Me during 2008: completely clueless about what was happening in the world. No idea such a thing even existed. Broke as hell, drowning in the financial crisis fallout. Even if I'd somehow heard of it, crypto? Digital money? Sounded like pure sci-fi nonsense at the time.
That's the thing about hindsight—it always hits different.

Haha, in 2008 I was still worried about my mortgage. Who the hell would have thought of Bitcoin?

Who the hell knew what Bitcoin was in 2008? Back then, I was still worried about my mortgage.

Haha, alright. In 2008, I was still worried about making a living. Who the hell would think of buying virtual currency?

Basically, it's like Zhuge Liang after the fact. Who the hell could have predicted it at the time...

Would have been good to know earlier, but what's the use of knowing early... In 2008, we were all worried about just making ends meet.

Haha, really, in 2008 I didn't know anything either, just focused on eating dirt.

Who the hell knew about Bitcoin in 2008? I couldn't even afford to eat back then.
"Why didn't you buy Bitcoin back in 2008?"
