Uncovering ten years of price records, only then do you understand the power of time.



Back in 2015, gold was only $38 per gram, cheaper than Bitcoin, and you could own one for just $430. Who would have thought that by 2024, gold had skyrocketed to $80 per gram, while Bitcoin was approaching the $94,000 mark. Now, at the end of 2025, the gold buyback price has risen to $138 per gram, with some brands' retail prices even surpassing $200 per gram, and Bitcoin hovers around $88,000.

Numbers speak: gold has increased by about 306% over the past decade, sounds pretty good, right? But Bitcoin's growth outshines it—over 20,000%. The gap is almost unbelievable. But that's the problem: gold is steady happiness, with low volatility and guaranteed sleep quality; what about Bitcoin? It has experienced multiple corrections of over 50%, and the psychological fluctuations are not to be underestimated.

Speaking of which, I remember I bought 2 Bitcoins last year. The public opinion was boiling over at the time, talking about the upcoming "Shanzhai season," and the four-year cycle of a bull market was about to start. But what happened? I couldn't resist the temptation, held for a short while, then went to play with altcoins. Looking back now, that decision is a bit regrettable.

So, I want to ask everyone: what year did you first get into gold or Bitcoin? Do you still remember the price back then? Behind each person's story is a profound experience with market cycles and human nature.

lmao the irony here is thick... you're lamenting short-term timing when the real governance attack vector is protocol dependency itself. people chase 20000% returns while completely blind to the consensus layer vulnerabilities that could unwind it all. that's the margin of disruption nobody talks about.

Really, back when it was $430, why didn't I buy in? Now I think about it, it's all tears.

Selling those 2 coins was really a mistake. Now you're probably kicking yourself with regret, haha.

Bro, you're right, but it also hits a little close to home... I started paying attention to Bitcoin in 2017, when it was just over $4,000. I didn't take action back then. Now looking at on-chain data and those early large wallet holders... it really can keep you up all night.

Damn, $430 for one BTC? I should have bought it back then even if I had to sell everything I had.
