Short monologue (YouTube) that argues people regret not starting content creation—similar to regretting not buying Bitcoin—but those regrets reflect wishful hindsight, not belief. The speaker (Peter Vander Wall) urges listeners to start creating content now and be consistent over time to capture upside.

Content is like investing. I'm sure there's somebody around you who's said in the past, oh man, I just really wish I bought Bitcoin in 2005. And yet that same dude still hasn't bought any bitcoin. So really he doesn't believe in bitcoin. He just wishes he could have seen the future and made a gamble on it. And I think content is treated really similarly a lot of the time. A lot of people will go, oh man, I just wish I started a YouTube channel a few years ago or a podcast. And yet they're still not doing that today. So what they're saying isn't, oh man, I believe content has so much upside potential and I think it could really transform the way I live. What they're saying is, oh, I wish I could go back in time and make a gamble on something that I don't really believe in, but I've seen the results the past few years. Don't be this person. Start creating content now. Make a consistent effort over a long period of time and you will see tremendous upside down.
