Anyone here old enough to remember what happened when banks first started offering their clients Apple Stock?
If not, here's a quick recap: The media told everyone that Apple was not a good stock to buy or hold and that everyone who owns it should sell it before it crashes and dies during its early days, all while at the same time Banks were adding it to their asset catalog, blocked a majority of their clients from being able to buy it, and allowed only their most wealthy clients to add it to their portfolios.
Sound familiar? It was some hell of what felt like an endless stream of FUD that they spread on Apple, which as you may know is only the most valuable company in the world today.
They scared my poor immigrant dad who came to this country with nothing and started investing early in his youth, out of his Apple stock in 1997 for a small $40k profit with their endless stream of FUD news lies. That news stopped him from ever investing back into the market.
And that stock he was scared into selling would be worth millions today. I can only imagine how many other people they scared out of that stock and others like it, who could have greatly improved their lives and the lives of their families with those internet tech stock assets.
Because of that experience, I'm never letting them scare me out of selling my Bitcoin. HODL'r and diligent DCA'r for over a decade now, and I will HODL and DCA until my kids can inherit my fortune and become HODL'rs and DCA'rs themselves
