In 2018, in an Internet company, a post-95s person in the same department was obsessed with Bitcoin.
Others were not optimistic at the time, but he had his own theory:
"I just graduated two years ago, and I only have this 50,000 yuan. It's too far to buy a house, not enough to buy a car, not enough for food and drink, and it will depreciate if I put it in the bank.
At my age, I’m not in a hurry to save money, because now a monthly salary of six or seven thousand is enough to start a life.
In a few years, my monthly salary should be over ten thousand yuan, and the 50,000 yuan won't be a lot of money by then, so I might as well invest it.
The stock market and funds don't go up or down much, but you still have to spend time watching them. I don't even have time to play games every day.
Just buy all Bitcoin. I can’t tell the ups and downs of the stock market anyway, so I’m just guessing, so I might as well buy something bigger.”
That year, the price of Bitcoin seemed to be more than 4,000 US dollars. This guy bought less than 2 and then went to work every day.
By 2020, it had doubled. If his Bitcoin was sold, it would be worth about 100,000 RMB, but he didn't sell it.
I heard that the price has increased tenfold this year. The 50,000 RMB in 2018 has become 700,000 RMB, but they still haven’t sold it. They said that it is not enough to pay for the rent.
When asked what would happen if the price dropped, he said it didn’t matter, as he hadn’t bought any more since then, and as long as it was more than the 50,000 RMB he had back then, it would be fine.
I go to work every day, smoke the same cigarettes and wear the same clothes as before, and eat takeout for lunch that costs 15 yuan.
If I have to say it, it's that mentally I feel that work is meaningless. I work hard for a month and only make 10,000 yuan, while the salary over there fluctuates by tens of thousands.
In the meantime, I found a girlfriend, but I didn’t tell her that I had more than one bitcoin, probably because I was afraid that it would become worthless one day.
Maybe earning an extra 600,000 or 700,000 yuan in two years can't be considered real wealth.
But it should also illustrate the mentality of many young people, who know very well that this is windfall and the direction of their lives will not change much because of it.
