In the tumultuous world of virtual currencies, Bitcoin is undoubtedly the most legendary existence. After 15 years of ups and downs, only two epic surges truly stirred wealth waves. In 2013, Bitcoin awakened like a dormant beast, with its price skyrocketing from 10 dollars to 1000 dollars; in 2017, it staged another crazy performance, soaring from 300 dollars to a peak of 19000 dollars in just one year. What is astonishing is that both of these wealth feasts occurred precisely within a year after Bitcoin's halving, as if the script of fate had already been written.
. Rewind the clock back to the winter of 2017, when Bitcoin reached its peak of 19000 dollars, the real estate market was also in a heated state. At that time, people were keen to discuss the housing prices in major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, with property transactions often reaching several million or even tens of millions. However, now, with Bitcoin's price hovering just above 40000 dollars, its increase pales in comparison to housing prices during the same period. This seemingly 'underperforming' situation, however, hides secrets.
Bitcoin, this veteran who has been struggling in the crypto world for many years, still appears to the public as a mysterious 'new species.' Just like the internet began to emerge at the end of the 20th century, countless people regarded it as an absurd scam, mocking the so-called 'internet bubble.' It wasn't until life was completely reshaped by social software, e-commerce platforms, and online work that people realized they had long been deeply trapped in the digital world. At this point, those who dared to enter the internet wave early on had already reaped astonishing wealth through stocks of tech giants like Amazon and Apple — today, Apple's market value of 3 trillion dollars is the best proof.
Looking at Bitcoin again, its user base has yet to break the fifty million barrier. Compared to Apple, which boasts billions of users, this number seems insignificant. Yet, it is this less than fifty million users that have leveraged nearly one trillion dollars in market value. This data reveals not Bitcoin's 'saturation,' but its infinite potential. Imagine if the number of Bitcoin users achieves exponential growth in the future; the space for its market value could be measured in 'tenfold or hundredfold.'
The door to wealth in the crypto world is always open, and the timing of entry is never a problem. There is no need to worry about missing the best opportunity; what you need to do is to see the trend more clearly and step forward faster than those around you. After all, in this game of digital wealth, taking the first step may be the key to financial freedom.
