Can one Bitcoin really change the lives of ordinary people?
"Is it still worth entering the market now?" "One Bitcoin costs over a hundred thousand; how can ordinary people afford it?" But behind these questions lies the desire of countless people to "change their destiny." Today, we won't discuss the technology, but rather the reality: can one Bitcoin truly become a turning point in the lives of ordinary people?
First, let's look at ten years of real data: At the beginning of 2015, Bitcoin was about $200, it broke $7,000 at the beginning of 2020, and by the end of 2024, it is expected to reach $100,000, oscillating between $95,000 and $105,000 in mid-2025. This means that Bitcoin purchased for 1,500 yuan in 2015 is now worth over 750,000 yuan, with a return rate of over 500 times.
What does this mean for ordinary people? It represents a rapid accumulation of 5-10 years' worth of salary, a stepping stone to freedom with housing and vehicles, and an opportunity asset that is "globally circulating and low-threshold" — no need for connections, no policy restrictions, just a wallet, some funds, and a bit of patience.
In reality, there are quite a few such examples: A programmer bought 3 BTC for 30,000 yuan in 2017 and cashed out 900,000 to buy a house and start a business in 2021; a convenience store owner invested 1,000 yuan monthly in 2019, held 1.2 BTC by 2024, with assets exceeding 800,000 yuan; a post-95 student bought 0.5 BTC with a scholarship, which had appreciated 15 times by 2025. They are not big players, they don’t understand candlestick charts, they just "believed and acted" a bit earlier.
Is it still too late? The answer is: it’s not too late, but you must choose the right direction. Don’t dream of getting rich quickly, but you can plan for growth; don’t put all your money in at once, but consider small, regular investments. Today's Bitcoin, though expensive, is still a rare entry point for ordinary people to participate in global asset games.
Remember: It’s not Bitcoin that changes who can succeed, but ordinary people who see opportunity and dare to take the first step that use it to change their fortunes.
