You are very lucky to have been in the game for so long, i have been in it for 2,5 to 3 years. I got in it just before the bull market started but i did not rush in it unfortunately so I did not make a lot of money out of it. I wish i would have started my research 6 months earlier.

Similar to your experience, I was also one of the discoverers of bitcoin in 2017, Priced at only 200 $.
I used bitcoin to earn extra income back then, So this is a waste of time for me, But in 2015 to 2016 I saw it gradually rise and there I started to become obsessed with bitcoin, I invest all the money I earn from working. And I invest it in Trading where my money loses, and loses confidence in altcoins and in bitcoin.
But a friend gave me advice in 2017 that provided a way to make a profit on crypto and own a business that is now on the rise.

I don't know where you get that information, but just in May 2017, the price was already $2k and it continued to rise up (up to the bubble). Is your decision investing in Bitcoin with your paycheck is wise? Absolutely not, and I hope you already learned your lesson. Don't make "greediness" as a trait, but keep it as a "perk".

I think there is a typo. Most likely, not 2017, but earlier.
I can say about myself that I have heard about Bitcoin for a long time, but then I didn't consider it something serious and was afraid to take any wrong step. And also didn't buy it in 2017 during a rapid growth, but began to buy bit by bit in 2018.
Yes even I am one of those who used to work for bitmixer signature campaign at one point of time when it was a long running signature campaign and used it as a side income before realizing the actual worth of bitcoin and regret selling it for few hundred dollars and I would consider this as a learning curve as some of us have utilized the growth of bitcoin wherein some have not.
I suppose we have to draw a distinction here. There are the people who got in early, who I think have good judgement - compared with me, who heard about bitcoin early but didn't understand why it was so good.
Then the further distinction is out of those that got in early, there are those who saw the potential and held the coin, and those who sold up for a comparitvely small profit.
There are differences of degree here, and whilst I admire those who got in early for their good judgement, I admire those who got in and held even more -as these are the people who saw the full potential of crypto at a very early stage.

Lucky are those who have insights of the current events. I have been in the industry for 5 year, and saw OP's description happen. I also told my friends about Bitcoin but most of them just laugh at me and others are nasty saying that Bitcoin is a scam. When 2017 hits, they all rushed to buy BTC because it was rising, and cashed out when BTC is crashing. sometimes, I do not understand people. they ignore it when there is an oppotunity and rushed when the train left. The moment they saw some negative movement, they easily got scared and sells. If only they learned about Bitcoin and its fundamentals, they (my friend) could had avoided selling their stash at a loss.
I know it doesn't really make a lot of sense, when presented with good opportunities most people will not take them despite being the right choice and that is because they want to play it safe, they didn't want to risk their money investing in something that was as new and as revolutionary like bitcoin and they only did it when it was an obvious success, but if it wasn't for people like that it will be impossible to obtain profits from the markets, remember not everyone can be a winner.

Hmm. So 0.1BTC minimum to hold? I only have 0.06shBTC. Okay because you sound like a wise man I will try to buy bitcoin again. Halving equals more scarce.
I have the same experience also in 2016 and 2017. Some of them laughed when bitcoin dropped big last 2018. Now they are thinking again that this might go back to $20,000. My belief is that bitcoin will slowly climb and break ATHs. These corrections are temporary. The future looks good

