#Gate广场披萨节 Buying ten thousand pancakes to get pizza, some things, it's okay to believe just a little bit!



The first Bitcoin was mined by Satoshi Nakamoto on January 3, 2009, marking the launch of the Bitcoin network. This event is regarded as the beginning of the cryptocurrency era.
At that time, the whole world thought this air coin was a joke, with no transactions for over a year.
That year, Bitcoin's first year, this air coin was worth zero, nobody wanted it even if it was free.
In May 2010, a programmer used 10k Bitcoins to buy two pizzas, known as the Pizza Transaction.
Based on the pizza prices at that time, this transaction valued Bitcoin at about $0.0025 per coin.
The smallest denomination of US dollar currency is the cent, same as the RMB.
In the pizza transaction, Bitcoin was worth 0.25 cents, meaning four Bitcoins together were worth one cent.
This was Bitcoin’s first public transaction record.
Later, in July 2010, the first Bitcoin exchange was established, and Bitcoin rose to $0.05, or five cents, a 20-fold increase in two months.
Decades have passed, and this air coin, according to today’s market, is at least $60,000, which converts to hundreds of thousands of RMB—definitely a luxury car.

Back then, when we saw the news about Bitcoin buying pizza, we just thought it was a strange novelty.
Just funny, like the story of someone in Norway’s primal forest using bottles to collect air and selling it in New York to rich people—just as funny.
We didn’t realize it was something that could change destiny, something that a small individual like us could participate in with very little cost.
Now, everyone can be tough-talking, nobody believes it, or rather, it’s not within my understanding of what I can earn.
In the quiet of the night, thinking about this, don’t you want to slap yourself?
Why are you so unbelieving? Just a tiny, tiny bit of belief—would it kill you?

Under consensus, everything is possible. You can doubt, but it’s best to keep a little bit of belief.
You can doubt that gold won’t go to the sky, just as you can doubt that houses won’t go to the sky, but doubt is doubt, it’s better to allocate some.

The gap is about comparison. Take Bitcoin, for example, if you have none and compare yourself to someone with one Bitcoin, the wealth gap is over 600,000 RMB.
Compare to someone with ten Bitcoins, the gap is over 10k RMB.
Compare to someone with a hundred Bitcoins, the gap is over 600 million RMB.
They did nothing, just because they believe more than you, the wealth gap is so big.
Do you accept that or not?
It’s just that without Bitcoin, the impact isn’t that big because most people don’t have it.
Only a very few become wealthy because of it.
You have no reference point around you, no comparison, and without comparison, there’s no harm.

It’s like a race. At first, everyone relies on two legs, running.
Suddenly, someone gets on a plane and zooms ahead.
After a while, someone takes a high-speed train and speeds past.
Then, someone gets in a Land Rover and rushes forward chasing stars and the moon.
You shout that the referee is unfair and someone is cheating, but the referee also gets on an electric scooter and speeds away, leaving you in the wind.
Isn’t that embarrassing? $BTC
BTC-0.21%
PAXG-2.01%
