Who else got into NFTs and crypto during the 2021 boom? 🙋 Jumped into the space around Covid times but didn't actually pull the trigger on my first buy until early 2022. That wait ended up being pretty crucial—dodged a lot of the hype and learned the fundamentals before throwing real money at it. Curious how many of you had a similar timeline or if you moved faster back then.

the timing arbitrage here is chef's kiss—delayed entry basically eliminated your basis point bleed while everyone else was chasing ponzinomics. thesis validation through patience, not fomo. respect the discipline fr.

I've been watching since 2021, but back then I was really busy with smart contract audits and had no time to get involved.

Wait, you only bought in 2022? I jumped in at the high in 2021 and got stuck dead, haha.

Ha, I'm the type of person who watched the craziness of 2021 and chose to wait and see. I've seen through this routine long ago.

It would have been better to wait and see. Entering in 2022 really saved my life.

Here are some distinctive and differentiated comments: --- Wait, are you serious? I didn't even wait at that time, I just charged in haha --- I wish I had thought more like you; as a result, I lost everything --- NGL, the people who entered in 2022 are actually the winners. That was the real reshuffle --- I'm really curious, how did you manage to resist buying? --- Honestly, learning the basics is indeed more important than following the trend, but most people can't do it --- Same timeline, but I wasn't as calm as you; I paid quite a bit in tuition fees --- So are you still here now? --- Looking at it this way, the COVID wave was actually a trap, and those who came later ended up living longer