If the future looks so good (and bright), why is the sign yellow then?
Yellow is a warning color (with red reserved for immediate danger), so, if anything, it must be more like green. Regardless, if Bitcoin is to break its ATHs, it won't be a slow climb. If history teaches us anything, we went from measly 2k (seems more like outright pathetic now) to mind-boggling 20k in under half a year
Then we went vertical from a little over 3k to almost 14k (in less than 3 months). From this perspective, it is not a question of whether we will reach a new ATH (we will) or even how soon (sooner or later), but rather if we won't crash back after that. This is the question that we should concern ourselves with
Lot of people are making price predictions and many years ago I did as well.However, I stopped thinking in fiat and only thought about stacking stats. In the end we are part of a financial revolution much like Tesla in cars- uber in taxis.
I liked the comparison of cryptocurrencies with electromobiles. Both inventions are revolutionary in their fields. I think that despite the fact that Bitcoin has already grown in more than 20 thousand times when it was at its price maximum, this asset still has the potential to rise in price. Capitalization of $200 billion is very small on a global scale, besides, there will soon be halving, which should increase the value of Bitcoin in the eyes of investors. As a matter of fact, Bitcoin is only at less than 150 billion USD in market capitalization. There is so much growth in price to be expected in the next months and years. We will also take into note that the 150 billion USD for Bitcoin and around 75 billion for altcoins are reached even if there is only probably less than 1% of the world's population who are owning BTC. If that figure increases even 200%, there will already be a huge inflation of the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Halving equals less inflation.... it in no shape or form equals Bitcoin to be more scarce than it already. Scarcity in Bitcoin doesn't always play much of a role because during a bear market there are more sellers than buyers.When there are more sellers than buyers, it can take a while for the ratio between supply and demand settles to a point where the price stops going down and moves sideways for a while to later start appreciating again.
very fortunate if you still have the remaining bitcoin savings, at least be calm with the predictions that are circulating. indeed not everyone believe it because of the current conditions that are less convicing, but i'm sure their doubts will be proven in the next few years
You have a gret point of view, I'm in this "game" for 3 years, and I learnt a lot during these years and we have same opinions, the prediction of price is just a fun game, but we have to accumulate as much BTC as we can to be in a good position in the future, maybe BTC can crash, it's something we have to know, but we could look this price of 8k USD as a bargain if BTC reach 50k, or something more for example
You have been in this game for almost three years and still you are saying that we have to take this thing under observation that when will be bitcoin crashing. For all I know is that bitcoin is not going to crash or come to ground like a home of cards because bitcoin are famous enough in the world of marketing as well as other fields and one thing that is famous always has less chances to come to ground.

I have known bitcoin since 2013 and had stopped for almost two years without even looking at the price. I was really shocked how much the price grew. I knew when I forst read about bitcoin that it has a great long term potential, a revolutionary currency that can be used as an alternative medium of exchange. When I went back to crypto, I swear I won't hesitate anymore and will be part of it till it grows and gets massively adopted and accepted.
I first got into Bitcoin around the end of 2014, I think that was either November or December. The price was very low and I wasn't ready to invest because I was just using as a method of transactions for the work I was doing then.
After sometime I introduced it to my friend and he took out time to research about it, he invested and even started Bitcoin mining (the mining he no longer does now). And I was still just using it as a payment method, till he came back and told me that the price of Bitcoin is up to $1000! I was still skeptical about investing in it till the price got to $2,500, that's when I rushed in, can't remember exactly when, but I'm thinking around the middle of 2017.
I planned to hold it for long term, maybe five years after I compared from 2009 to 2017. But surprisingly that same year the price got to 19,000+ around December.
My friend advised me to leave it, but when it dropped to $15,000 I decided to sell them and use the money for another business which i do now. I later invested this year and I'm holding again till the price goes up. I don't rely much on Bitcoin, I always have plans for long term holding, but if there happens to be bull run, then I'm selling.

I have started around the same time, I didn't know it would get this big, I never realized it would get this big, and to be perfectly honest with you I never cared about it going big neither. I have always seen bitcoin as a currency, that is what people are missing out, I have seen it as something that I can get paid with and then pay with as well.
I have worked and earned bitcoins in the past 6 years and I have spent all of that back into crypto related stuff as well, I am making enough money as it is with crypto so I don't care if I would profit via some bitcoin going up profit trade type of situation, no I care that I work and get paid in crypto then spend that crypto into stuff that I can buy with crypto (sometimes I cash out for bills and such), that is the awesome part of bitcoin for me.

I use Bitcoin regularly to buy subscription packages from various porn e-commerce site. It's way cheaper than using my debit or credit card. It's really easy to do and I don't have to prepare a lot of paper works.
Since you mention porn, yes, privacy/pseudonymous (not anonymous) is one of the bitcoin features. However, it may only take a little piece of the whole transaction pie. It's better to push the utility for the mainstream.Speaking about porn: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/south-korean-national-and-hundreds-others-charged-worldwide-takedown-largest-darknet-child
