I admire the early adopters and wish I've been one of them, unfortunately no "friend" told me about it and I only joined in 2013 when I've found about it alone, still not bad but could have been better.
I have to admit that it is strange for someone to talk about 2013 as something that was too late, in this case for cheap BTC - but considering that OP registered on the forum at the end of that year at a time when the price was around $1000, which was then a really big deal. That year was really fruitful, because at the beginning of the year the price of 1 BTC was only $22 and the jump to as much as $1000 was amazing.
Of course everyone would wish they had been able to buy 100 BTC for $100, but is anyone other than ourselves to blame for this not happening? Let's not be greedy, especially those who learned about BTC 5+ years ago, because anyone could easily accumulate at least 1-2 BTC to date, even if it was just a claim on faucets or participating in signature campaigns - let's consider ourselves lucky for this opportunity.
you shouldn't admire any adopters becasue you were early on the technology, 2013 was still very much early for those who went into the technology comparing to those who just made their first step into the technology. Even those who made it into the technology around the 2017 still very much early except when the price skyrocketed and crashed back again before some of us find their way in. I standing before you went into the industry somewhere around 2018 and have made something good for my future and that of my family, basically, there's always a chance for everybody even those yet to venture into this opportunity.
