What changes have occurred in the lives of those who bought Bitcoin years ago? Today, let's talk about the ordinary people who invested in Bitcoin early on and how their finances, lives, careers, and mindsets have changed:
1. Financially: Debt-free, initial accumulation of wealth, financial freedom
In every era, there are different winds blowing; early Bitcoin investors have enjoyed huge dividends in the historical process, basically achieving debt clearance and stability in finances, completing the initial accumulation of wealth, and thus better enjoying the compound interest of capital. The financial ceiling is very high, as everyone showcases their unique abilities.
2. In life: Two types, the actively enjoying type or the increasingly frugal type
The actively enjoying type needs no explanation—they improve their lives and treat themselves and those around them well, which is very reasonable. The other type understands the opportunity cost of spending money more, thus becoming more restrained. My parents and husband have both sighed about how I’ve become increasingly frugal 😅 Although I still consume various things on a daily basis, I do think I spend more judiciously now. For example, I used to buy a bag just because I liked it; now when I buy a bag, I quickly calculate in my head that 80,000 for a Chanel equals 0.1 Bitcoin, with an opportunity cost of 800,000 or more 😂
3. Professionally: More relaxed, able to do what they can and okay with what they can't, and career transition
For those still working, it’s because they have earned enough to withstand unemployment, so there is a greater sense of relaxation in the workplace. When people have a backup plan, they no longer worry or fear. Moreover, there are more changes in career direction; they are no longer just ordinary office workers but have more career choices guided by passion, such as cryptocurrency entrepreneurs, independent investors, influencers, etc.
4. In mindset: Strengthened risk awareness, greater freedom and confidence. Successful individuals generally experience severe market fluctuations and multiple bull and bear market transitions, thus possessing the psychological resilience for long-term holding, making their mindset more stable. They are also more capable of protecting those around them, becoming more composed and confident than before. Due to a respect for the market, they continue to learn and strive to keep their awareness aligned with the development of the times.
