. Actually it’s my go to story when I first introduce cryptocurrencies for friends. We are still early, and many today have the same thoughts and doubts as I had back in 2012.
