When I am writing the post, Bitcoin is trading at $108K. If we go back 15 years, Bitcoin had been trading at $0.01 on July 4. If you compare the price difference, then it's more than 1B%. That means from the 4th of July till today, the Bitcoin price has risen more than 100%. Who had dreamed the price would go this high in 2010? This was really unimaginable—a 1,078,000,000% increase in 15 years back. This is a reminder of what the price of Bitcoin would be after the next 15 years. Especially a reminder for those who still don't believe in Bitcoin power.

More than 100% is really too small a number, so you could have added a few more zeros to better illustrate how much the price increase actually is. However, what you will most likely not be right about is that in the next 15 years, something similar to what happened in the past 15 years will happen when it comes to the price of BTC.

My opinion (not financial advice) is that the price of BTC in the next 15 years could be x10 higher at most - but even 1 BTC = $1 million shouldn't fascinate anyone too much because the $ will certainly weaken significantly, and the purchasing power of $1 million today and in 15 years will be far less.

Whoever intends to hold longer, it would inspire them how the Bitcoin price has been growing from the beginning till today. Sometimes I regret why I hadn't bought a lot of Bitcoin during that time, even though I had a lot of money to buy. Maybe some people will regret in the future why they didn't buy Bitcoin today. I found Bitcoin when it was trading below $3K.

Do you mean around 2010? Well, back then, relatively few people knew about BTC, even 5 years later the situation wasn't much better, and it wasn't until the big bull run of 2017 that people started to take BTC a little more seriously. Crying over spilt milk has done no good to anyone.

What was the price your first purchased Bitcoin?
Let's share your experience. For me, I can't exactly remember, but it was between $2700 and $2800.


I started buying when the price was around $200, sometimes I regret not buying more, or selling something for a small profit - but I've made up for all that in the years that have followed. Therefore, my advice to anyone who has any regrets is to leave them in the past and make some kind of plan to accumulate as much BTC as possible, because if you don't, those with suitcases full of money will definitely do it.
