Putting the process aside, how do I view the fact that when I was a child, I sold a pencil to my deskmate for one hundred million dollars and then bought it back the next day for one hundred million and one dollars.
We created 200 million in GDP and possessed fixed assets worth one billion. Unfortunately, we didn’t continue playing this game later and temporarily didn’t find a buyer. So now, even though we have long achieved financial freedom, we still believe that labor is the greatest wealth, and we honestly continue to work hard to earn pocket money. I estimate that many newcomers focus only on the results and not on the process, but I remember a few years ago, major media outlets publicly reported that the so-called transaction amount was just two robots playing around with a Bitcoin. You list it for ten thousand, I buy it, then list it for ten thousand and one hundred and sell it back to you, and the transaction amount and price growth curve are established.
Did anyone make money in this process? Of course, there are always lucky and smart individuals.
But it must be said that Tokyo's housing prices went from worthless to being able to buy all of America and then back to being nearly worthless; 99% of homeowners are just spectators—they sit at home watching their nominal assets ride a roller coaster, sometimes feeling financially free and sometimes indifferent. This is actually the same as my childhood pencil freedom.
Bitcoin is not a Bitcoin "currency"; for now, it is not currency but rather equivalent to casino chips, Q coins, or the straw hat of a killer confirming an order. When 100 Q coins can be exchanged for one dollar, it does not mean that Ma Huateng can shake a few times and use 1,000,000,000,000,000 Q coins to buy all of America.
