If tens of thousands of folks like yourself had mined and kept the coins, it wouldn’t be nearly as valuable as it is today.

It’s a deflationary asset, meaning the less it gets used the more valuable it is.

I don’t follow your logic here. How would more mining early on have impacted the Bitcoin price?

How do you make that out? There would still be the same amount of bitcoin in circulation.
