The news of Bitcoin reaching new highs is like a stone thrown into a lake, stirring different ripples among the crowd. Some lament the continuation of the wealth myth, while others feel a sense of powerlessness amidst the noise—ordinary people's opportunities to change their fate seem to be truly dwindling.
This feeling of powerlessness is not unfounded. Many people always feel that they are talented yet unrecognized, constantly waiting for an opportunity to pry open fate. Yet, they unknowingly fall into a paradox: those who complain about a lack of opportunities often have not even grasped what an opportunity truly is. Just like some shout 'I want to get rich,' but cannot articulate the path to wealth; others complain about 'no opportunities,' yet have never considered what an opportunity looks like.
Bitcoin was once seen as a 'gift of the times' for ordinary people, with a hundred-thousand-fold increase being a once-in-a-century miracle. However, looking back, very few truly seized it. Why? Because too many people expect that 'opportunity' is a risk-free path—without worries about regulation, without the shocks of short-term fluctuations, without any uncertainties, simply lying back to earn big money. But does such an opportunity really exist? Even if it does, why would it fall to ordinary people?
In the end, the essence of opportunity lies in the game of 'dare' and 'give up.' It requires you to bear the corresponding risks for the expected benefits, fighting for a probability in an immature arena. Just like the early internet, real estate, or today’s emerging fields, true leap opportunities are always hidden in uncertainty. The degree of risk you are willing to bear will determine the magnitude of the rewards you might match.
Some say that opportunities now are fewer than before. Perhaps that is true, but more importantly, people today are becoming increasingly afraid to take risks. In the past, people dove headfirst into the unknown and were willing to make mistakes; nowadays, people are accustomed to stability, fearing risks, fearing losses, fearing failures, and naturally drifting further away from the possibility of a leap. There is nothing wrong with pursuing stability; however, choosing stability means accepting mediocrity. There is nothing wrong with longing for a leap; nonetheless, choosing a leap means having to bear the risks. Everyone understands the principle of 'giving up to gain,' but when faced with the choice between 'giving up' and 'gaining,' most people will still hesitate.
The illusion of a comeback is within reach, yet greed, hesitation, or panic causes one to miss it time and again. Therefore, each price increase becomes a sharp blade to the heart—they clearly know how close they once were to the opportunity, yet they pushed it away themselves. In the days to come, repeated reflection and daydreaming become the norm: did I miss the only opportunity of my life? Some are even willing to trade ten years of life for a chance to start over.
But even if time really could flow backward, they might not be able to seize that opportunity. Lacking the courage to go all in, even the best opportunities will slip away amidst hesitation. Ignorance of missed chances may bring comfort, but the pain of consciously bearing the loss is the most excruciating torment.
Opportunities have never disappeared; they have merely changed their appearance. They are no longer pies falling from the sky but seeds hidden within risks. Whether you dare to sow the seeds and withstand the storms will determine if you can ultimately reap the fruits. Ordinary people's opportunities may be becoming more 'selective,' but for those who recognize the essence of opportunity and dare to fight and give up, the possibility of changing their fate is always present.
