In 5 years, from a newbie just coming of age to a freelance traveler around the world - sounds like a sweet story, right? But this path is not as glamorous as it seems.



The protagonist of the story was born in 2001 and at the age of 18 plunged into the world of cryptocurrency. At first, it was a simple strategy: hoarding Bitcoin and holding on tight. With this approach, they accumulated their first pot of gold. By the age of 23, they had achieved a lifestyle that most young people wouldn't even dare to imagine.

But those who have a high topic of discussion never lack controversy.

I’m not afraid of being talked about.
"Black or red, they are all just hype."
The controversy surrounding the 1e payment community.
There are jokes about ORDI newbies everywhere.
And there was that time I wanted to buy ORDI but accidentally bought ORDS instead.
Not to mention the fact that the 200,000 HKD donation ended up being a disaster.

Some say this is a marketing tactic, while others believe it is genuine. Regardless of how the outside world perceives it, this young professional has established a foothold in this circle in their own way.

The cryptocurrency world has never lacked wealth-building myths, but those who can continue to move forward amidst the storm of public opinion are the ones who truly treat this as a career.

Hodling Bitcoin long-term is indeed a solid strategy, but is it still feasible to do so now?

Hodling Bitcoin is indeed a brilliant move, but not many can stay standing in the storm.

Holding Bitcoin for 5 years and earning enough to travel the world basically comes down to catching that bull market wave. For newcomers entering the market now, it's much harder.

Hoarding Bitcoin and holding it without moving is a trap that sounds simple, but very few actually stick to it. That said, the controversies have instead helped him gain notoriety; that's just how the crypto world is.

Hoard Bitcoin, this is real action. Much better than those who chase trends every day.

Ha, holding BTC is easy to say but really difficult to do, I just don't have that kind of patience.

Holding Bitcoin without moving it, this guy is truly a breath of fresh air in the crypto world, much more reliable than those who chase trends every day.
