My wife just kind of "let's me go" since I don't use IRL money for any of this - it is all internet fake tokens.
But if bitcoin had failed, people might have regretted, wanting to go back and not to invest.
This is always the case. People are happy to invest into the sure thing of the past, but they still won't invest into the risk of today.
Maybe, missing the opportunities gives us perspective to which opportunities to take next time, and which ones to ignore. Missing opportunities might be a good thing
Yeah, I think it is. Often it is the lessons that hurt that bring us the most value in the future and missing opportunities is one of those. Also, a lot of the things we think hurts us now and we are upset about, tend to be "blessings in disguise" down the track.
