"Bitcoin is already at 70,000; is it too late to get on board?" This is the question I get asked the most. Today, I will tell you with data and logic: the real bull market has just begun. Now is not only not too late to hoard coins, but it is also the best time!
1. 800,000 people hold the secret to wealth; do you dare to be one of them?
Only 800,000 people globally hold at least 1 BTC.
Data shows that there are fewer than 800,000 addresses holding more than 1 BTC. Considering one person can have multiple addresses,the actual number of individuals owning more than 1 BTC is no more than 800,000.With the global population exceeding 8 billion, this means:Only 1 in 10,000 people can own a complete BTC.!Exchange users do not count as "true holders."
95% of retail investors keep their coins on exchanges, unaware thatnot mastering private keys means not owning Bitcoin.. These coins will eventually be lost due to panic selling, platform failures, or policy risks. True "hoarders" keep BTC in cold wallets, guarding it like their lifeline.
2. Why is it said that it is still early? Three hard-core logics.
1. Institutional entry has just begun.
BlackRock, Fidelity, and other asset management giants have just received approval for Bitcoin ETFs, and $500 billion of institutional funds are lining up to enter.
Public companies (like Tesla and MicroStrategy) are incorporating BTC into their balance sheets.
The global central bank digital currency (CBDC) development is accelerating, with Bitcoin becoming a "digital gold" reserve.
2. Supply and demand imbalance is about to explode.
After the halving in 2024, BTC's annual production will drop to about 9 million coins (current market cap ≈ $63 billion).
If U.S. pensions allocate 1% to BTC, they would need to consume three times the annual production.
When "sell orders" (miners selling) sharply decrease while "buy orders" (institutions + retail investors) surge, prices will surely break through the roof.
3. 99% of people are still in the "cognitive blind spot."
People are still discussing "Bitcoin is a scam," but they do not know that 15% of the top 100 richest people globally already hold BTC.
The Google search interest for "Bitcoin" is only 30% of the peak in the 2017 bull market.
When even the square dance aunties are discussing Bitcoin, that is the real "late stage," but it is clear that we are far from that stage now.
3. The self-cultivation of coin hoarders: How to avoid the tragedy of "the 480,000 guy"?
1. Never voluntarily get off.
In 2017, a person bought at the peak of 480,000, panic-sold in 2020, and now can only complain in forums.
Remember: every time you sell, you are betting that you can buy back at a lower price, but history shows that 99% of people cannot do it.
2. Master your private keys, stay away from exchanges.
Exchanges are "ticking time bombs": aren’t the lessons from Mt.Gox and FTX deep enough?
Recommend hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor), store over 95% of BTC in cold storage, leaving only 5% for trading.
3. Be wary of "risky operations" that can ruin a lifetime.
Leverage contracts: 90% of people eventually face liquidation.
Liquidity mining: impermanent loss + exit risk.
Lending and financial management: lessons from LUNA and Celsius.
My coin hoarding principles:
"When my monthly salary arrives, I buy BTC first, then spend; the remaining money is for living."
"Do not focus on short-term rises and falls; focus on whether BTC's proportion of total assets is increasing."
"Pass BTC to the next generation, just like passing on gold from ancestors."
4. If you hoard coins now, how wealthy will you be in 10 years?
Conservative estimate: If BTC becomes digital gold (market cap = half of gold), the price per coin is approximately $500,000.
Neutral prediction: If BTC replaces global reserve currencies (like the USD), the price per coin is approximately $1,000,000.
Radical imagination: If BTC becomes the universal currency of interstellar civilization... (fill in the blanks yourself)
Even if you only hoard 0.1 BTC, you could easily achieve your "small goal" in 10 years. The key is: can you hold onto it?
Final thoughts
Hoarding coins is not gambling, but cognitive realization. When you watch the price fluctuate on the K-line, remember:
In 2010, someone used 10,000 BTC to buy two pizzas.
In 2013, someone liquidated their position when BTC was at $1,000.
In 2017, someone shouted "the bull market is over" when BTC reached $20,000.
In 2023, someone said "it's too late" when BTC was at $70,000.
The real winners have held since 2010 and never got off. Are you ready to become the winner of the next decade?
💡 Action suggestion:
Immediately allocate BTC, making it 5%-10% of your total assets.
Learn to use hardware wallets and master your private keys.
Uninstall market apps, check once a year.
Remember:
In this field, patience is more important than intelligence; holding is more profitable than trading!
