More than a decade looking at the same block
Vacations have something special about them. They pull you out of your routine, invite you to look back, and help you organize what, in day-to-day life, gets buried under charts, candles, and price notifications.
More than ten years ago, I peeked into the crypto world. Before the trends that dominate it today existed, there were already markets promising the sky and delivering, at best, a short flight. I went through Bitfinex, Mr. X, chains, and projects that I barely remember today. I arrived at Binance eight years ago, and here I am still.
Always keeping an eye on Bitcoin, but with my ear tuned to those voices talking about new revolutionary projects. Many made me stray, searching for that extra profitability that, they told us, would surpass Bitcoin. Ten years later, the only constant remains the same initial block: Bitcoin.
In between, dozens of ICOs promised to change everything. I invested time, money, and hope, but I gained nothing more than lessons. I entered seeking financial freedom and have yet to achieve it. What remains for me is the learning, the conviction to keep saving, working, and enjoying the time we have.
Today, the fever is artificial intelligence. Will this be the next AltSeason? Or will we see memes take charge again? I don't know. In so many years, I never guessed right. Perhaps this will be the year of the right guess… or perhaps not.
The only thing I know is that, whatever happens, I will keep looking at the same block, the same asset that has survived all trends: Bitcoin.
