That was in 2008, when I was a sophomore. At that time, a good friend of mine was very excited to find me and tell me that he had discovered a magical thing that could make money by running programs on a computer, and that was Bitcoin. At that time, Bitcoin had just come out, and it was cheap, and one Bitcoin was only worth a few cents. According to rumors in the online community, it may reach a few dollars in the future. My friend was thrilled to introduce me to Bitcoin and persuaded me to sign up for an account as well.
But when I first heard about Bitcoin, I didn't think it was reliable, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't pay much attention to his suggestion, but gave up after a cursory glance. I didn't realize at the time that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As time passed, I gradually forgot about Bitcoin. Until 2020, when the epidemic was raging, I was staying at home and scrolling through Douyin, when I suddenly saw the news that Bitcoin had risen to more than $30,000 a piece. It dawned on me that I regretted it. If I had followed my friend's advice and mined a few bitcoins, I would now have at least a few million yuan in assets.
I slapped my thigh, and my heart was mixed. I missed one of the most missed opportunities of my life to get rich. Back in 2008, it was very easy to mine Bitcoin, maybe dozens of coins a month. And with almost no expenditure, huge wealth can be obtained. But I missed it so easily.
But then I think about it, if I had really mined Bitcoin at that time, I would probably have returned to the current state. Because if I hold Bitcoin, I'll keep an eye on it. With my character, I will probably sell it when it comes to *** to a few dollars. There's a high probability I won't be able to wait for it to rise to 30,000 yuan. Unless I keep forgetting about it, and I think about it after 12 years, I can only hold this situation.
Therefore, people can't make money beyond their own cognition. Sometimes I think it's just a kind of luck. Some are destined to have great wealth, while others are destined to be ordinary. We can't do the future, we can only do our best and cherish the present.
