The difference between sight & recognition.

British singer Lily Allen once said she rejected hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin payment for a single virtual concert over a decade ago.

At the time, Bitcoin was unfamiliar, experimental, and easy to dismiss.

Today, that same amount would probably be worth billions — but this shouldn’t be framed as regret or “missing out.”

It’s a reminder that new technology often looks unnecessary or useless before it becomes normal… then mainstream… then indispensable.

Most people don’t reject innovation because it lacks value.

They reject it because they don’t yet understand the technology, its value proposition, or its long-term impact.

The real lesson isn’t about price.

It’s about learning early enough to recognize value before the train leaves the station.
