Someone unearthed an old video, in which a mother is filming her son — the child just spent $1,000 to buy 1 million BTC.

At the time, this move might have been considered a joke by family members. Who would have thought? Based on current prices, this stash is worth $92 billion, with a return rate soaring to 92 million times.

Stories like this from early adoption always evoke mixed feelings. Some say it's a myth, while others question its authenticity. But regardless, it serves as a reminder: this market has never lacked wealth creation legends; what was missing was the foresight and courage back then.

Damn, I've heard this story so many times, I want to smash the screen every time. If I had known earlier, I should have been born in 2010. Actually, the real question is... who can hold on for that long? 920 billion? Dreaming, haha. Vision? No, it's just that they guessed right. I really want to know how he's doing now, is he still around? That's why I think twice before going all in every time. The story sounds good, but entering now? Haha. Historical relics, only a time machine can replicate. Did they really buy? I believe someone did, but this number... It's too late to say anything now; the key is whether you can wait for that day.

Damn, I've heard this story a hundred times, and I still want to smash my phone every time. How regretful this guy must be now; he should have hoarded more back then. Honestly, who the hell could predict this? It's all luck. Here we go again, stories like this always cut into new investors' hearts. If I had known, I would have gone all in on Bitcoin. Now it's too late to say anything. By the way, how authentic is this video? It feels almost like a legend. No way, this return rate... Was I blinded? The most heartbreaking thing is watching others achieve financial freedom dreams…

Damn, is this real? I've heard this story countless times. If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in. Now, what's the use of regretting? 92 billion? Just listen and forget it. I don't believe you. Everyone who dared to go all-in back then has become a god. Why are we still hesitating here?

Oh my, is this story real? It feels like this is always the same line of reasoning. It's really about luck and timing; most people who bought early have already cut their losses. The figure of 92 billion sounds outrageous; trusting this is less reliable than believing you can turn things around yourself. Seeing too many of these posts has actually made me a bit numb. Early on, some people did get rich quickly, but I guess more paid the price. To put it simply, it's survivor bias causing trouble.

I've heard too many stories like this, and it's hard to tell what's true or false. But it does remind us how terrifying the opportunity cost was for early entrants. Is there still a way to find such vulnerabilities now? Pretty much no chance.

Damn, is this story real or fake? Buying 10 million BTC with 1,000 dollars? Why do I feel like these numbers don't add up? If this were really true, they'd be financially free long ago and wouldn't need to come out and tell stories. What vision and courage? Sometimes it's just pure luck, don't give me motivational crap. Early entrants are countless, so why is this guy popular? Probably just marketing copy. 920 billion... Just thinking about it makes my head bald, and they still talk about reminding us that we're late to buy everything now, right?

Damn, whether it's real or fake doesn't matter. The key is that I regret it to death now. Life is just missing one thing after another. I wish I had known earlier and sold everything to buy coins, haha. Every time I watch this story, I want to smash my phone. 920 billion... I'm jealous. If I had that vision, I would have been financially free by now. The maddest thing is that this might have actually happened.

OMG I've heard this story countless times, who knows what's true or false If it were real, I’d have to dig a hole and crawl inside Back then, $1,000 could buy a million coins? Now I can't even imagine That's why we're still here, while others have already achieved financial freedom 92 billion... I can't count how many zeros there are Whether true or false, it's enough to make someone regret for a lifetime After hearing this kind of story so many times, there's nothing but heartbreak Back then, that kind of vision... how many people are truly gifted with foresight into the future?

Damn, I should have just gone all in on Bitcoin instead of selling everything to buy a pot. --- How many times have I heard this story? The key is who really held on. --- 920 billion? That’s bullshit. How many satoshis would that take? --- That bit of luck in the early days can’t be replicated anymore, bro. --- This is a classic survivor bias. There are countless stories like this. --- Whether it’s true or not, the real question is can it still double now? --- Laughing my ass off, 1 million coins? Back then, anyone could mine them. And now? --- That’s why I’m still dollar-cost averaging. The next one could be me. --- A thousand bucks is nothing. The important thing is the foresight back then. --- Every time I see posts like this, I want to smash my phone, but I still keep playing.
