Today is August 13, 2025. Bitcoin has reached 120,000 USD, Ethereum has returned to its previous high, and all altcoins have risen collectively. This time last year, Bitcoin was still around 58,000. A year has passed, and it has doubled. This increase indicates that capital has voted with its feet; various factors have influenced Bitcoin reaching this position, and in any case, this thing is gradually entering the public eye.
Policies regarding Bitcoin are increasingly favorable, and the market is generally optimistic. Especially in the U.S. market, Wall Street institutions are buying BlackRock and then buying more; this is a reshuffle. Everyone wants to have a place in the market over the next ten or even twenty years, so they are all purchasing, which has driven up the price. In fact, this is mainly due to the unlimited issuance of currency by some major governments in real life, leading to global inflation. Some small countries, like El Salvador, have seen their national currencies depreciate significantly against the dollar, forcing ordinary people to buy Bitcoin to combat high inflation. In 2021, the El Salvador government decided to buy Bitcoin, and at that time, Bitcoin reached a historical high of 69,000 USD. When everyone was mocking that government, four years later, they have made a profit and outpaced inflation. The results validate that this policy was successful.
Awareness determines a person's and a country's future development direction. The first group of people holding ten thousand bitcoins can now live in any country on Earth. With the rising price of Bitcoin and the inflation of various currencies, those who own one thousand, one hundred, ten, or even one bitcoin can also achieve financial freedom.
At this stage, those who own 45 bitcoins can achieve financial freedom.
We live in an era of rapid information dissemination. However, the flow of information can be controlled from the source. What we sometimes see is not necessarily true; in this era, seeing does not always mean believing. Verification through time and history is necessary. I believe the price of Bitcoin is the best verification! Even now, when we promote this thing, it is often regarded as fraud, pyramid schemes, or something similar. On this land, at least 90% of people have no concept of Bitcoin, and about 80% view it with fear and avoid it. Regardless of whether you believe in Bitcoin or not, it is still there. The wheels of history roll forward, and ordinary people can only be forced to accept it; either adapt to the times or be discarded by them.
History tells us that the initial accumulation of capital has always been obtained through very despicable, shameless, and painful means. The speed of societal development is very fast, especially in today's society. We must continuously learn and develop alongside societal progress, or we will be eliminated by society. However, there are unchanging elements in societal development; human nature does not change. Human nature is driven by greed and fear, and only by balancing these two aspects can one seize opportunities and rise to power.
History will eventually reward the pioneers of awareness, but true civilizational progress is not measured by how many wealthy individuals are created, but by whether the most vulnerable groups can avoid falling behind in the technological revolution. Are we pursuing freedom, or another form of servitude defined by capital?
