Do you remember the story from 2010? A computer engineer spent 10,000 bitcoins to buy a pizza. Fifteen years later, Bitcoin has risen from $0.004 to $120,000, and this number itself tells a story about faith.
The most interesting thing is that this year, the U.S. President also started using Bitcoin to buy things. These two events together mark the evolution of Bitcoin from a geeky toy to a mainstream asset. From engineers to politicians, from pizza to burgers, seemingly trivial consumer behaviors actually reflect a fundamental shift in the status of the crypto market.
Of course, there have always been skeptics. But to be honest, the imagination space of the cryptocurrency ecosystem might be bigger than many people think. Digital assets represented by Bitcoin have attracted more and more top-tier participants. In the future, this track will see the emergence of 100 or even more leaders.
In this process, the most important thing is not to predict prices, but to keep building. No matter how the market fluctuates, being a builder who believes in technology and the future is always more meaningful than obsessing over short-term rises and falls. The story of Bitcoin is far from over, and the chapter of the crypto market has just begun.

Haha, the Pizza Boy move was really awesome, but what I care more about is how much wool I can fleece in this round.

That pizza guy must regret it now, but then again, this is the fate of early builders.

The guy who exchanged 10,000 BTC for a pizza must be really regretting it now... But then again, those who have stuck with it until now are the real winners.

That engineer is probably kicking himself now... But on the other hand, the stories of early believers are the craziest.
