Remember those years, when many people shouted that Bitcoin was a scam. Very few dared to go all-in when everyone else was questioning it.

Doing what others dare not do, thinking what others dare not think—history is always created this way. If that group of people had been scared away by public opinion back then, without their persistence and purchasing power, there would be no moments of new historical highs later on.

Not understanding, not daring to buy, filled with uncertainty—these mindsets once blocked most people. And the few who broke through psychological barriers have long witnessed the evolution of the market.

Interestingly, Bitcoin has never been a safe-haven asset. It fundamentally drives the greed in people's hearts—desire for wealth, opportunity, and changing their fate. During market fluctuations, panic and greed intertwine, but in the long run, what always drives this market is greed.

ngl the "greed is the fundamental driver" take hits different when you actually examine the incentive structures. it's not even moral psychology at this point—it's just game theory playing out

No problem with that. The tough guys back then really bet right, now they have the confidence to brag. People who bought early are definitely enjoying it now, but many who joined later also made profits. The key is to hold on. The saying that greed drives the market hits the mark; we have to admit that this is the game rule. How are those who doubted Bitcoin back then doing now? They must be pretty uncomfortable, haha. The group of people who went all-in either became gods or got liquidated; there's really no middle ground.

If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in now. Unfortunately, I was too timid back then. --- Well said, greed is the true faith. --- That's why I want to buy everything I see now... I must stop. --- I listened to my friends back then, now I should listen to myself. --- Haha, as expected of a "safe-haven asset," it’s all my money that’s being hedged. --- I understand the principles, but my hands are still trembling. --- So now is the time to go all in. --- History is always written by those who regret. --- I’ve taken full advantage of panic and greed. --- Really, those who understand early are already lying flat. --- I have plenty of greed, just not enough principal. --- Instead of dwelling on the past, think about what you might miss next. --- The market is like this; the most people just can’t understand it.

Honestly, where are the people who shouted scam back then now? All-in players are now counting their money, it's that simple. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense; history never waits for anyone. We are all driven by greed, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Those who entered early will laugh last; this is the game rule of the market.
