Being a Bitcoiner requires patience...
Nerd By Northwest #108 – “The Herd is Always Late to the Game”
(Click on the image to see the full-size version)
This comic for me is an amusing reminder of how volatile the cryptocurrency space still is. I drew this comic in late June 2019 when Bitcoin's price quadrupled in just five months, soaring close to $14,000 and a lot of people getting excessively excited out about it. And not even 20 days later the price drops to just under $10,000 and you see some of the people who were so recently excited about it are now panicking and wanting to get out. So the comic that seemed so relevant a few weeks prior seems a little less so now. But the more amusing part of it is that I'll probably only have to wait a matter of weeks for it to become relevant again 😁.

I never got into buying Bitcoin and it never seems to feel like the right moment. I am happy enough with my Steem and have some confidence it will go up again. At one point mine was worth almost $100k! A lot less now, but I can live with that.

Opposite for me... I got started with Bitcoin and didn't get into Steem and other crypto until later. As for the "right moment", I know a little about that. I actually started getting interested in Bitcoin for YEARS before putting any money and time in it. I always meant to get more involved earlier, but my family and especially my BS office job drained all my energy and attention to where it was difficult to devote time to get started.
If one IS interested and just unsure about the right moment, you gotta just set an afternoon aside and do a small step like setting up a Coinbase account or something and just put enough in to earn $10 in free Bitcoin. Don't obsess on current price (though now isn't a bad time all things considered). If you don't plan to put more money into it than you'd be willing to lose while gambling for the day at Las Vegas or Monaco, then it's easy to justify taking that small step.

I've dabbled with faucets and other freebies to get some crypto, but never had the spare cash to invest. I'm not the bothered about getting rich really, but it's interesting technology. I have bought a little Steem, but earned most of what I have.

Sweet sweet bitcoin. This reminds me of the last bull run and suddenly everyone I knew who had previously taken the piss out of me for being into crypto were trying to get into it!! Lol

Exactly. It's not an easy existence being apart from or ahead of the herd with all the teasing and mocking and such. But at least it sometimes tends to be better for one's finances... 😉
