Last night, I was scrolling through social media and saw a guy complaining: staying up late every night watching the charts just to catch a bit of swing profit, and now his dark circles are almost as bad as a panda’s. I replied right away: Bro, this path isn’t right.

I’ve been in this game for nearly fifteen years. I still remember when I first heard someone traded ten thousand bitcoins for two pizzas—I thought that guy was out of his mind. Last year, when the ETF was officially approved and listed, it finally hit me—this chess game is truly alive now. The wild moves and tragic losses I’ve seen over the years could fill a memoir.

Today, I want to talk real with those new to the game: If you’re holding 0.1 bitcoin and just leave it untouched until 2048, is it possible to achieve financial freedom?

Let’s get straight to the point: This isn’t a pipe dream, but a hard truth I’ve learned from countless lessons.

Here’s what most people don’t get—it’s genuinely scarce, a real hard constraint. It’s not something you can just copy with a whitepaper. A lot of the coins mined by Satoshi in the early days have been lost forever due to hard drive failures. Over the years, people losing their keys or sending coins to the wrong address—it happens all the time. The amount that can actually circulate on the market? It’s only getting tighter.

It’s like antique calligraphy and paintings—there’s only so much in existence, and the older they get, the more valuable they become. Anything that can be easily inflated or have its supply increased doesn’t even deserve to be compared.

Now, let’s talk about the mistake newbies love to make—staring at the K-line, obsessing over every little rise and fall, while completely missing the big trend. Honestly, this thing has only been around for a little over a decade. Compared to gold’s thousands of years of history, it’s still an infant. But precisely because it’s young, the space for imagination is much bigger.

Short-term volatility? That’s all just noise. What truly changes your fate is always the power of compounding over time and having a strategic vision.
