In terms of the 21 million bitcoin limit, you own one ten-millionth of all bitcoins that will ever exist. That's a massive proportion for one person. If bitcoin catches on and becomes as mainstream as gold, owning that amount will do you well. Owning 2 BTC could be like owning 17kg or 37lb of gold, which is about $700,000. If bitcoin does well long-term, that could be you.

I don't know much, I'm sure my math is way off, but as a hypothetical, if as many people take bitcoin as seriously as they take gold, then 2BTC would be sizable for your average guy. You won't be rich, but you'd get a really nice bit of cash from that.

i dont have blockfolio but i have
7.5k LINK (going for 10k)

and like 3k cash in tether waiting for btc to dip after riding some pumps like LTO and KNC thinking of where to dump it into or maybe just load it to try hold 1 btc whenever it hopefully dumps near to 3,2k, if not im just going to keep dumping savings into binance and throw it into other coins

LOL

This was exactly me in 2009, the difference is that I knew about BTC and I EVEN TRADED STOCKS.

I do not regret anything. I could back in time with the same mentality in 2009 and still would not buy BTC. I remember thinking if I should buy BTC and I honestly thought it was a scam like many penny stocks, TOO RISKY.

YOU JUST DON'T KNOW.

If you knew about BTC in 2009 and didn't at least put $10 or even $100 bucks in you're just stupid beyond belief. First - it didn't seem untrustworthy at all. Second - even if it was, you'd buy it just for the CHANCE that it might catch on. If you're trading stocks, $100 should be nothing. It absolutely didn't seem like a russian scam coin, and it was a completely new concept you couldn't really compare with anything before. If you didn't just say 'fuck it, this will either get me rich or I'll be a few bucks poorer, but at least I'll have tried' you're just dumb.
