Ok obviously, the boy was right about #Bitcoin's description (and wrong about whether or not Bitcoin was going to be shut down by the government) but I love how these types of videos always make the reader want to time travel... (see screenshot)
If that's you, PLEASE STOP! ποΈπ
Back. tf. Up.
The boy said it himself.
The only way to get a hold of some bitcoin in 2013 using fiat (besides P2P or mining) was to trade it on MtGox.com which most people clearly lost millions on, because the French guy managing the Japanese based company ...well, was completely insolvemt and lost the sats in the backend and rug pulled everyone.
There was no "NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COIN" mantra, no Hardware Wallet, no Multisig, no LN, no nothing. In other words, don't wish you were there because you would have guaranteed lost all your coins because we were all desperate for paper currency like we're all STILL today.
Maybe some of us are even (admittedly) poorer now than we were then which is sad, if you account for inflation.
HELLO SOMEBODY π
It's WAY SAFER NOW to buy Bitcoin anywhere anytime than it ever was, even in remote countries with bad electricity.
And of course, we'll have another look in 10 years about another video from "back" in 2025 when everyone freaked out about the price going down from 100k to 80k thinking it was the end of Bitcoin and selling everything because they thought it was a BAD investment.
Thinking fiat was a safer bet.
When #Bitcoin is getting INFINITELY BETTER BY. π THE. π DAY!π
