#密码资产动态追踪 Suppose ten years ago you casually threw in $1,000. What would it look like today?

Just look at this set of comparison data—

$ETH: $27.9 million
Bitcoin: $1.8 million
Shopify: $67,000
Tesla: $30,000
Broadcom: $26,000
Apple: $10,600
Microsoft: $9,137
Google: $8,897
Netflix: $8,124
Amazon: $8,100
Meta: $6,638
Oracle: $5,465

See the pattern?

Those truly life-changing wealth increases almost all come from bets that seemed a bit crazy back then. They ride the wave of technological trends—cryptocurrency ecosystems, chip revolutions, internet platforms, and so on.

Contrast that with those universally recognized great companies? The long-term returns vary dramatically. Early investors and latecomers, those who risked everything and those who bailed midway—results are worlds apart.

The core point has never been "whether to chase the next Ethereum."

The real game rule is:

**What determines the ceiling is not the win rate, but the asymmetry of odds.**

With limited downside and unlimited upside opportunities in front of you, even a 30% chance of success, over ten years, can lead to extreme polarization.

The most painful truth is—anyone can calculate returns, but the difficult part is remaining completely still and holding on tightly amid the worldwide mockery and skepticism.

Those who persist in holding are not winning because of analytical skills; they are winning because of psychological resilience.

Time is the most easily overlooked, yet the most powerful weapon of compound interest.

Damn, 20 million ETH... The gap in these numbers is really incredible. If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in ten years ago.

Crazy returns... Poor me, I didn't have the guts ten years ago. If I had known, I would have gone all in now. Really, sticking to it is easier said than done. Ten years of mental preparation is no easy feat; I wanted to give up back in 2017.

Damn, ETH has increased by 280 times? This data is a bit outrageous. The people who really went all-in ten years ago are probably free now, right?

Oh my, looking at this data gave me a heart attack. If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in. --- Honestly, who dared to go all in on Ethereum ten years ago? Now it's too late to regret. --- The key is to have that mindset. Most people simply can't endure the turmoil in the middle. --- The non-symmetry of odds is indeed incredible, but the problem is that execution is a thousand times harder than theory. --- What's even more frustrating is that some people around me bought ten years ago and still cut their losses in the middle—typical case of losing everything after a gain. --- Psychological resilience? Uh... my mental strength is still not enough to handle the agony of holding a position. --- Everyone understands the logic of time compounding, but only a few can stick with it. I am one of those who understand but can't do it. --- So, choosing the right track is half the battle; the other half depends on whether you can withstand public opinion and keep holding. --- An ETH return of 27.9 million times beats all traditional assets, but who knows how many times those who bought ten years ago felt like smashing their phones in frustration? --- That's why the rich are getting richer, while the poor are still debating whether to chase the trend.

Hey, that number of 27.9 million is really incredible. Why didn't I have the guts to go all in ten years ago... Thinking about it now gives me a heart attack.
