👇1-13) Some argue that ‘time in the market’ is more important than ‘timing the market.’ This has undoubtedly been the case if you have been early in the Bitcoin game. When assets mature, looking for catalysts becomes more important for new investors.

👇2-13) Consider this: By the end of 2012, nearly 50% of all Bitcoins had been mined, giving everybody a huge advantage early on. By the end of 2017, almost 80% had been mined, and this was when prices were still low. Now, 93.8% of Bitcoin has been mined.
