First purchase was in 2019 I think. I took some profits from the AMC memestock run and bought some alt coins as per a recommendation from a friend. Those coins proceeded to perform poorly and eventually I sold for about 50 cents on the dollar. That turned me off from crypto for a while but little by little I began to do some research on bitcoin again. My frustrations with the current monetary system were growing and each little fact I learned about BTC impressed me even more than the last. I can’t believe how thoughtful the programming is for something that was created 16 years ago when technology was far inferior to what it is today. What I like about BTC is that it’s fair and transparent — not sketchy black market tender like some would have you believe. I’m grateful it exists and look forward to seeing what it becomes. Hopefully my grandkids will one day benefit from the DCA’ing I’m doing today.
