Do you remember those people in 2011? One Bitcoin was only $9.9, some people gritted their teeth and entered the market, while more chose to mock and ridicule — claiming it was a huge scam. Fast forward more than ten years, and now one Bitcoin is worth 800,000.

The same script played out with Ethereum in 2015. Back then, ETH was only $2.9, some daring individuals borrowed money everywhere to prepare for heavy positions, but others, excited by a 10x increase, sold in a panic. Now, Ethereum has skyrocketed to 28,000 per coin.

What do these historical data tell us? Opportunities are more obvious than ever, yet people's reactions are worlds apart. Some see the trend clearly, while others turn a blind eye. Some dare to go all-in, while others regret for a lifetime.

So what will happen in 2026? When new opportunities arise, it will probably be the same — some see it as a complete scam, while others have already gone all-in. Time will ultimately give the answer.

Basically, it's just gambling on human nature. Some people regret it, while others make a killing.

It's the same "regret theory" again, I'm so tired of hearing it that my ears are getting calloused.

To be honest, looking at historical data now is all hindsight. Who could have truly been certain back then?

It's the same old "regret theory" again. It's easy to say, but I used to believe that too, and now I'm still digging a hole in the bottomless pit of trying to buy the dip.

It's the same old story... I've heard it so many times before. To be honest, most of the people entering now are earning from the money of the younger generation. Do they really think they can replicate the story of 2011 in 2026? For those who believe, they've already gone all in. Do they still need to post about it here?

ngl the survivorship bias here is absolutely wild. yeah sure, some guy all-in'd at $9.9 and made generational wealth, but statistically speaking most people who yolo'd back then got liquidated in 2014 or 2018. reminds me of everyone conveniently forgetting about the UST collapse when talking about "missed opportunities"
