This tweet aged like raw fish in August.
In 2011, $BTC at $2.70 looked like a joke. In hindsight, it was the opportunity of a lifetime.
Look at that date: October 25, 2011. Bitcoin at $2.70, and the feeling of relief — “so glad I didn’t buy”. I don’t judge. Back then, $BTC looked fragile, weird, almost irresponsible. No institutions, no ETFs, no clean narratives. Just nerds, forums, and uncertainty.
What hits me isn’t the price. It’s the psychology. The human need to feel right in the moment, even if it means missing something extraordinary later. This tweet is a time capsule of fear disguised as confidence.
Every cycle has its version of this. Different prices, same emotions. Today people hesitate at five figures the same way others hesitated at single digits. History doesn’t repeat, but it definitely rhymes — loudly.
When you zoom out, Bitcoin doesn’t punish ignorance. It punishes short-term thinking. And it rewards patience in ways that feel unfair… until you understand the game.
Moral of the story? Markets don’t care about your relief. Only about time. Dur, mais juste. ⏳🧡
