You are 100% correct.
“Got my attention” …not, became a maxi on that alone.
I then triangulated with another trusted friend, bought a small amount, learned, bought, learned, bought, learned…

Honestly, the best orange pill is just being rich.
Like most people, I ignored Bitcoin for a long time… then, someone I trust mentioned the then-current $ amount of his Bitcoin position and it got my attention.
He didn’t have to discuss inflation, difficulty adjustments or UTXOs… he only had to be rich.
This obviously only works in circles of extreme trust, which are quite uncommon.

On 100% of the gain.
$100 gain = $37 of tax
$100 gain * 50% = $50 taxable dollars * your income tax rate = amount of tax

Completely agree with everything Derek says, and would add one incremental point.
This is also a micro case study of the broader fiat system v. sound money.
The fiat system, for a very long time (in my opinion, probably a magnitude longer than most here think), will be able to “pay” you to participate in it. It will be up to each individual to determine (1) where their time and energy are best rewarded and (2) in which savings vehicle they then place their excess time and energy.
For Joe (and many others, almost everyone) it is still much more lucrative to mine in fiat and save in Bitcoin. Twitter is just one example of this.
Of course, this it will change over time.

We’ve all heard many times that there are fewer bitcoin than millionaires, thus making it impossible for every millionaire to be a wholecoiner.
Cool, but instead of stopping there, let’s do some simple millionaire math…
Estimates suggest global millionaires have a combined wealth of $208 trillion.
Thus…
1% allocation = $0.1M BTC
5% allocation = $0.5M BTC
10% allocation = $1M BTC
