1. According to statistics: In 2023, the global distribution of personal net wealth shows that the elite class, with a net worth of over 1 million USD, consists of only 62.5 million people, approximately 0.89% of the world's total population of 7 billion.
2. According to the pigeonhole principle, if 21 million BTC were evenly distributed among these 62.5 million people, each person would only receive 0.336 BTC.
3. In other words, today you only need to spend less than 250,000 yuan to achieve a wealth status equivalent to that of an elite class with a net asset of one million USD on the scale of measuring global wealth in Bitcoin.
4. Perhaps, what if the investment amount of 250,000 still seems too high? No worries, we can lower it one level to see.
The next wealth level after having a net worth of one million USD is the lower-middle class of 100,000 to one million USD. The number of people in this class worldwide totals 627 million, about 8.9% of the world's total population.
Adding these two tiers together, the total is 689.5 million people, sharing 21 million, with each person receiving at most no more than 0.03 BTC. 0.03 BTC today costs only less than 30,000 yuan.
5. If it still feels challenging, we can lower it another level, down to the lower-middle class of 10,000 to 100,000 USD. This class has about 1.791 billion people worldwide, accounting for about 25.6%.
The total number of the top three tiers adds up to 2.48 billion people, sharing 21 million, with an average of no more than 0.0085 BTC per person, equivalent to today's cost of about 6,000 yuan.
5. The total supply of Bitcoin is 21 million, and believers will categorize the 'wealth freedom' measured in coins into three levels:
Holds 2.1 Bitcoins, accounting for one-ten-millionth of the total;
Holds 21 Bitcoins, accounting for one-millionth of the total;
Holds 210 Bitcoins, accounting for one-hundred-thousandth of the total.
Moving up, we talk about the so-called 'thousand-coin holders' and 'ten-thousand-coin candidates'. Unless by chance, it is generally unlikely for an average person to 'become wealthy' to this level anymore.
6. Let's talk about the macro level. Currently, the market value of Bitcoin is around 2 trillion USD, ranking seventh globally, only behind Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google's parent company Alphabet. What about 10 years later?
7. More and more listed companies are starting to buy in bulk, for example, MicroStrategy has already purchased over 430,000 BTC.
8. Someone has statistically analyzed the average lifespan of fiat currencies issued by governments around the world, which is: 27 years.
9. Many people believe that Bitcoin will ultimately change the world. It is these believers in Bitcoin who have endowed Bitcoin with consensus and value, and I am one of them. The reason I believe in Bitcoin is that the fiat currency in the real world is too terrible—most importantly, it is becoming increasingly shameless!
10. Don't think too much about it; don't care about the current price levels. Buying now at 20,000 to 30,000 won't lead to losses or scams. You will thank your current self ten years later.
For every person holding Bitcoin, there are only two types of groups in this world: one group holds Bitcoin, and the other has not yet held Bitcoin.
