Years from now, when Bitcoin reaches $100,000, many people will inevitably wonder why they always miss life-changing opportunities like real estate, the internet, e-commerce, and Bitcoin?
E-commerce, real estate, the internet, and other sectors have all become red oceans. Here, we mainly talk about Bitcoin. $BTC
For now, a valuable question should be: If you entered the cryptocurrency world very early (between 2012-2016), could you ensure that you would get rich? (Why couldn't you seize these life-changing opportunities back then?)
1. During the bear market of 2014-2016 lasting over three years, about 80-90% of the people around you (referring to your social media and online cryptocurrency community) were cutting losses, claiming Bitcoin would eventually go to zero. In the face of continuous declines of tens of percentage points every month and dozens of percentage points every quarter, are you sure you can hold on? If you think you can, you might refer to the classical tragic figure in the cryptocurrency world, Brother 480,000 on Baidu Tieba. In 2014, he resolutely gambled all his family's savings of about 480,000 to buy 100 Bitcoins. Under the continuous downward fluctuations and the ridicule and scorn of many netizens, he felt extreme torment. Ultimately, in 2016, unable to bear the immense psychological pressure, he sold all his Bitcoins at a loss of 180,000 and left the market in shame. What if? If he had held on for more than a year until the end of 2017, he would have been a millionaire; if he had held until today, he would be worth nearly a billion. Do you think he couldn't do it? In fact, Brother 480,000 is much stronger than most ordinary people. Most people first heard about Bitcoin like him between 2012 and 2014. But how many truly took it seriously and studied it after hearing about it? How many were able to take action after studying it? How many made a strategic investment right from the start without buying any flashy altcoins? Of course, gains and losses come from the same source. The tragedy of Brother 480,000 was that he was too aggressive from the beginning and failed to learn gradually while playing. It’s easy to criticize and preach afterwards, but how many of us, who have never experienced a full cycle of bull and bear markets, can do better than he did on our first investment? Investing is a continuous process of trial and error and learning. After a complete bull and bear cycle, most normal people will grow after paying the tuition fees with real money. Rare are those like Jiushen who are inherently knowledgeable. $ETH
2. You endured the bear market from 2014 to 2016, and in the second half of 2017, when your assets inflated tenfold, you suddenly encountered the 9.4 incident, losing 50% of your profits in a day. Would you run? If you cautiously ran or withdrew your principal, and the exchanges moved to overseas bull markets and continued to surge after October, would you re-enter if you hadn’t sold? If you cautiously re-invested your principal, and it turned out to be very profitable after adding or using profits to invest in a bunch of new ICOs, and the bull market abruptly ended in early 2018, with many altcoins going to zero and many small exchanges going bankrupt, would you continue to play?
3. The little money you had left survived the bear market of 2018, and after bottoming out around $3,000, you bought in for a few tens of thousands, coming to 2019 where you not only broke even but also made a small profit of several hundred thousand. But those who entered the market with you have already become millionaires, and many people start playing contracts preparing for this round of pushing A9. Would you play? At that time, holding coins might have a chance to push A9, which might still be tolerable. Now that Bitcoin is 700,000 RMB each, few newcomers are not playing contracts. Playing contracts, encountering a 3.12 or 5.19 event, all contracts of 2x or more could be completely wiped out. How? After finally surviving all this, the bull market in the cryptocurrency world has really returned, and Bitcoin has directly surpassed $100,000. You look at the altcoins in your hand that have just returned to break even or made a small profit of three to five points. At this point, you hear people online starting to say that the bull market will end in 2-4 months? What will you do? Should you do some contracts during the pullback? Having gambled twice and made a significant profit compared to spot trading, it really is much faster. When the market reverses and the bear market arrives, another wave takes everything away.
So let's take a look at why ordinary people couldn't seize the life-changing opportunity of Bitcoin back then. In summary, investing in Bitcoin and getting rich requires at least:
①Strong cognitive ability (able to understand and believe in its vision);
②Strong execution ability (bridging the gap between talking and doing);
③Strong willpower (generally, you need to be relatively wealthy by the second round of a bull market); $SOL
④Comprehension (To escape the peak in a bull market, one needs to have the wisdom to let go).
Isn't it normal for a person with strong cognitive ability, execution ability, willpower, and comprehension to make money playing Bitcoin? What can't he earn from? On the contrary, if you lack these abilities, you may not make money trading cryptocurrencies, and you will still miss similar opportunities in the future. Even in your career, entrepreneurship, and business, you will perform mediocrely. So ordinary people find it difficult to change their destiny and seize opportunities. Accepting your ordinariness calmly, at least you won't be easily exploited. If you can't let go, think of Brother 480,000 above, think of that American programmer who bought a pizza for 10,000 Bitcoins in 2010 (wasn't 2010 early enough? Wasn't 10,000 Bitcoins a lot?), think of those early adopters who mined dozens or hundreds of Bitcoins with their computers and eventually lost their computers or hard drives.
Are there still investment opportunities? Are there still opportunities in the cryptocurrency world?
The best time to plant a Bitcoin orange tree (BTC) was ten years ago, and the second best time is whenever you have made up your mind and are ready to take action. A 4-year cycle where Bitcoin and mainstream value coins can indeed multiply 5-10 times in the spot market; during a bear market, build positions in batches, and sell heavily when the bull market reaches expectations. Don't meddle in between; invest spare money that doesn't affect your life, and focus on strengthening your ability to make money outside the market instead of constantly watching coin prices. If you can do this, you might really be able to make money in the cryptocurrency world.
The door to the investment market is always open, and opportunities within it are always present. Money can never be fully earned, but our principal can be lost completely. As long as you're truly determined, it's never too late to start investing, no time is too late. On the contrary, once you experience FOMO, rush to enter, want to make a lot of money, desire financial freedom, and wish to transcend classes, that often marks the beginning of losing money.
