Do you remember the idea that was just born in 2009? At that time, no one could have predicted that this concept, originating from a white paper, would become a force that changes the global financial landscape 17 years later.

Today’s Bitcoin has evolved from an experimental toy in the geek community to a national-level strategic reserve asset. How shocking is this transformation? Just think about it— from a handful of believers to hundreds of millions of people worldwide participating. The road has been filled with skepticism and ridicule, but it is precisely these challenges that have forged its resilience.

Bitcoin’s success has not only opened the door to blockchain technology but also laid the foundation for the prosperity of the entire Web3 ecosystem. Those once deemed impossible are now gradually becoming reality. The story is still unfolding, and we are in the most exciting moment.

This copy is a bit much, national strategic reserves? That's funny. Basically, it's still a gambler's mentality supporting this market. But on the other hand, it's impressive that someone has survived this long from a geeky thing.

Now the whole world is chasing it Things that were mocked along the way are actually the ones that last the longest Web3 is still in its early days; the most exciting moments are yet to come

Who the hell believed it at the beginning? Looking back now, it's truly amazing. Honestly, the people who bought it back then must have been so awesome. From the white paper to national assets, the contrast is incredible... The people who mocked Bitcoin back then are probably kicking themselves now. Wait, is Web3 really about to rise? It still feels a bit虚. Persisting for over ten years to see this day—that's called faith. The geek brothers from back then are probably financially free now, right?

Honestly, who would have thought back then? Now I feel even more fortunate that I didn't sell too early. Still reminiscing about how 2017 felt like time was flying by. Every time I see the price, I recall the initial doubts. From the white paper to national reserves, this really makes you feel what a historical turning point is. This wave of Web3 opportunities is truly different; you have to seize it. The geek dream from back then has now turned into a global financial game. Interesting.

Damn, the group that said BTC was a scam back then must be all swollen-faced now haha From geek toys to national reserves, this reversal is incredible... But speaking of Web3, has it really taken off? Well, it sounds nice, but the current narrative is still a bit too optimistic Since 2009 until now, the bold ones have made it big Not resilience, mainly just luck + market demand The group that believed in Bitcoin is now the real winner But this wave of narrative feels a bit familiar... every cycle is talked about this way That's why I went all in. If you don't believe it, give it a try What was once criticized the most has now become national assets, how ironic You guys are hyping stories, we're making money
