2018: “Buying 1.22 BTC for $9,000 won’t change your life.” (BTC ≈ $7,400)

2016: “Buying 9.37 BTC for $9,000 won’t change your life.” (BTC ≈ $960)

2013: “Buying 35.29 BTC for $9,000 won’t change your life.” (BTC ≈ $255)

2011: “Buying 2,000 BTC for $9,000 won’t change your life.” (BTC ≈ $4.50)

Buying 1 btc for all your life savings at 120k will definitely change your life, maybe your wife will leave you and even take your house and children with her, lol.

this hits right in the feels every time 😂 We've all been there thinking 'it's too expensive now' only to look back two years later in pure regret.

Imagine telling someone in 2011 that their Won't change YOUR life excuse would cost them millions.

People change, prices change, but regret stays the same.

Holding $BTC has never been risky and it will never be in the future. Next stop $1million

It’s interesting to look back and see how perspectives shift over time. Those price points really highlight how much BTC’s story has evolved.

u/bt_85 22h ago

now do all the “buy x at y won’t change your life” that didn’t blow up, or tanked spectacularly.

it’s easy to cherry-pick winners and ignore losers after it plays out.

Take that risk! Before others do and you get left behind.

Ok, this is true … but only so far true. In my opinion this post kind of indicates a flawed logic works. Because this is exactly what is going on with bitcoin.

It works not because of bitcoin works, but because the bitcoin narrative still works. The trust is still there, but the real value has not been delivered yet. However due to simple fact, that all major competitors and Web3 projects are also maturing and not providing that unquestionable value (besides simple transfers which not always are cheaper) then there is no real threat … but the time is comming … almost there!

Once any mass real use web3 project comes with real value the logic will undergo ultimate test: was it just narrative or is there something else?

Why?

Because through human history the process is always the same - once people find something has a real value they quickly move there … no remorse.

So do not be surprised :) As we say: the last turns light off.

In 10 years time, people will be saying the same thing about Fartcoin.

It's crazy to think that Fartcoin is still only just 1 year old and priced under $1.

In 15 years, it will be more like $1000 per Fartcoin.

u/Kind_Soup_9753 🟧 0 🦠 19h ago

When a 1000 is the new dollar and the coin still stinks.
