In 2016 when I was a kid, this coin got in stuck in my mind but absolutely everyone around me was telling me to forget it, it's scam, it's online shit, I shouldn't study it and should move on something else and finally ended up working hard absolutely every day for years to migrate in Canada to learn in university and pay high tution fees.
In 2016, are you a kid or a teenager?
I think a kid will never think about an investment, cryptos, or digital assets. But if you were a teenager, it can a bit make sense.
Anyway, where do you know about Bitcoin or crypto? Is it from your family members, friends, or your neighborhood? I'm surprised that a kid can know such thing like crypto or Bitcoin.
Finally, I finished the university and gained PR but the money that I have spent in all of these makes me cry every day. If it weren't my parents, I would invest in bitcoin in 2016-2017, I would be a millionaire today. I totally missed 2020's boom because of my situation but now is the time in my life where I stand on my feet, not strongly but I stand and manage to live and save some money.
You don't need to blame yourself or other people. It is very understandable if you couldn't invest in 2016, you are still a kid, right? Where you got the money to invest in? And you probably don't have enough knowledge about crypto/Bitcoin investment at that time. If you don't have enough knowledge and have strong mentality, you won't have a power to hold it for a long time.
As we all know, halving is coming. Should I invest my savings in Bitcoin? Or should I lean towards altcoins this time? Which one? I don't have health problems and don't have to worry about job security but it would make me sad to lose all the savings but life in Canada is getting expensive every fucking day.
It depends on you, dude. If you are optimistic about Bitcoin future, it is surely the right time to buy Bitcoin. It is true that we are heading the bullish season, it probably happens in 2024-2025. However, there is no guarantee about how far Bitcoin to raise. It is all about speculation although the price history showed that Bitcoin always created a new ATH every bullrun season.
