Picture this: someone snags a 100 BTC Casascius bar in 2011 for just $500.



Then what? Hold through everything. The rallies. The crashes. The doubt. Every single cycle that tests your patience and nerves.

Fast forward to 2025—finally time to exit. That $500 bet? Now worth $10 million.

That's the real story here. Not the hype, not the noise. It's about staying the course when volatility tries to shake you out. It's about understanding that crypto's biggest wealth transfers go to those willing to sit tight through the chaos. Fourteen years of conviction. One moment of realization.

This is what true long-term thinking looks like in Bitcoin.

Not moving a finger for 14 years, this is how you make money... If I had this mindset, I would have been financially free long ago.

Really, holding on since 2014 and only finally making a profit. I just want to ask, how many people can hold on from 2011 to 2025 without wavering? I definitely can't...

Bro, holding 100 Bitcoin since 2014 without moving? My heart would have exploded long ago.

Damn, it took me until 2014 to reach this number. I haven't even made a dime in the past 2 years.
