This is what foresight looks like:
2008: European visitor lands in China
Converts €1M → ¥11.16M
Spends ¥4.36M over 14 years traveling across China
2022: Converts remaining ¥6.8M back → €1M
Returns to Europe
Result? Free 14-year vacation funded entirely by FX arbitrage. Zero net cost.
This is the power of understanding macro cycles and currency flows. While most chase 10x shitcoins, this person captured structural inefficiencies in fiat pairs.
The lesson: Alpha isn't always in crypto. Sometimes it's in understanding how legacy systems break down over decades. Position accordingly.
