In 2012, I spent $500 to buy a physical Bitcoin bar, which contained 100 real BTC. In recent months, I sold it for $10 million. From a few hundred dollars to a net worth of ten million, this is the story of early holders. How much is the $500 from back then worth now? Just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle. Such a level of return multiple is legendary in any investment field. But it also serves as a reminder to later entrants that Bitcoin has always been a game of risk and reward.

Early adopters really have it good; relying on luck to make a living is truly a gamble.

Early investors have all become gods; now entering the market can only be for the leek.
