I have a friend who found bitcoin in 2011 because he typed “how to get rich quick” into google and it came up as a result lol

He’s now worth 50 million dollars

Only in bitcoin 😂

Bro.

One quick trick

🤣😂 Sometimes you really just have to ask.

In 2025 it’s “how to get rich slowly”. 😄

Yess. Not longer a “get rick quick scheme” but as I like to say “how to not get poor slowly”. I stole that from someone but can’t remember who.

Yes! That’s more accurate 😄

Wow 😎 Proof that some Google searches really do pay off… in sats! 🪙💎

50M and still HODLing, legend status unlocked 😂🔥

He had to make the choice every day, for ~5,000 days, to keep hodling. Simple, not easy.

Hopefully those ~500 coins exist as UTXOs and not as Mt Gox claims...lots of people made the right decision pre-2014, but ended up getting Goxxed.

He got goxxed but still ended up ok. He should be worth 250 million

So true.

When people chalk these situations up to luck, it’s a vastly underestimating the strength and resolve it takes to hodl

Don’t try that shit now. 🤣

Shitcoins ahoy

555 bitcoins….. nice

Living on the 1 sock per hour standard probably… damn

$50MM in 15 years isn’t that quick honestly. It’s about 1/5 of a human lifetime.

Bro only 0.007% of the global population have 50 million dollars net worth. Achieving it at all is rare as fuck. Achieving it in 15 years is exceptionally quick.

I have high standards I guess. 🌳🐿️

I’ll be disappointed if it takes me that long.

Hope you do it sooner!

That’s up to BTC adoption curve and money printer 🖨️ speed. Of course $50 Mill won’t be worth as much by then.

I expect $104K BTC by YE

A 10% gain or so for 2025

NOOO BITCOIN IS A SAVINGS TECHNOLOGY NOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME

PUT IT BACK

very very very few understood it back then so no offense to your friend but he or she just got lucky

Understanding something early isn’t always “luck.”

Sometimes it’s simply being conscious, open, and aligned enough to learn when the opportunity presents itself.

I first heard about Bitcoin in 2017 and ignored it.

My mind wasn’t open yet.

Pain has a way of changing that—pain is often the greatest teacher. By 2024, I finally hit the point where I had to understand what was happening around me. That discomfort cracked me open just enough to truly see Bitcoin.

Since then, I’ve shared Bitcoin with so many people. A few recognize what a gift that knowledge is. Most don’t—yet. And that’s okay.

But is it “fair” that someday, when the masses finally wake up to Bitcoin, they’ll look at early adopters and call it “luck”?

No.

It wasn’t luck.

I was awake.

I chose to pay attention.

I invited others to wake up too.

Everyone arrives at Bitcoin in their own time, in their own season, through their own lessons.

Godspeed to all on that journey. 🟧

being at the right place in life at the right time with the right mindset and with the ability to recognize all this *and* act the right way i still call luck.

the luck of having it all aligned.

i talk about 2011 kind of luck not the 2024's

That definitely makes sense. It would be rare for all of those things you mentioned to align. One thing is forsure - it’s not luck to hodl 365 days a year for 10+ years.

2011? He was so late

Hahahahah you can just do things!

I love that people who type in google "how to get rich quick", can actually be patient. ☺️

Easy win.

🤓🗽

love those stories.
