I remember a few years ago, not so long ago but 3, 4 years ago, When we used to dream and talk about mass adoption, institute investments, big sharks, and companies coming for the take just to bring us the opportunity to benefit from the Bitcoin, I'm talking about us, the small ones, little ones, us the community behind the Bitcoin, believing in it and supporting it with whatever we've got. What we were dreaming is now the reality.
We used to dream about prices above $20k, but now look at the price, it's way more above $30k, of course, we have had our ups and downs, our peace and war, agreements and disagreements, but now we stand victor, years of disbelief, understatement, hate speeches, haters, etc.
Basically people talk about something when its enough potential and have bright future. I am agree with you that few years back people were talking about the legality of bitcoin and its real use. At the same moment some people took their best decision and now enjoying the result of their investment. Yeah its true that there was a time when we were talking about bitcoin expected price where some were expecting it will never touch 20k. Its quite common and we can't blame them for their negative thinking about bitcoin because when is a matter of investment you will have to keep both minds open for it but now bitcoin have already showed its worldwide popularity and demand.
I believe in upcoming days we will gonna see lot more things where bitcoin price can get lower or much higher but people's negativity and fear about bitcoin will be decreased for sure.
Holders of yesterday now are the winners, this is the fruit of their patience now, do not stop believing in Bitcoin, fight as you have fought before, go on and keep going, if you feel it's time to get out, then cash out and go home, if you still believe in the system, then keep holding and wait for the big turn ahead, because the ride has just started, and there is a long road ahead of us.
Holders are always winners but you jut have to know when to hold and when its time to sell. In most cases traders are making much profit than holders by continuing their trades and they are continuously increasing the amount of bitcoin on their wallet. Although i suggest people not to start trading without gathering proper knowledge about this field but in recent time a big number of bitcoin holders are choosing trading as their source of regular income.
