#数字资产市场动态 Eight years ago, I heard that old joke—ten thousand bitcoins for two pizzas.



Back then, my friends and I laughed so hard, thinking this was just a geek's video game, and no one would really put money into code. The crypto world was like an underground trading market, with prices jumping faster than a heartbeat. Some people doubled their money overnight, only to vanish the next day. We all thought it was just a fleeting craze.

But in the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.

The Bitcoin pizza story has been written into textbooks, and the initial laughter has gradually faded. I have also gone from a spectator watching the fun to someone who is truly involved.

What changed my mind the most wasn't a sudden surge in prices—I've seen that too many times—but the moment when the spot ETF was approved.

When that news popped up on the screen, I thought I would be so excited I’d jump up, but instead, my heart sank.

In that instant, I understood what a turning point is. This is no longer just a game for insiders to entertain themselves. When the compliant track is laid out and the regulatory framework is in place, it means the era of wild expansion is coming to an end.

Those who relied on intuition, courage, and staying awake through sleepless nights will gradually be eliminated.

Only those who understand patience, value discipline, and treat risk as normal will truly remain.

I've also heard the pizza story, and I really thought it was a huge joke at the time, haha... Now that I think about it, that guy was the real prophet, and we all got slapped in the face. Compliance really changed the flavor; the thrill of the wild growth period is gone, replaced by... forget it, what's meant to come will come.

I'm already tired of the pizza part, the real turning point was actually that moment with the ETF, it felt like the entire community's vibe changed.

Back then, I laughed at those jokes until I cramped up, and now I'm still here... Once the ETF passed, it felt like the entire game rules changed. It's no longer about excitement; it's really about discipline.

Oh no, isn't this our story? The joke from back then has now become a textbook anecdote. I went from being a bystander to a real participant, and now I'm a bit scared.
