I am not into BTC, but I have many friends who do, and they are also financially independent. I first learned about BTC when I was in high school, around 2014-2015. A classmate of mine introduced me to BTC. I didn’t know anything at the time, but I mined with him. In the end, I didn’t mine anything and it ended.

Later, I went abroad to invest in derivatives and met some people who do Bitcoin. To sum up, there are generally two types of people I know who do cryptocurrency in the early days. One type has lost everything, no job, no family, and takes the last savings to gamble. The other type is that the family is very rich, just to diversify investments, like a buddy of mine, his father gave him 20 million yuan for investment, he used 2 million yuan to invest in BTC, and bought financial management with the rest, and finally became 200 million this year, but this 200 million is nothing to their family, not to mention the 20 million yuan back then.

So many people have been struggling with whether they have missed a lot of opportunities. In fact, it is not that they have missed, but that they do not have the ability (including courage, technology, family, capital, etc.). Because most people will save some money through hard work, they will worry about whether this investment will ruin their previous efforts. After finally becoming middle class, they will lose everything if the investment fails (this is the courage to gamble). Another reason is that they go all in but their skills are poor and they become leeks.

For example, if everyone knew that the A-shares this year had risen a lot, they would have sold their houses and invested in stocks, but how many people dared to do so? So afterwards, they will regret why they didn’t do it earlier, but in fact, this is really a problem of ability.
