Bitcoin – The journey from "virtual" to global asset
#Crypto #Bitcoin #$BTC
Bitcoin was once considered "virtual currency", a bubble. But after more than a decade, it is gradually becoming the digital gold in the eyes of global investors.
Below are my personal thoughts on BTC:
1. Core value: No more printing – no control
Bitcoin has a total supply of only 21 million coins, which cannot be printed like fiat money. That’s why more and more people see it as a store of value to combat inflation, especially after the post-COVID money printing episodes.
2. High volatility – but worth the patience
BTC has dropped 80% multiple times, but it always bounces back stronger. Those who hold long-term are often the winners. For me, BTC is an investment for 3–5 years, not for daily trading.
3. Recognized by major institutions
The launch of Bitcoin ETFs by funds like BlackRock and Fidelity is evidence of BTC’s maturation. It is no longer just a “tech nerd's game” but is gradually becoming an institutional asset.
4. A new trust for the younger generation
No one controls Bitcoin. This brings new trust to the youth, who no longer want to rely on banks or governments to control their money.
Conclusion:
BTC is not a “shortcut to wealth”, but a significant consideration in a long-term investment portfolio – as long as you understand the risks, control your greed, and believe in a decentralized future.
