It's inarguable that BTC value has grown immensely overtime and it's one reason to keep accumulating BTC as you can. Apple has just unveiled iPhone 15 which is estimated to cost about 0.031 BTC with the current price. Comparing the price of previous iPhone to bitcoin, you'll see the important of investing in bitcoin than buying assets that depreciate in value overtime.
It would be amazing to have invested in Bitcoin years ago, held it and witnessed its incredible development. I Think Those who did today may buy more than 5k iPhone 15s or many other priceless items. It is true though, that the majority of long term Bitcoin owners choose to use their currency to store value rather than buy items like iPhones. Such talks are largely pointless because it was extremely difficult to predict Bitcoin stratospheric rise a decade ago. But it's never too late to start investing in Bitcoin because it will likely continue to grow in value.
It's our advantage if we can save a lot of Bitcoin, especially since many people have been doing it for a long time. Those who have a lot of Bitcoin can buy other valuable items now, especially when the Bitcoin price can return to its last ATH or even exceed its last ATH.
And that is also the reason many people invest in Bitcoin. They want to get big profits from their investments and not just buy valuable items. And if they have obtained large profits, they can overcome their financial difficulties well.
1 Bitcoin can buy many valuable things so we should be able to have more than 1 Bitcoin. And fortunately, we still have time to own lots of Bitcoin. So we should use this time to start increasing the number of Bitcoins.
