Here’s a no-BS take:
Yeah, if you threw $10k into BNB at the 2017 ICO price (~$0.15), you’d be sipping cocktails on a yacht with $60M+ today. Congrats, time traveler.
But let’s be real for a second:
- 99.9% of people didn’t buy at ICO. Most FOMO’d in at $20, $200, or (hilariously) $600+ thinking “it’s still early.”
- Even if you somehow nailed the bottom, would you have held through -90% crashes in 2018, 2022, and every exchange hack scare? Most sold at $3 crying “it’s dead.”
- That $10k could’ve gone to Bitcoin (still 50x+), Ethereum (200x+), or literally any other top-10 coin that outperformed BNB for years. Hindsight makes everyone a genius.
The game isn’t finding the “next BNB.” It’s having the steel stomach to hold something while the world screams it’s going to zero, then not panic-selling at 100x because “surely this is the top.”
Past performance is just a flex. Future millionaires will be made the same way: buying something good, ignoring the noise, and actually holding.
Most won’t. That’s why they’ll still be posting the same “if only” memes in 2030.
