Forty years later, you are retired, and Bitcoin has disappeared for almost forty years.
You are lying on a deck chair in the courtyard, surrounded by your grandchildren, who are curiously asking:
“Grandpa, I heard you played with Bitcoin when you were young? Was it really true that in 2026, it was worth seventy thousand dollars each?”
One sentence, like a thunderclap, leaves you frozen in place.
Your thoughts are suddenly pulled back to 2026 —
At that time, you were still struggling with whether to go all in and buy at the bottom, fixated on waiting for a minimum point of 25,000, yet you completely missed the entire market movement.
As the children gently rock you, you come back to your senses and force a calm voice:
“Of course, Grandpa owned multiple Bitcoins back then.”
Before the words are out of your mouth, your grandson dissatisfiedly asks:
“Then Grandpa, why hasn't our family gone bankrupt?”
You are momentarily speechless, lift your head, and smile broadly.
The scene suddenly rewinds, and time returns to 2026.
At this moment, you are standing at a crossroads, hesitating over the seventy thousand dollars Bitcoin.
