One night in 2016, Gouhe, an ordinary netizen who likes to browse Twitter, was bored and browsing a post. In the post, a person who called himself a "Bitcoin prophet" shouted: "Bitcoin will subvert global finance, and it will be more valuable than gold in the future!"

The comments under the post were all over the place, with some people mocking it as crazy talk, while others were eager to try it out. After reading the post, Gouhe scratched his head and said to himself, "This sounds like a fantasy, but what if it's really that awesome?"

Although he was not well off financially, Gouhe decided to give it a try. He made a simple plan: spend $30 every day to buy Bitcoin and stick to it for a long time, as a hope for the future.

"Just think of it as buying a dream. It won't affect your life anyway."

The firmness hidden in the ordinary

The next day, Gouhe registered an exchange account and officially started his investment journey. Every day after get off work, he would buy Bitcoin with a fixed amount of $30, regardless of whether the price went up or down, and he never changed the amount.

This habit of his has attracted the doubts of many friends. One friend joked: "How much can you buy with this little money? You might as well buy a few bottles of good wine!"

Gouhe smiled and shook his head: "A little bit of accumulation will add up to a lot. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to make money, so I'll just treat it as an experiment."

In 2017, the price of Bitcoin soared to nearly $20,000, and Gouhe's account increased more than ten times. He was surprised to find that in just two years, his investment had turned into a considerable fortune.

However, he did not get ecstatic and did not use the money, as he knew clearly that his goal was long-term investment rather than short-term speculation.

"Just leave it there after buying it, no matter whether it goes up or down." This became his investment motto.

Faith in the Collapse

However, in 2018, the market began to fall sharply, and the price of Bitcoin was cut in half, eventually falling below $3,000. Friends in the circle of friends who had praised Bitcoin began to "disappear" collectively, and the rest were all ridiculing Bitcoin.

"Guohe, you won't lose all your money, will you?"

"It's not too late to quit now. If you quit later, you will have nothing left!"

Despite these voices, Gouhe did not change his pace. He still took out $30 every day to buy a fixed amount of Bitcoin, as calmly as usual.

He knew that real opportunities often appear in the most pessimistic times. He also firmly believed in his choice and even bought more firmly than before at the bottom of 2018.

Turnaround moment

As time enters 2024, the price of Bitcoin soars again, breaking through the historical high. The value of the Bitcoin accumulated in the gully began to grow explosively, and the amount on the books climbed from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars.

When the account number showed seven digits, Gouhe felt dazed. He turned off the computer, stood up and walked to the balcony, looking at the stars in the night sky, and sighed in his heart: "All this is really accumulated by the power of time."

He posted a message:
“You can’t buy Bitcoin every day for eight years, but I did.”

This post ignited his Twitter like a spark, and everyone was shocked by his persistence and vision. One friend sighed: "If I had known earlier, I should have persisted!"

Understanding beyond wealth

Despite the surge in wealth, Gouhe's life has not changed much. He is still the ordinary person who likes to browse forums and drink coffee, but he has become more determined in his heart: "Don't follow the crowd, walk your own way, and you will always see different scenery."

Someone asked him, "How did you persevere? Didn't you ever doubt it?"

Gully smiled and replied:
"I have doubted before, but I believe in one thing: there are no miracles in the world that come for free, only the power of accumulation. 30 dollars a day, regardless of whether it goes up or down, is a little bit of trust in the future."

The inspiration behind the legend

The story of Gou Gua started as an ordinary investment experiment, but unexpectedly became a legend in the hearts of many people. He used his own experience to prove that the accumulation of wealth does not happen overnight, but comes from day-to-day actions and long-term patience.

This is not only his personal success, but also an encouragement to all long-termists:
“The seeds you plant every day may one day blossom into flowers you never expected.”
