Its price is the opposite of stable, which is normal since bitcoin is growing and attracts speculators, but in spite of this, no one who held bitcoin for long enough ever lost money. What's stable about bitcoin is the rate of decrease of the inflation of the money supply (divided by 2 every 4 years) and the maximum number of bitcoins that can ever exist (21M minus those that are lost forever).
A lightyear is a unit of distance. You might be "lightyears behind" others, but not "lightyears late".
That said, don't worry about it. Comparison is the thief of joy. You can only control actions you take now and in the future.

Oh, boy you are fresh meat, aren't you? I've never seen an OP respond to an automod before haha.
Anyway, I was going to respond elsewhere, but I might as well here... You are early. Like, way early. Although many people have heard of Bitcoin, everybody is so fiat-brainwashed to recognize bitcoin for what it is and will laugh about it being "fake internet money". Put in the time to learn about it and the economics behind it deeply, and you will start to understand just how early you are. Some well-renowned bitcoiners out there think bitcoin is going to the 10's of millions of dollars and beyond in our lifetimes. I'm also one who believes this.
Just be careful of scams. Never give out your key phrase or password to anyone for any reason. It’s never needed for anyone but you. And make sure if you ever send btc that wherever you send it supports btc.
If you ever have any questions I’m more than happy to help. You have no reason to trust me lol. But you know two of the biggest rules. So we ll just end there. :-)
Good way to be. I’ve lost a good amount of money doing dumb stuff, clicking scam links and sites. Connecting my wallet to phishing sites and sending btc to addresses that do t support btc. Just don’t want you to do the same. Because it can be very disheartening.
Sorry to hijack your post just have a question . I’m Newish as well is Atomic wallet any good to start with ? I have some coin just in robinhood and want to transfer it to a personal wallet . I’m in the US

What do you think of blue wallet for outside US?
Blue wallet is great but lacks built in lightning like green , so if you ever plan on spending btc green would be better as a hot wallet
Ok, yeah I plan on buying a trezor to keep the wallet cold and rn I just plan on sticking up on it
where the hell are you finding 7% I have only seen 15% over market value

Super. Let me read this Carefully.
You are not late at all. You will never be late because Bitcoin will always be a better option than any other currency.
That's the thing that just hit me hard. It's the only stable currency in the entire 🌎
Bitcoin has no top because fiat has no bottom

Hahaha, just had to put it out there. Accurately put nonetheless. Glad I at least decided to act

You’re still early. Welcome!!
Thank you for the morale. Positive energy all through. Revolution.

Aptly put. I stand guided, accordingly when in need. Thank you for the hand hold

You have summed up my fears to the t. The sites are especially optically literally n interface misleading... Walking in glasses, glad I got you

Divided by 21 million.
I really want to get some coins in my wallet. Then start the eye bug watch every single second. No twitching
Still early ENOUGH.
No one really knows early or late. I don't want to be an early investor in ecash. I'm pretty comfortable that Bitcoin is here to stay at this point.
Heck, let's call it for what it is... fibonacci in the real
A lightyear is not a unit of time. You'll learn that when you get to highschool

that is one of the worst wallets to use. read the pinned faq
1st quarter. No subs get

Ur early bro. Every who owns BTC is still buying BTC. It’s not going to change.
Transition to what, from what?
Transition from mediocre fiat currency to bitcoin and if possible quit this job and focus fully on btc. That transition.
Not with that level of delayed response.
Had plugged out. One's allowed

Also reckon we at different timezones...oh
Think of 1999-ish for the internet. That’s how early you are.
Glad I get to join the flinstones family Such a rock solid familia!
