Public opinion says $50,000? Don't you think that the public opinion really doesn't matter when it comes to Bitcoin price? Remember, when Bitcoin first came out, the public all thought it was a scam. And now the public all think they can profit of it. The only time the public matters for bitcoin is when they all start using it. Holding isn't going to help it very much at all.
Yes i remember that sentience clearly on /. back then, and for that reason i didn't pay it any attention when i had some money i could have invested in it... Now i will lament for the rest of my life not doing so. No matter how much bitcoin climbs, its bound to climb less and less with time.
20k is just 10k twice. Same gain as going from 1 to 2, or 100 to 200...

It's okay. Many of us were the same and that's good actually. If we were to start paying attention to everything that people thought that was cool, we'd be losing money left and right. Bitcoin was something totally different for sure, and it took us a while to realize that but better late than never. No need to lament, just appreciate that you're still in it before 99% of the developed world. And good you realize also we need to double to get 20k.
