💥 A 10-year-old child's $100 turned into $70 million after 32 years
1993.
A 10-year-old child,
secretly used mom's credit card,
spent $100 to register a domain name: AI.com
The reason was absurdly ridiculous—"AI is the abbreviation of my name."
At that time, there was no wave of artificial intelligence.
No ChatGPT.
No computing power war.
Only a charge that puzzled the mother.
32 years later—this domain was sold for $70 million.
The buyer, reportedly the CEO of Crypto.com.
🩸 What truly hurts?
It's not $70 million.
It's—
that $100,
he held for 32 years.
Not selling after doubling.
Not walking away after making ten times.
Not saying "that's enough."
He just kept holding.
🪙 The most ironic comparison in the crypto world
If back then you:
Bought BTC in 2011
Bought ETH in 2016
Bought SOL in 2020
Could you really hold for 10 years?
Or:
Run after doubling?
Panic after a 30% correction?
Question life during a bear market?
🔥 Getting rich isn't a matter of opportunity
It's a matter of patience.
$100 → $70 million
In between, it went through:
The internet bubble
The financial crisis
The mobile internet
Blockchain
The AI wave
In 32 years,
at least 20 moments of "it seems it's time to sell".
🧠 The harsh truth
99% of people can't earn this kind of money,
Not because they didn't buy it.
It's because— they can't hold on.
Short-term gives you pleasure.
Long-term gives you social mobility.
But long-term:
It's too boring.
Too torturous.
Too lonely.
💣 A more heart-wrenching line
Many people mocked early Bitcoin.
Many people mocked early AI.
History repeatedly proves:
When everyone understands it—it's already expensive.
⚡ This story isn't a motivational tale
It's a reminder:
The assets that truly change destinies,
Often seem absurd in the present.
While you're still chasing candlestick charts,
Some are buying "foundational assets of the era".
🩸 A message for the crypto world
What you lack isn't the next hundredfold coin.
What you lack is—
The courage to buy,
When no one else believes in it,
And the courage to hold. $BTC $ETH #美国科技基金净流 #全球科技股抛售冲击风险资产
