In 2011, a Bitcoin was priced at 3.5 yuan on Taobao, and few people bought it. Someone spent 100 yuan to buy 30 coins, and not long after, sold them for a profit to buy a meal. Someone posted on a forum asking what this thing could do, but no one paid attention to him.

Fourteen years later, a Bitcoin soared to a peak of 400k RMB. At that time, someone spent 3,500 yuan to buy 1,000 coins, left them untouched, and the highest value reached 400k. But it was as if they hadn’t said anything; those who could spend 3,500 yuan to buy this in 2011 were either crazy or had a mine at home. The rest of the people still earnestly explained to others that Bitcoin was a scam.

The most heartbreaking part is, even if you turn back time to 2011, you wouldn’t buy it. You don’t know it will rise, and by the time you do, it’s already too late. The greatest pain in life is never missing an opportunity; it’s watching the opportunity slip away right in front of your eyes, yet still thinking you’re clever.
