Bitcoin's Journey: From Pop Culture to Portfolio Gold



Rewind to January 15, 2012. The Good Wife aired an episode featuring Bitcoin for the first time on mainstream television — a moment when most people had no idea what crypto even meant.

Fast forward to today. That $100 investment back then? It's sitting at over $1.4 million. Not a typo.

Think about that for a second. A hundred bucks and patience. No complex strategies, no day trading, just hodling through the chaos. The show treated Bitcoin like a novelty back then, but it turned out to be something far more significant.

It's a powerful reminder of how early we still are in this space. History doesn't repeat, but sometimes it does rhyme.

100 yuan over 12 years becomes 1.4 million... This number makes me nervous. How many people are buying in at the peak?

Damn, 100 bucks turned into 1.4 million. This is the price I pay for not going all in earlier.

100 yuan turns into 1.4 million... I should have known back then to sell everything and go all-in.

Over 100 yuan turned into 14 million in more than ten years, which is why I still hold.
