Hehe this is a lengthy post! But I liked your sharing! Seems like my crypto journey has some similarities to you, except that my exposure was much later.
My first exposure during the 2017 bull run when we saw BTC went all the way to 20k. At that time it was difficult to buy/sell because there weren't many platforms around. I tried to sign up with Coinbase, hoping to "gamble" on some BTC, but gave up after all the KYC steps.
Fast forward, I purchased my first BTC and ETH in 2019 after reading from some blogs on how to do it, and there were also more platforms already. And fast forward, here I am, having survived the bear market and have gotten used to the volatility and learnt a lot more about cryptos, and building my Hive account day by day. :)

It is easily recognizable the crypto stories among people and most of us made the same mistakes at the beginning... Some learned, some not... But we did similar steps...
I know many people that came into crypto at those 17K BTC... 😃
Thanks for sharing your story!
It's funny that so many people said "see I told you it will crash" when BTC crashed all the way down from 20k to 5k or something... Now it's more than 100% return even if someone bought at the peak and held till now. Haha.
The thing is that most of them sold it when it was going back down... The same as I did in 2013 and sold with a loss :)
