🤯 Imagine buying 80,000 $BTC ‌ in 2011 for just $260,000.



What happened next?

• Entry price: ~$3.25 per BTC
• Held through multiple bull and bear markets
• Didn't sell a single coin for nearly 14 years
• Finally exited in 2025 for over $9B

That's a return of more than 34,000x.

The biggest lesson isn't the return.

It's the patience, conviction, and ability to hold through years of volatility.

It sounds fake—like 34,000x—but Bitcoin’s early days really did have something like that.

It’s been 14 years without touching the wallet—this kind of self-control is impressive.

I bought it in 2017 and panic-sold it after just three months.

The word “conviction” has been overused, but there aren’t many people who can truly pull it off.

Selling only in 2025—are we looking at a top call, or has it finally found a way to spend it?

When it was 3.25 yuan, I was in middle school, and I’m still working a job now.

What I care about is: has this wallet address been made public? I want to watch the drama.
