What if I had bought 10,000 yuan worth of Bitcoin ten years ago?
In 2010, a classmate excitedly told me, "Buy Bitcoin! It's 1 dollar each, write it down, and in ten years you'll be financially free!"
At that time, I had a budget of 100 yuan — enough to buy three World of Warcraft game cards. With the mindset of "spending big to heed advice," I spent three days searching on Baidu, but I still couldn’t figure out where to buy it.
The screen was filled with wallet software download links, yet I couldn't find a trading channel. In the end, I gritted my teeth and spent the full 100 yuan on a QQ membership.
Now, my QQ is VIP9, and occasionally looking at the level icon, I can't help but wonder: if I sold this account on a second-hand platform, could it be valued at "several million"?
Of course, I more often think: what if that 100 yuan had been converted into Bitcoin... At an average price of 3 dollars per coin in 2010, I could have bought 33 coins. If I had held onto them until 2023 (with a price of about 30,000 dollars each), the market value would exceed 990,000 dollars — equivalent to over 6 million yuan.
But then I laugh: back then, I hadn’t even heard of "blockchain," and even if I did buy it, I probably would have sold it all at 100 dollars in 2013, after all, "making 10 times is enough for a good meal."
In fact, how many "what ifs" are there? Every era has its own opportunities; some people seized the benefits of housing reform, some caught the wave of the internet, and some gambled in the ups and downs of the crypto world... The important thing is not "what was missed ten years ago," but whether one is willing to open up to new perspectives — after all, the next decade's opportunities might be quietly brewing while you scroll through QQ space.
